Fans of the wizarding world have a new audio treat to look forward to: Kit Harington, widely recognized for his role in Game of Thrones, is now part of a full-cast audio edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Harington takes on the character of Gilderoy Lockhart, the famously boastful Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

In an exclusive early listen, it's noted that Harington’s portrayal of Lockhart is "unrecognizable," offering a fresh and distinct voice for the character. This new audio project allows listeners to immerse themselves in the second Harry Potter story with a complete ensemble cast.

It's important to remember that this audiobook project is separate from the highly anticipated Harry Potter HBO Original series. The TV series, which began filming in summer 2025 and is slated for an early 2027 release, will feature its own cast, including Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter and Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape. While we eagerly await the live-action adaptation, this new audiobook offers a wonderful way to revisit the magic and hear a familiar actor bring a classic character to life in a different medium.

This news, reported on December 15, 2025, provides an exciting opportunity for fans to enjoy a new interpretation of a beloved character.
