Kit Harington, a Worcestershire schoolboy turned Hollywood megastar, is among the big names to join in Audible’s Harry Potter.

The Game of Thrones Star will be playing the iconic role of Professor Lockhart – the temporary Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts and famous author.

Harrington will join Keira Knightley, Ruth Wilson, and Iwan Rheon, who will lend their voices to the Audible series.

Harington moved with his family to the outskirts of Worcestershire, in Whitbourne, when he was 11 and attended the Chantry School in Martley, as well as Worcester Sixth Form College.

His vast array of roles also includes the How to Train Your Dragon films, as well as Gunpowder and Pompeii.

The actor regularly travels back to Worcestershire to visit family and friends and has previously been reported to follow the Worcester Warriors and shares a fond love of the cathedral.
