I think he backed out due to “outrage” from twitter warriors that hate JK because of the trans nonsense. Scheduling conflicts is just a neutral way of putting it.
You don't think it's because when they cast him they thought they could work around the 2 other projects he'll be filming and they had to pivot after the Potter shooting schedule for Lockhart's scenes changed and they couldn't make it work anymore?

HBO had to work around two pre-existing Hoult projects; when filming of the Gilderoy Lockhart scenes had to shift within the Season 2 production schedule, that was no longer feasible, and the Superman actor was let out of his deal.

Sure, that seems likely. I was just guessing based on how quickly it happened after the announcement. I didn’t put much effort into reading more into it.
I think Kit will do fine as Lockhart. He did the voice in the new audiobooks and I thought he was great in the last two seasons of Industry. Much better acting than what’s been asked of him before in GoT and his other projects.

What point are you even trying to make?
Kit taking over is a plus. At least.

My guess is they wanted to film with Hoult but knew his current projects could conflict (he’s filming Man of Tomorrow and has like three other projects currently in production phase) but made sure to have a backup if it didn’t work out.
And with Harrington also with HBO already and having done voice work for the character, that’s an easy swap.

Old news but Kit Harrington is going to be a really good Lockhart imo
Posted on 9/15/26 at 2:06 pm to Volvagia
Still giving new snape a chance. I have high hopes for the show
Hoult would've been a great pick for Lockhart. maybe he can be put back in as Lupin for S3

Slightly older news, but this is the young Tom Riddle. He was pretty good in the horror Bring Her Back.

He was the coworker in Shaun of the Dead that said "You got red on you" also.

He is in a very good horror movie called The Ritual from 2017. I think it’s on Netflix.
Posted on 9/15/26 at 2:41 pm to Esquire
Yeah, The Ritual is a good shout. He was really good in that, and it definitely makes me more curious to see what he does with Lockhart.

One of my favorite actors currently. Dude nails every role.
ETA: Didn't notice Hoult dropped out.
