Lenny Rush is known for his performance in the series "Am I Being Unreasonable?" The British actor won the award for Best Male Comedy Performance at the British Academy Television (BAFTA) Awards for the role.
It was previously announced that Nicholas Hoult was planned to play the character Gilderoy Lockhart in the second season, but it was later announced that the role was given to Kit Harington due to the actor's busy schedule.
Adapted from J.K. Rowling's seven-book series, the HBO production will bring the "Harry Potter" story back to screens with a new cast. The first season is based on the first book, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."
The first season, consisting of eight episodes, is planned to premiere on HBO on Dec. 25 and via the platform in regions served by HBO Max.
In the series, Dominic McLaughlin plays the new "Harry Potter," Arabella Stanton plays "Hermione Granger," and Alastair Stout plays "Ron Weasley."
