Gilderoy Lockhart – Kenneth Branagh
Kenneth Branagh faced criticism from fans for his portrayal of the conceited, conceited novelist Gilderoy Lockhart, much like the spell that had confused his mind. Co-star Daniel Radcliffe teased the younger actors on set by calling Kenneth “really naughty” off-camera. After starring in “Valkyrie” in 2008, the actor received recognition for his outstanding performance as Laurence Olivier in “My Week with Marilyn” in 2011. Did you know that since he was a young child, he has been a fan of “Thor”? When he was chosen to helm the film adaptation, he was given the whole library of Marvel Thor comics as reference material for the character.
