For those who didn’t manage to enter in time, the website promised a sneak peak at Jim Kay’s take on Gilderoy Lockhart, which you can now see below!
Of course, Lockhart is signing his own photos in the illustration – a portrait tells a thousand stories, after all. Jim Kay’s done an amazing job at making the portrait behind Lockhart look staged, and his attention to detail – as always – is breathtaking!
What do you think of this portrayal of the character? Better than Branagh, or equally, magnificently accurate?
