Arguably one of Britain's best leading actors appears ready to do his Harry Potter duty. Hugh Grant is allegedly signed to portray Gilderoy Lockhart.

Since I appear to be the only person in the world who doesn't "get" Harry Potter, I had to consult my local witch dictionary to find out that Lockhart is the Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher that is portayed prominently in Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets. Apparently, his good looks make the girls swoon, while the boys are able to see through his lies.

How exciting...
