Hugh Grant in 'Paddington 2' Showed What His Gilderoy Lockhart ... (Collider.com)

Even though Hugh Grant never got to play Gilderoy Lockhart in the Harry Potter films, his character in 'Paddington 2' is pretty close.

[Bonnie Wright](https://collider.com/tag/bonnie-wright/)) from the Chamber of Secrets. Similar to Buchanan, it doesn’t take long for even Harry and Ron ( [Rupert Grint](https://collider.com/tag/rupert-grint/)) to recognize that Lockhart is a charlatan. The moment in Paddington 2 when he is [sentenced to a decade in prison](https://collider.com/movies-that-feel-like-a-warm-hug-after-a-tough-day/) allowed Grant to play out a similar scenario. Grant’s incredible musical number at the end of Paddington 2 when he makes friends with his new companions in prison shows the same sense of jovial idiocy and acceptance. He’s simply a fraud with no real magical talents, and he’s unable to save Harry ( [Daniel Radcliffe](https://collider.com/tag/daniel-radcliffe/)) in a few critical moments. [Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets](https://collider.com/tag/harry-potter-and-the-chamber-of-secrets/). With their best friend imprisoned for a crime that he did not commit, Judy (Madeline Harris) and Jonathan Brown (Samuel Joslin) investigate the links between Buchanan and the missing book. [Kenneth Branagh ](https://collider.com/tag/kenneth-branagh/)was cast as Lockhart, and delivered an uproariously funny performance that was truly unlike the Shakespearean actor had ever done before. [Hugh Grant](https://collider.com/tag/hugh-grant/) was once the romantic idol of a generation thanks to his roles in [romantic classics](https://collider.com/hugh-grant-best-movies/) like About a Boy, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually, and Notting Hill, just to name a few, he’s managed to completely reinvent himself as a playful character actor within the last few years of his career. It’s quickly revealed that Buchanan’s acting career is somewhat of a hoax; he’s secretly a master burglar with his eyes set on a pricey book, and he cruelly framed the innocent bear for the crime, landing him in prison. Branagh chews the scenery as he tells the students of his adventures, but seemingly forgets to give them any actual lessons. What better way to save face, calm the fears of Wizarding parents, and engage the students in the curriculum than by hiring a celebrated author who has written many popular books about his grand adventures?

But what we have to do is begin to say, ‘so what truly are some of the wildest dreams that we have, if we had the opportunity that no other community has?’” Again, like I said, we have a long way to go before we're able to do some of that [...] But being an innovator, being a pusher — I would always say to my team, you’ve got to answer this question, ‘Are we leading? But this newer approach accepts that many will be priced out of housing — while the bottom line can still benefit as long as enough remaining renters are paying considerably higher rents. On the issue of childhood development, Buster sees the potential for transformational change. Buster said the endowment started with the amount it wanted each family to receive and then worked from that to generate the grant amount. But, without the “right organizations” to absorb tens of millions of dollars, every year, it’s an issue. Many nonprofits rely on volunteers and part-time employees, with limited core staff and sometimes limited physical space — so even with an influx of funding it can be difficult to ramp up operations. And so when you start to talk about who can take this grant, your number of organizations actually really gets smaller,” Buster said. And I felt like this was an opportunity to do something that was really time-bound. Buster said he originally considered directing funding to directly assist with mold remediation — but that WHA’s new director Tyrone Garrett, then on the job about a month, said that wasn’t necessary. “For me, those are the ones that I really am excited to talk to. That’s why it didn’t go through the same process as the rest of the grants.

According to Fiztpatrick's office, Bucks County made history in 2020 when the district attorney's office became the first to license the film, and in less than a year, Weintraub's office secured commitments from 30 of the 39 police chiefs in Bucks County to use the film to train officers.
