Harry Potter actor Sir Kenneth Branagh receives British knighthood medal at ceremony
 

Sir Kenneth Branagh, known to Harry Potter fans as portraying Professor Gilderoy Lockhart in Chamber of Secrets, officially received his British Knighthood medal from Queen Elizabeth II at an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Friday. The announcement of Branagh's knighthood came this past June, where he spoke very proudly of the recognition.

Photos of the Oscar-nominated actor and director with his family and accolade can be seen here. Sir Kenneth now joins other Harry Potter actors who have received their Knighthood or Damehood, including Dame Maggie Smith and Sir Michael Gambon.
