What is a scheduling conflict?

A scheduling conflict happens when a person is booked for two different commitments at the same time, making it impossible to fulfil both. In this story, Nicholas Hoult had to withdraw from playing Gilderoy Lockhart in the HBO series' second season because his other work commitments clashed with the filming schedule, leading to Kit Harington's casting.
