Kit Harington has finally spoken out about the Game of Thrones final episode

Game of Thrones might be officially over but it will forever live on in our hearts. One character, however, that will not live on is poor Daenerys. If you’ve not seen it yet (where the heck have you been?!) then this article will contain spoilers, although you’re probably in the wrong place anyway.

During the series finale, our beloved – and surly, Jon Snow makes a harrowing decision in which he kills his lover/auntie/queen Daenerys. Although it obviously sucked to watch, we reckon he did the right thing considering she’d just torched an entire city with her dragon child.

Since the series came to a conclusion, HBO released a behind-the-scenes documentary which includes a scene where the actors find out Dany’s fate.

Notably, Kit Harington, was the most affected.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Kit has finally addressed the scene you could see it coming.

Harington says that when he read the script for the first time he was “completely surprised” by that “holy f–k moment,” though he does think you can see it coming.

“I was completely surprised by it even though you can kind of see the path through the season of how it was getting there—and even the previous couple of seasons before that, once you can look back. But it was still a big shock to me.”

He also said that the scene took three weeks to film because everyone wanted to make sure it was perfect.

“We felt a sense of responsibility over it,” Harington told THR. “We shot the hell out of it. It was essentially a page and a half of dialogue, and we spent three weeks filming it. They wanted to shoot every conceivable angle, every way, to make sure they got it the way they wanted it.”

“When you’re shooting the same scene for two weeks and it’s a page and a half, it becomes a long exercise in concentration,” he continued. “You have to remember the energy you’re bringing in, every day, and making sure it’s consistent. With a highly emotionally charged scene like that, it’s quite a lot, for everyone—the crew, me, and Emilia. It was tiring. It’s one of the hardest things we filmed.”
