Why Kit Harington Was ‘Pissed Off’ at THIS Scene From GOT; Find Out As He Reveals Why He Can’t Watch House of the Dragon

by

As a dedicated fan, I can empathize with Kit Harington’s emotional journey throughout his time on Game of Thrones. The character he brought to life, Jon Snow, was more than just a role for us fans; he was our friend, our brother, and our leader. It’s no wonder that the disappointment he felt when he wasn’t the one to kill the Night King was shared by many viewers. We all secretly hoped that it would be him, but in the end, Arya Stark’s moment was truly fitting for her character arc.

Actor Kit Harington, best known for his portrayal of beloved character Jon Snow in the hit fantasy series Game of Thrones, previously expressed his disappointment regarding a significant event in the show’s final season. In an open conversation, he candidly revealed his feelings of anger.

Why Kit Harington was “pissed off?”

Actor Kit Harington expressed dissatisfaction over a pivotal scene from Game of Thrones’ final season during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Specifically, he was unhappy that he didn’t get to kill the Night King – a moment many fans had eagerly awaited and considered one of the most significant in the series. In his interview, Harington shared his thoughts on how events unfolded in the episode “The Long Night.”

As an ardent fan, let me confess, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment when it was Maisie Williams’ Arya Stark who brought an end to the Night King. The scene where she used her Valyrian steel dagger to slay the fearsome leader of the White Walkers was a stunning twist in her journey from an apprentice assassin to the one wielding the blade. I must admit, deep down, I had secretly harbored hopes that my beloved character, Jon Snow, would be the one to claim that historic victory. However, I can’t help but acknowledge, “I was a bit envious, only because I wanted to kill the Night King myself!”

The actor shared that he, along with many others, had expected Jon to experience a significant moment given the series’ escalating tension. However, Harington initially felt a bit let down by the turn of events, but later praised it as a fitting conclusion for his character. He admitted to being genuinely pleased for Maisie Williams, attributing the surprising twist as a key element that tied Arya’s transformation from a young girl into a seasoned warrior.

Kit Harington won’t watch House of the Dragon

Over its two highly successful seasons, House of the Dragon has often been likened to its forerunner in storytelling and audience interest. Yet, Kit Harington, who played a significant role in Game of Thrones, seems hesitant to be involved with the spin-off series. This reluctance likely stems from the strong emotional bond he formed with Game of Thrones, a show that significantly shaped his career. In an interview with the Associated Press, Harington candidly admitted to never having seen House of the Dragon.

“Harington expressed that he finds it impossible to watch any more of ‘Game of Thrones,’ as his longtime involvement with the show left a profound emotional impact on him. He admitted that he wishes the upcoming series well, but cannot bear to re-enter the world of Westeros due to his deep connection to the original series, making it challenging for him to become engrossed in any new storyline within that universe.”

Harington’s apprehensions extend beyond House of the Dragon; he admitted uncertainty about revisiting Game of Thrones in the future. Looking back on his journey with the show, he shared that he struggled to move on from it for years and is still uncertain if it has completely left his past. “I doubt I’ll rewatch ‘Game of Thrones’ for quite some time,” he admitted, stating that it requires a significant period to detach oneself from such an emotionally taxing experience.

After finishing his stint on Game of Thrones, Harington is now eager to take on roles that offer a complete character arc, moving beyond episodic appearances and film roles he’s been accustomed to. He believes this is the perfect moment for him to delve deeper into television acting, focusing on the progression of a character over time. On numerous fronts, this shift in his career path seems motivated by an acting challenge and a desire to evolve beyond his previous iconic role.

Kit Harington, who is stepping away from the series, will see his upcoming HBO spin-off “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” released a century after “House of the Dragon” and before the original “Game of Thrones.” The fantasy world that gained mainstream popularity due to Harington’s portrayal is the one this 2025 TV series will delve deeper into. However, it seems he’s eager to leave it behind as he expresses no desire to be part of or watch these new tales.
