Will Harry Gilby Play Daeron Targaryen In House Of The Dragon Season Three? Find Out

As an ardent fan of House of The Dragon, I must say that the casting of Harry Gilby as Daeron Targaryen has left me absolutely thrilled! With his striking resemblance to Olivia (I guess we all see it now), and his impressive acting background in shows like The Last Kingdom and Tolkien, he seems like a perfect fit for our beloved young prince.


In the final episode of the second season, it was made clear that Daeron Targaryen played a significant role. He is the youngest son of the late King Viserys and Queen Regent Alicent, and in this battle against the Hightower army, he soared above on his dragon, Tessarion. This scene suggests that he may be supporting either the Blacks or Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen.

The intrigue surrounding his character has grown steadily throughout the second season of House of the Dragon, leaving fans eager to know who will be cast in the part. Despite uncertainty about the details for season three, rumors hint that the British actor, Harry Gilby, might take on the role.

As reported by Fandom Wire, it is said that actor Gilby will take on the role of the youthful Targaryen Prince. With a notable acting resume at just 23 years old, Gilby has already made an impact in the industry. Notably, he played young J.R.R. Tolkien in the movie “Tolkien”, and also appeared in “The Last Kingdom” and its follow-up series, “The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die”.

Although the official confirmation from the show’s creators hasn’t arrived yet, fans seem thrilled about the rumored casting of Gilby as they believe it’s an excellent match. There’s been a flood of positive reactions from fans regarding this casting news.

1. User A said, “He really resembles Olivia in my opinion.” On X (formerly Twitter), User B commented, “This is an excellent selection. I recognize him from The Last Kingdom, and he’s a great fit for Daeron!” Another user noted that the young actor was widely favored by fans for this role. “It’s amazing how everyone had the same fan casting for Daeron,” they added.

In HOTD season 2, Alicent’s brother, Ser Gwayne Hightower, characterized Daeron as kind-hearted, a trait he feels is missing in her sons Aegon and Aemond. He praised Daeron as brave, intelligent, and skilled both musically with his lute and militarily with his sword. Additionally, Gwayne noted that Daeron was quite popular among young ladies.

Raised far from the Red Keep, away from his mother, siblings, and under the care of his great-uncle Hobert and nephew Ormund, Daeron found himself as their ward. Given that Daeron is a dragon rider, he’s likely to play a pivotal role in the imminent Targaryen family conflict.
