Kit Harington Was 'A Bit Pissed Off' He Didn't Get To Kill Game Of Thrones' Night King

It's been a number of months since Game of Thrones officially exited our lives, and getting over that breakup has been pretty traumatic.


Some fans were happy with the way it all ended, while others petitioned that the final season be redone entirely. Either way, you gotta hand it to the show's biggest moments, like how the Night King was eventually felled.


Warning: this blog post contains major spoilers for the series finale of Game of Thrones.


If you're all caught up, you likely remember that it was none other than Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) who ended up taking the Night King out for good. What's more, Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) ended up as king, in case you could believe that! Long story. It likely came as a shock that ol' Jon Snow (Kit Harington) wasn't the one to plunge the blade in the Night King alternatively, and for fans a little bit annoyed that it didn't happen, well...So is Kit!


“I was a little bit pissed off, only because I wanted to kill the Night King," he divulged to The Hollywood Reporter about Arya's Night King eradication in the series' final season.


“I think I felt like each person else did, in that it had been set up for a long time, and then I didn’t get to do it. However I was so happy for Maisie and Arya. I was secretly like, ‘I wanted to do that!'" Harington said.


“But it was a really fantastic twist, and yes it tied up Maisie’s journey in a really cute way. Over the seasons, we’ve seen her build up these skills to be this hardened assassin, and she uses it all to kill our main antagonist.” All's well that ends well – and you also had to know our little Arya needed an outlet for all that pent-up rage. What better the the dastardly Night King?


However Harington was sympathetic to others' plights on set, especially any time it came to Emilia Clarke's dragon scenes. Despite not being all in on how uncomfortable it must have been to ride on the "dragon" on set, he soon realized how challenging it was any time it was hit turn.


“I was on the back of that buck for longer than we filmed the full ‘Battle of the Bastards’,” he mentioned. “Emilia had been moaning about it for seasons, and I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whichever. You have not been via mud in Northern Ireland. A buck in a nice warm room? Boo hoo,'" he teased. Nevertheless he was about to learn that day.


“But she was absolutely right. It was horrific. It’s not acting at all. It isn't acting, it never will be acting, and it also isn't what I’d signed up for… It is very uncomfortable as a man.” Um, yikes. Don't we know it? Harington almost lost a testicle while filming, so we're glad things didn't take a turn for the worse.


So, maybe some fans wish Jon had killed the Night King also. Although what actually happened was still pretty badass – you won't find us complaining.
