A near two-year wait for Game Of Thrones is an unbelievably difficult thing to ask of ardent fans of the epic fantasy. So, we look for our regular fix in various ways — speculating fan theories or eagerly scouting the internet for any leaks or hints to what’s in store. Here’s the latest: A benevolent Twitter user shared some set photos from the Croatian town of Dubrovnik, which serves as King’s Landing in the TV series.
In the behind-the-scenes photos originally shared on Croatian site 24sata, everyone’s favourite bastard Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) — still in his winter clothes — can be seen enjoying a cup of coffee and smoking a cigarette at Westeros’ capital with a mysterious hooded companion. The fansite Watchers on the Wall claim it is just one of the members of the Night Watch.
This is obviously the first time Harrington has ever been seen in this part of the world and it has certainly sparked our imagination.
