On Sunday, HBO dropped a Game of Thrones season 8 teaser trailer featuring three of the Stark kids — Jon, Sansa, and Arya — walking through the Winterfell crypts and passing by the statues of their forebears as memorable quotes from the show’s past echo through the stone halls.
At the end of the teaser, the three find statues of themselves and seem rightfully freaked out. After all, they only make statues of the dead. What are you supposed to take from that?
The internet took special note of Jon Snow’s statue, which was the most unflattering of the three. The memes were quick and fierce:
But Kit Harington apparently doesn’t share this outlook, as he told host Zoe Ball on BBC Radio’s The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show that he actually kept the statue:
They sent it to my house. I’ve got it in my shed. How sad is that? I was the only one who kept their statue, that’s how narcissistic I am. I’m going to turn it into a water feature.
When Ball asked Harington if he was “happy” with how Game of Thrones ends, Harington thought on in it for a moment before he gave an answer. “That’s a very good question,” he said. “It’s weird walking around with…I think for all of us…with this big secret, where we know how it all kind of wraps up. It’s like when you finish a book.”
You have this grief that it’s over, and thats exactly the same with doing nine years of this show, and no matter how it does end, there’s always going to be a kind of loss around it. So, maybe not happy, but very satisfied. I’m so excited for people to see it. I think it’s going to be extraordinary. Hopefully, it will change TV again, like it did originally, and break boundaries. I think it might.
Game of Thrones returns to HBO for its eighth and final season on April 14.
