Aside from constant secrecy, Harington also shared his fears, especially when they filmed the highly acclaimed "Battle of the Bastards" episode.
"I've got a few fears, spiders being one of them, but the worst is my claustrophobia — I'm mortally afraid of crowds. I panic. It was one of the most terrifying things and most uncomfortable — 15 bearded Irishmen crushing you," Harrington said, adding that despite all of that misery, he'll miss filming in Northern Ireland.
The actor also expressed his desire to keep Jon's sword "Lond Claw" after the show is over. However, Harington thinks the production won't be able to give it to him, so he'll probably ask for a replica if possible.
"Game of Thrones" Season 7 premieres on July 16 on HBO.
