A Key Player In The Last War Gains The Spotlight In The New ‘Game Of Thrones’ Photos

Many of the greatest moments in Game of Thrones history happened in the penultimate episode of the season: Ned losing his head (season one), the Battle of the Blackwater (season two), the Red Wedding (season three), the Battle of the Bastards (season six). Well, guess what episode this Sunday is

Not that HBO is going to spoil anything.

While the network released nine images from the next-to-last episode of Game of Thrones, they only give vague hints of what’s to come, including Tyrion returning to King’s Landing with Varys, Jon Snow, and extra soldiers, and Euron looking like he’s ready to kill (and eat) another dragon. There’s also Daenerys looking tired and maybe our last Cersei smirk (#CerseiSmirk). But the most interesting image is of Harry Strickland, who’s appeared on the show once before (in the season premiere) but the character, played by Marc Rissmann, didn’t have any dialogue. Consider this our introduction to the captain of the Golden Company, the secret weapon in the “last war”, as Daenerys called it.

You think that coffee cup Imagine if Game of Thrones was decided by a guy named Harry who didn’t have a line of dialogue until the penultimate episode of the series. Harry! Anyway, view the rest of the photos below.
