Game Of Thrones: 10 Leaked Season 6 Set Photos (And What They Mean)
9. Jon Snow's Funeral/Resurrection At Castle Black
In addition to photos of Kit Harington near the Game of Thrones set popping up everywhere, there's also this leaked picture that reveals a bit more about the fate of Jon Snow. It's taken from far away and is super blurry, but the photo shows a column of smoke billowing from the set in Magheramorne, where scenes for Castle Black are filmed. There's also a pretty large crane visible, so you can imagine there will be some sort of money shot taken from above. Hmm, an epic scene at Castle Black with a bunch of smoke, huh?
The natural conclusion to make is that the crew is filming Jon Snow's funeral, resurrection, or both. A distinct possibility is that the Night's Watch will burn Jon's corpse, as you should probably do in a world where bodies can be raised from the dead, but because he's the prince that was promised, he rises from the flames. This could also be the scene of Melisandre resurrecting Jon, perhaps by performing some sort of ritual of fire.
If you're thinking that this could just be the burning of Jon's body and that's all Kit Harington was there for, then why did he arrive on set three weeks before this scene was filmed? No, something fishy is going on here, and this picture is just more proof that Jon is coming back.
