3. Hardhome 2

Beric. Dondarrion. He alone earns this a spot as one of the most anticipated moments of Season 7, stealing the show as he ignites his flaming sword and gets ready for action. But the whole sequence promises to be an absolute stunner, and a sequel to Season 5's Hardhome.

Jon leads a group ranging in far north - it looks like they might actually go back to Hardhome itself, though it's difficult to really tell - and, naturally, become embroiled in a huge battle against wights and White Walkers.

The includes a bevy of fan-favourites, with the likes of Tormund, Thoros, and the Hound joining Jon and Beric, and if Hardhome and the Season 7 trailers are anything to go by, it promises to be one of the most haunting, balletic, and barnstormingly brilliant moments in all of Season 7, and quite possibly the whole show.

There'll be some jaw-dropping, heart-stopping action, characters we love in peril (and some will probably die), and in a shortened run this will quite likely serve as Season 7's 'episode 9' moment, and an indelible tease of the Great War we've been hearing so much about.
