“[…] if a character dies on a show, you lose the actor from the company. And I love Harry. He’s the most extraordinary, kind, empathetic young man, and he is adored on the show, and he’s also a person that I’ve watched grow up. When he was first on the show, he was there with his dad as a chaperone, and now he’s an adult actor doing it on his own. The combination of having a sense of the scale of Rhaenyra’s grief and the symbolic loss…I didn’t look forward to that day.”
“[…] We didn't see each other in the morning, and he gave me a very, very wide berth [before] we started shooting. And then at lunchtime we passed each other and he said, "Oh, I wasn't sure what would be best, but I thought maybe I'd just give you some space today. But if that's not helpful, you let me know." I always find the intuition of actors very moving. And he was perfect.”
god please bring my family back together 😭
the main responsible for the war. forced alicent into marrying the king. manipulated and took advantage of viserys selfishly to put his own line on the throne. usurped rhaenyra and planned to have her killed. her being the one to finally take him down was FUCKING POETIC.
Emma D’Arcy teases Rhaenyra’s dangerous mindset in #HouseOfTheDragon Season 3.
“There is a growing belief that hers is a holy war, that she has a divine mandate to rule, and that any action she takes in pursuit of that aim has godly backing. I suppose I see that as still requiring an external validation in order to claim one’s name, to claim what one’s owed... It’s what becomes frightening, right? It disables more nuanced conversation. I do think that increasingly extreme position is one of the tinderboxes that now sits in season 3.”
