Kit Harington talks Game of Thrones Season 4 and Jon Snow's 'biggest season'

Kit Harington steps back into his role as Jon Snow for Season 4 of Game of Thrones, which premieres on April 6. The actor teased in a recent interview that his character is in for his "biggest season" yet.

"He starts talking more," Harington told EW.com. "This season is Jon's biggest season. The major thing for him is he doesn't have the usual patriarchal figure over his head telling him what to do. There's no Uncle Benjen, no Qhorin Halfhand, no Mance Rayder. He's found himself back at The Wall and he knows there's an imminent threat from the Wildlings. There's a power struggle between him and the Castle Black commanding officers."

Harington also revealed that Jon tries to gain control of Castle Black in order to protect the Seven Kingdoms from a Wildling invasion, which means he has to step up and talk some more.

"He's never spoken much, he's always been talked to," he said. "He absorbs things and I like that about him. This season he had a speech and it felt very weird and unnatural playing Jon Snow for three years - he's such a silent character - for him to make a stirring speech. It was very well written, you can tell he doesn't want to do it but he has no choice."

Last season, Jon killed the Halfhand at his own request, which could create some problems when he again comes across Ser Alliser Thorne, the master-at-arms of Castle Black.

"He has to account with what he's done and where he's been to Master Thorne, who we haven't seen since season one and never liked him in the first place," Harington said.
