It is one of internet’s favourite games - spotting Kit ‘Jon Snow’ Harington and taking cues from his hair style or location, simply to prove that the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch is still alive.
However, this time they could actually be right as Kit Harington was spotted at Belfast airport.

This is also one of the location where the next season of Games of Thrones is being filmed. Several other cast members were also spotted at the site and twitter was abuzz with news of the sightings.
Soon, another set of photos emerged where the actor was spotted strolling on the street and having fun with fellow cast member Ben Crompton (Dolorous Edd) in Belfast. The two actors were reportedly hanging around near Titanic Studios.

Comments from cast members at LFCC confirm that filming began this Monday July 20th, as expected.

According to media reports, the production has had a heavy presence at Garron Point in Co. Antrim in Northern Ireland since last Thursday. Many trailers and horse boxes have been sighted, and the production base seems to be set up at St. Killian’s College. This location has been previously used in the show as the grounds surrounding Runestone (Yohn Royce’s keep) in the season 5 premiere.
It’s true that most fans of the hugely popular HBO series are massively invested in Jon Snow’s storyline and want to see him alive him. However, does a Harington sighting in Belfast guarantee Jon Snow will return in any shape or form other than a stone-cold corpse?
No, I suppose not. Charles Dance also spent some time filming in Belfast last year and all we got from Tywin in Season 5 were those crazy rock eyes.
Perhaps we get to see him in flash backs or something similar. But for Game of Thrones fans this sighting is a sign that they may get to see more of their favourite character.
