In his recent interview with Variety, published on Tuesday, December 16, Kit Harington spoke about the love he has had for the Harry Potter books since his childhood, explaining that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is his favorite book. The second audiobook of the popular children's franchise, which released on Tuesday, follows the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, released on Audible last month on November 26. During his interview, he said:

"I’m a big book nerd. I never really got into the movies so much. I did watch them, but I didn’t come to it through them. I loved the books when I was growing up. I was one of those people who was given the book — I was 11 and Harry was 11. I grew up with them. Then they kind of left my life for a bit as I got older."

Harington further pointed out a plot hole in the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire book, saying:

"It’s good and it’s got a great ending. I have some questions about the plot holes during the tournament. Other than the dragon one, they don’t get to see underwater and they can’t see in the maze, so I don’t see what’s in it for the rest of the school?"

Kit Harington also spoke about how he would love to play any role in the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series, adding that he would even be happy playing a "background extra" character.

Most recently, Kit Harington starred opposite his fellow Game of Thrones co-star Sophie Turner in the upcoming gothic drama film The Dreadful, directed by Natasha Kermani.
