In an interview with [_People_](https://people.com/tv/kit-haringtons-favorite-game-of-thrones-scene-wife-rose-leslie/)_,_ Harington (who plays hero of the North, Jon Snow) shared that his favorite scene with Leslie (who played the wilding Ygritte, who became Jon’s lover) was actually one that broke the hearts of many _Game of Thrones_ fans — when Ygritte dies in Jon’s arms during battle. “I liked her death. I know, it sounds bizarre,” Harington said. “I thought she nailed that. And it’s the first time in _Thrones_ that slow motion was used and I think it’s a beautiful, cradling moment as this battle is raging in the background. It was one of those incredible shots.” Relationship speculation circulated around Harington and Leslie since 2012, but the couple officially confirmed that they were an item in 2016\. They later became engaged in 2017 and then tied the knot in summer of 2018. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5579684/kit-harington-favorite-game-of-thrones-scene-with-rose-leslie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5579684/kit-harington-favorite-game-of-thrones-scene-with-rose-leslie/"},"headline":"Kit Harington's Game of Thrones Favorite Scene With Rose Leslie Might Make You Weep","datePublished":"2019-04-29T15:27:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:08.178Z","description":"Jon and Ygritte forever","url":"https://time.com/5579684/kit-harington-favorite-game-of-thrones-scene-with-rose-leslie/","keywords":["Newsfeed","game of thrones"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt13367221d45f2742/6989492b86f68e765d6ebc72/kit-harington-favorite-game-of-thrones-scene-with-rose-leslie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt13367221d45f2742/6989492b86f68e765d6ebc72/kit-harington-favorite-game-of-thrones-scene-with-rose-leslie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Olivier Awards With Mastercard - Red Carpet Arrivals","caption":"The Olivier Awards With Mastercard - Red Carpet Arrivals","creditText":"Jeff Spicer—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5579684/kit-harington-favorite-game-of-thrones-scene-with-rose-leslie/","name":"Kit Harington's Game of Thrones Favorite Scene With Rose Leslie Might Make You Weep"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Game of Thrones | Season 8 Episode 4 | Preview","description":"Game of Thrones | Season 8 Episode 4 | Preview","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/hzNP5pHr/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-04-29T03:15:39.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/hzNP5pHr.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5579684/kit-harington-favorite-game-of-thrones-scene-with-rose-leslie/","duration":"PT30S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5579684/kit-harington-favorite-game-of-thrones-scene-with-rose-leslie/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
