Pics from Itzurun Beach in Zumaia, a busy filming location for Game of Thrones Season 7, are leaking out at an alarming speed. A new batch shows the cast members having a good time, and playing with some familiar-looking props. There are SPOILERS on the other side of the video below, so beware.
Without further ado, I give you: Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) playing with giant plaster dragon heads.
Do you think they’re wielding them like puppets and making them talk to each other? That’s what I’d do.
Anyway, it’s not a shock to see dragon props on Itzurun Beach. This location is standing in for Dragonstone, which is where Daenerys settles after arriving in Westeros. And where Daenerys goes, so go her dragons. I’m guessin the bigger one is a Drogon and analogue while the smaller one is for Rhaegal or Viserion.
Obviously, there’s a lot more to the dragons than props of their heads. For the most part, they are CGI creations added in after the fact. It’s possible that these props will be used to give the actors an idea of where the dragons are in space, a job previously taken on by a green ball on a stick.
“I feel silly.”
There was more fun to be had on set. Here’s Clarke sharing a laugh with Harington…
…and here she is doing a little dance. Or curtsying, or something.
This photo costars Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister).
So it’s smiles all around. But once the cameras started to roll, things got serious between Daenerys and Jon Snow.
No more playing with props. The Mother of Dragons and the King in the North have business.

We’ll bring you more pics from the set as they come in. We’ve just gotta take this call first.
