Game of Thrones is over, but the community that fell in love with it over the past decade isn’t going anywhere. Today, Mischief Management announced that Sam Coleman, the actor who played Young Hodor in season 6, will be appearing at Con of Thrones 2020, to take place July 17–19, 2020 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
Coleman, of course, was part of the iconic “Hold the Door” scene, which is among the more heartbreaking sequences from the series. Fun fact: Coleman himself wrote and recorded a song about it. Maybe he could perform it live?
At the moment, other guests for Con of Thrones 2020 include Anton Lesser (Qyburn), with other guests yet to be announced. Past guests have included the likes of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Joe Dempsie (Gendry), Jerome Flynn (Bronn), Hannah Murray (Gilly), Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton), Miltos Yerolemou (Syrio Forel), Sibel Kekilli (Shae), Kate Dickie (Lysa Arryn), Esmé Bianco (Ros), Kerry Ingram (Shireen Baratheon), Aimee Richardson (Myrcella Baratheon), and Emmy Award-winning sound designer Paula Fairfield.
And then there are the marketplaces and cosplay contests and the parties and the wonderful, insightful panels. I’ve been on a few of those so you know they’re good. You can find out more and get tickets here.
