Game Of Thrones' Kit Harington Desperately Wanted To Keep This One Prop

In 2019, The Hollywood Reporter asked Kit Harington if there were any props he wanted to keep from the set of "Game of Thrones."

"I'm still hoping for my sword!" Harington replied. "But they don't seem to be sending it to me. I'm still waiting, let's put it that way. I'm still waiting for my sword, HBO! When is it going to arrive?"

The sword in question, obviously, is Longclaw. It's made from ultra-high quality Valyrian steel, the recipe for which has been lost by the time "Game of Thrones" takes place. It's one of the rare weapons capable of killing White Walkers, so it's highly valuable. Longclaw originally belonged to Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen), who gave it to his father Jeor (James Cosmo), commander of the Night's Watch. Ser Jeor then gives it to Jon during Season 1, and Jon wields it for the rest of the series.

Longclaw is an iconic weapon, so Harrington was unfortunate not to get to keep it. "House of the Dragon's" lead actor was a bit luckier. Matt Smith got to keep his own sword from the show–his is also a Valyrian steel sword, named "Dark Sister." Maybe Longclaw just got lost in the mail?
