Kit Harington talks football (the British kind, no padding, round ball) with reporters from Seattle Sounders TV.

Still not smiling, but dapper nonetheless.

Fans of Game of Thrones (even a few in costume) line up outside Seattle Cinerama to sneak a peek—or a ticket. The sign reads: "Please let me into Westeros, I forgot my passport."

Is Sophie Turner, aka Sansa Starka, close with Arya (Maisie Williams) in real life? "I hate her!" Kidding, kidding. "We’re really good friends, much different than our characters."

Natalie Dormer, aka Margaery Tyrell, goes blond in her bid to be queen of Westeros. #queensareblond

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, aka Jaime Lannister, looks like he wants to fist bump the fans outside. #bros

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau doesn't mind the costumes—or being shackled in chains and stuck in the mud for hours on end as Jaime Lannister, he says. It helps him get into character.

We're used to seeing Rose Leslie dressed like she's been camping in the woods for a month as wildling Ygritte on Game of Thrones. Luckily, she has a good sense of humor about it: "I brushed my hair for the occasion."

Maisie Williams, aka tomboy Arya Stark, is incredibly poised for a 15-year-old. She's in San Francisco on Wednesday, Seattle Thursday, and New York Friday to see costar Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) on Broadway in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Maisie Williams hasn't read George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series (the inspiration behind GoT), but her parents have and tell her the important parts about Arya's character.

First Game of Thrones star on the red carpet? The brooding Night's Watch guard Jon Snow, or Kit Harington to his mother. No smiles allowed.

HBO brought out the actual throne from Game of Thrones for the afterparty at EMP. Much more comfortable than an Iron Throne made of swords and knives.

John Bradley, aka Night's Watch guardsman Samwell Tarly, says "there's a lot of discomfort" shooting beyond-the-Wall scenes in Iceland, but it's worth it. "To CGI it would be compromising" and it allows a lot of time to have deep thoughts in the darkness at the edge of civilization.

With its multimillion-dollar production budget and epic fight scenes, Game of Thrones deserves to be seen on a (really) big screen like the one at Cinerama.

Jon Snow! Jaime Lannister! Arya and Sansa Stark! Stars of the HBO series turn out for the season 3 advanced screening.
