In a season eight teaser released earlier this month, Snow and other characters can be seen walking into a crypt filled with statues of themselves.
Harington was so taken with Snow’s statue he decided to keep it – and he now has plans to turn it into something even grander.
“I kept that statue, you know? The one in the crypt,” he said on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show. “I kept it. They sent it to my house so I’ve got it my shed. How sad is that?”
He added: “I was the only one who kept their statue. That’s how narcissistic I am. I’m going to turn it into a water feature.”
Game of Thrones is set to wrap up at the end of season eight.
The premiere is scheduled to air in April 2019.
Harington told Ball he has experienced “grief” as the end of the show nears but is “very satisfied” with the ending.
