Every sentimental franchise actor has to keep a token from their time on set. Who among us wouldn't snag a lightsaber, wand, or other iconic prop if we were part of the films and shows that made them legend?

So it was for Game of Thrones' Kit Harington, who revealed on BBC Radio that kept, not his sword or man bun or IKEA furs, but the statue of his character we just saw in the crypts.

Harington told morning show host Zoe Ball that he and only he of the Starks (or Targaryens) kept his crypt statue – for emotional reasons, of course.

"They sent it to my house," he said with a laugh. "Got it in my shed, how sad is that? I was the only one who kept the statue, that's how narcissistic I am. I'm gonna turn it into a water feature."

Harington recently described himself and his costars as being "broken" by the end of filming the final six episodes, but they remain bonded by the experience and by being the only ones who know how this massive story all ends.

"It's weird...I think for all of us, walking around with this big kind of secret, cause we know how it all wraps up," he told Ball.

Harington said he was "maybe not happy, but very satisfied" by the end, likening it to the bittersweet feeling of finishing a book (cough cough, George R.R. Martin).

"You don't finish a good book and say, 'I'm happy I finished that,'" Harington said. "But you have this grief that it's over, and it's exactly same with nine years doing this show. No matter how it ended, or how it does end, there's always this bit of you that's like, 'oh'; there's this loss around it."

"I'm so excited for people to see it," he added. "I think it's going to be extraordinary, hopefully it'll change TV again like it did originally, and break boundaries. I think it might."

Game of ThronesSeason 8 premieres April 14 on HBO.
