Kit Harrington lies about ‘Game of Thrones’ plots

Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow on “Game of Thrones,” says rabid fans push him for details of future episodes, but he refuses or lies to throw them off.

“It’s the funniest when you lie and say something like, ‘So-and-so dies next episode,’ and they go, ‘Really?’ ” he told us at the Crosby Hotel at a Cinema Society screening of “How To Train Your Dragon 2,” in which he also stars.

Of the link between the DreamWorks/20th Century Fox film and “Thrones,” Harington joked, “It’s contractual . . . I now say I don’t do any movie that doesn’t have some kind of scaly, fire-breathing creature in it.”
