Kit Harington on Game Of Thrones ending: There were mistakes made

British actor Kit Harington has explained the “fault” with the Game Of Thrones ending and said “there were mistakes made”. The 37-year-old played Jon Snow in HBO’s fantasy epic which ended in 2019 in a way that left many fans disappointed.
