The 'Game of Thrones' Iron Throne Has a New Occupant ... Sort of
Move aside, Cersei Lannister.
The Iron Throne has been occupied by many a character over six seasons of the HBO hit drama "Game of Thrones," and a member of House Tyrell has just claimed it. Well, kind of. Finn Jones, the actor who portrayed the ill-fated Ser Loras Tyrell, recently took his turn atop the iconic chair at the Chicago "Game of Thrones" Behind the Scenes event.
The official "Game of Thrones" Twitter account tweeted a picture of Loras's short yet glorious stint in the much-coveted seat.

The event took place in Chicago on Nov. 26 and 27 and gave die-hard fans the chance to try out "battle training" at Castle Black with virtual reality technology, revisit key Season 6 moments, view props and costumes, and learn more about visual effects. Oh, the FOMO.
We'll see the battle for the Iron Throne resume when Season 7 premieres next summer. TV gods, grant us patience.
