Another Harry Potter Actor joins “Game of Thrones”

As the Game of Thrones series has progressed, some of us find ourselves pointing at the screen, yelling ,”Hey! It’s Tonks,” “Look! Did you see Filch? Or Amycus Carrow?” and “Wow, Lady Stark looks a lot like Hermione’s mom…” Soon we will all be pointing at the screen quizzically, asking ourselves why Samwell Tarly’s little brother looks a lot like that punk, Cormac McLaggen.

Freddie Stroma (Cormac McLaggen) has landed the role of Dickon, Samwell Tarly’s little brother. As many may recall, McLaggen was a rather sly, egotistic laddies man. Knowing the likability of many Game of Thrones characters, or lack there of, it may be safe to say that Stroma’s new role as Dickon may not be that far off from his role as McLaggen.

Huffinton Post reports:

Dickon is part of the reason Sam winds up on the Wall in the first place. Their dad Randyll Tarly wanted Dickon, who’s considered more physically gifted, to be his heir, so Sam was basically given a choice between death or the Wall. 

Actor John Bradley, who plays Sam, previously told The Huffington Post that if his character met up with his father, Randyll, again, it would be the “peak of Sam’s dramatic narrative.” Now that Dickon is making an appearance, there could be a major conflict with him, too.

In one corner, we have Dickon. He’s physically gifted and apparently a member of the “Harry Potter” Slug Club. In the other corner we have Sam. He’s … like … scared of stuff.

Anything could happen.
