Natalie Dormer On That Shocking GAME OF THRONES Finale; Plus Pics From Her Harper's Bazaar Photoshoot
Following that explosive season 6 finale of Game of Thrones, Natalie Dormer discusses the fate of her character, Margaery Tyrell. We also have some stylish snaps from her recent Harper's Bazaar shoot...
The season 6 finale of Game of Thrones opened with one of the most acclaimed scenes in the show's history, as Cersei Lannister exacted a devastating revenge on the High Sparrow and his minions. Unfortunately for the Tyrells, they were also doomed to share that fiery fate - not that the new Queen had any qualms about dispatching one of her main rivals.
Natalie Dormer has played Margaery since season 2, and always seemed to be a match for Cersei when it came to manipulation - but on Sunday night she realised far too late that she'd underestimated how far her mother-in-law would go in order to punish her enemies.
In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Dormer shares her thoughts on Margaery's untimely demise.
It seemed an exciting, fitting way to depart. Margaery's been battling Cersei for the last however many years and she ends up dying on the show not because she didn't beat Cersei, but because she trusted that someone else—the Sparrow—was handling her. She had the reins taken away from her, from being in control of the situation; the High Sparrow took the reins and it proves that he underestimated Cersei in a way that Margaery never would have.
There's a moment before Margaery and the High Sparrow die when they look at each other and Margaery realizes that Cersei has outplayed him and she's gonna die because of that. There's this moment that Jonathan Pryce gives as well; this look on his face when he realizes he's been outplayed by Cersei. Margaery is a fatality of the High Sparrow underestimating Cersei.
