Game Of Thrones may have ended on a not-so-great note but we bet you still miss Jon Snow. Kit Harington famously played the character of Snow and became an overnight sensation. Who can forget that cute puppy face of Harrington in the first season's pilot when he meets Ghost for the first time. After 8 seasons, the actor's fan base reached another level and we aren't talking about his female fan base but in general, his popularity has been amazing. Harington's character was the underdog of the show for whom most of the fans were rooting for. Kit Harington Says He Hasn't Watched Game of Thrones Final Season.

"You know nothing Jon Snow" became one of the most popular phrases on the show. As for Kit, the show was special not only on the professional front but also on the personal one given that he met the love of his life, Rose Leslie during Game Of Thrones. She popularly essayed his love interest, Ygritte. As the actor celebrates his birthday on December 26 and turns 33, we look at some of his best moments on the show as Jon Snow. (Not a ranking!)

1. When Jon Killed Styr

This is one of those moments in season 4 when you see Jon fighting at his best. His character finally starts to show some leadership qualities. This battle with the wildlings is a necessary one to the story and mainly for Jon who later goes on to become the lord commander of the Night's Watch. There's a scene where Jon and Styr charge at each other and eventually we see Jon striking him down, it's indeed one of Jon's best moments.

2. You Know Nothing Jon Snow

These may not be Jon's words in the show but this catchphrase sure caught on like wildfire among fans. This line is delivered during an interaction between Jon and Ygritte's characters when he's held her a prisoner. It's amazing how their relationship changes over time. Ygritte is the first girl Jon opens up to and it indeed is a special moment for him. Game of Thrones Actor Kit Harington Checked into Rehab for Stress, Alcohol Use.

3. When Jon kills a White Walker

We don't realise the full potential of White Walkers until they come charging at Hardhome. It is during this battle that Jon for the first time kills a white walker thanks to his Valyrian Steel sword. This is the first time on the show that not only Jon, but even the viewers got excited on finding a way to destroy the white walkers.

4. And He's Back to Life

One of the greatest Jon Snow moments of all time on the show is definitely the one in Season 6 when he first opens his eyes and comes back to life. While fans had debated for the longest time whether his character will return, it was this moment that had everyone jump with joy. It's also amazing how Jon's beloved dire wolf, Ghost senses Jon's presence right before he wakes up in this scene.

5. When Jon Bends the Knee

Well, technically he doesn't because he's in recovery but Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen's relationship's turning point is right this moment where Jon goes from calling her "Dany" at first to later "My Queen" and says that he's ready to bend the knee. Game of Thrones: Kit Harrington Aka Jon Snow’s Shocked Reaction on Daenerys’ Death in the Last Watch Leaves Twitterati Heart-Broken – Read Tweets.

6. Jon Snow and Arya Stark Reunion

Jon and Arya Stark's characters have always shared a beautiful relationship. From Jon gifting Arya her first-ever sword "Needle" the siblings come a long way towards the final season and after going through so much individually, their reunion in the final season was one of the best moments of the show. We bet many of you got emotional during this one!

In the eight seasons, we bet there are many other moments when you thought Jon Snow truly came forward as an amazing character. If your favourite Jon Snow moment is not a part of this list, do comment and tell us! As for Kit, we are more than excited to see the actor join the Marvel universe now and will soon be seen in the much-awaited, The Eternals.
