James Norton, who portrays Team Green antagonist Ormund Hightower in HBO’s House of the Dragon, recently offered viewers an insider’s perspective on the show’s impressive Tumbleton set. In a behind-the-scenes video, the actor guides audiences through the meticulously constructed location while providing entertaining commentary about the production.
Norton’s tour highlights the extraordinary craftsmanship that went into building the Tumbleton set, with the actor praising it as one of the most impressive he has encountered throughout his career. The detailed construction reflects the significant time and resources the production team invested in creating an authentic medieval environment for the series.
The video also captures lighter moments, including Norton’s humorous uncertainty about basic Westerosi geography, as he humorously questions whether the fictional capital is called King’s Landing or Queen’s Landing. These candid interactions showcase a more personable side of the actor compared to his cunning on-screen character.
As Norton concludes his tour by closing the town’s large wooden gates, he delivers a cryptic final message to the camera, warning visitors to avoid becoming trapped as a major military conflict is set to unfold within the location, hinting at dramatic action sequences to come in the show.
