We can’t imagine a more delightful way to spend a cold Friday afternoon than poring over these new photos from Season 3 of Game of Thrones, which premieres on March 31st. You’ll find plenty of shots of fan favorites like Tyrion and the Khaleesi, as well as a few promotional images of the new faces in the mix, including Ciaran Hinds as “King Beyond the Wall” Mance Rayder and Love Actually’s Thomas Brodie Sangster as Jojen Reed. Click through to check them out, and let us know in the comments if you find the photo of Joffrey playing with a crossbow as annoying as we do.
