93 Behind-the-Scenes 'Game of Thrones' Pictures That Will Destroy the Magic for You

The people behind Game of Thrones have succeeded in creating more than just a show. They've created an immersive world. It's easy to get lost in the series and feel that Westeros is a real place—but it's not. And the cast aren't afraid to remind us of that via loads and loads of illusion-shattering, behind-the-scenes pictures.

In honor of the show's eighth and final season, which is airing Sundays on HBO, here are 93 of the most magic-ruining BTS shots the cast have ever shared. Sorry.
