However, spending the majority of his day cleaning up shit (yep, we gagged during that scene too) you can't blame him for getting a little curious about what's behind the locked gates in the library.
In conversation with archmaester Ebrose, played by Jim Broadbent, he discussed getting access to the restricted area - a conversation Jim Broadbent has had before with none other than Voldemort.
Yes, fans of Harry Potter were quick to point out the similarities between the GOT scene, with Horace Slughorn's conversation with Tom Riddle’s in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince where a young Voldemort asks for access to the 'restricted section'.
Sam literally just became Harry Potter... talking to Slughorn and trying to get into the restricted section of the library. #gameofthrones
