‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 Spoilers: Stark Photo Confirms Major Character Death

A promotional photo for "Game of Thrones" Season 7 may have just revealed a spoiler about a major character's death. The image fuels speculations that Petyr Baelish aka Littlefinger dies in the hands of Arya Stark.

The photo for "Game of Thrones" Season 7 came courtesy of the cover of Entertainment Weekly's June edition, which features the Stark siblings Arya, Sansa, Jon Snow and Bran. At first glance, nothing seems out of the ordinary from the image, but fans were quick to point out the small dagger clipped to Arya's belt.

Viewers may be familiar with the catspaw dagger from Season 1, since it was used in an attempt to kill Bran. Littlefinger had told Catelyn Stark that the blade belongs to Tyrion Lannister, although he came in possession of the weapon after Ned's death. The photo suggests though that Littlefinger may lose the dagger to Arya Stark in "Game of Thrones" Season 7 for reasons still unknown.

Interestingly, seeing Arya with the dagger fuels old speculations that she kills Littlefinger in "Game of Thrones" Season 7. According to spoilers from Metro, Arya kills Petyr Baelish following Sansa's orders. Sansa supposedly discovers his plans to play her against her sister and so she sentences him to death. Arya carries out the order. Perhaps this is when Arya comes into possession of the dagger.

Likewise, Bustle points out one clue from the "Game of Thrones" Season 7 trailer that hints at Littlefinger's death. A blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot shows Jon Snow put his hand around Petyr Baelish's throat. It is unclear what triggered his reaction, but perhaps the new King of the North learns about all the schemes Littlefinger did to his family.

Perhaps, Jon Snow kills Littlefinger in "Game of Thrones" Season 7 and not Arya. Regardless, the presence of the catspaw dagger with Arya seems to confirm Petyr Baelish's death and the reunion of the Stark siblings in Winterfell.
