And she won’t tell anyone which role until the series is over.

Over the weekend, Natalie Dormer dropped a juicy little tidbit during the Game of Thrones panel: She didn't originally audition for the role of Margaery Tyrell.

"I did not get that role, it was given to another actress."

She also said she didn't audition for the role until after Season 1. "I watched the first season and I was blown away by it...I was completely hooked. And then when I knew there was an audition [I went]," Dormer said.

So why didn't she audition for Margaery Tyrell originally? She was worried the character was too similar to Anne Boleyn, a character she'd already played on The Tudors.

Ultimately, she was convinced, though she was "really nervous about it." But it's the fans who've made her feel she made the right decision in taking the role.
