Too soon?

Game of Thrones fans may still be curled up on the floor after the show's latest episode saw the tragic end of everybody's favourite, Hodor. "Hold the door" will never sound the same again, but in this cynical world, there's always money to be made.

For something a touch classier, there's a "Hold The Door" memorial door stop on Kickstarter.

Or you could always improvise with existing Game of Thrones merchandise.
