Reddit has multiple threads which are sporting the leaks in the form of snaps and gifs. The leak seems to be giving away a major plotline with snaps revealing scenes which were not shown in the preview which HBO had officially released. Reddit user The Slayer Slayer posted a screenshot of a scene which shows Jon Snow and Tormund Giantsban walking past the Wall. Given that the scene was not revealed in the preview is making users believe that the leak might be legit.
Another crucial leak shows a gif where the Night King touches one of the dragons whose eyes turn blue.
