    I wonder will they change some of the character emphasis somewhat for the show?

    In the books for example (contains big spoilers from the books):
    there were no Robb chapters, so him being killed wasn't THAT big of a surprise to me, not in the same way it would have been if Arya was killed, for example, although it was a big twist obviously. I don't think Eddard had his own POV chapters in book one either, did he? It's been a few years since I last read it though. Mostly Eddard and Robb were featured as characters in other people's POV chapters, which I fonud interesting that he divided the characters that way somewhat, and in later books decided to give some people chapters who never previously had a POV chapter.

    It was posted earlier in the thread. And it ain't that difficult to find out elsewhere. ;)

    Also, for those of you (like me) who don't have the time or the inclination to sit through that flash nightmare that is the HBO Maester's Path puzzle... here's the third 'reward' video...

    Yeah Eddard had his own POV chapters alright, though not as much as, say, Tyrion as Ed is only in Book 1.

    Well lads and lassies,wat think you of the cast.
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944947/


    Sean Bean as Edward Stark ,i actually think he is a good choice for this role.

    Peter Dinklage as Tyrion ,meets the height requirement,don't know about his acting ,even though i seen a couple of films he was in ,he was'nt memorable for me.
    As one of my favorite characters in the story,this will be an actors dreams to play.Hope peter does'nt let us down.

    Kit Harington as Jon Snow Have'nt seen him in anything so hes an unknown for me.

    Anyone else got any opinions on the overall cast?


    *Moderators the reason this is posted in literature,is because i am looking for the opinion of boardies that have read the book.
    let's hope if Game of Thrones is successful they move onto some David Gemmill adaptations, surely the Troy trilogy would be perfect
