1 Peter Dinkleydzh was the only one George Martin considered for the role of Tyrion Lannister.

5 The series "Game of Thrones" is happening on Earth. In an interview with George Martin said that the action cycle of novels "A Song of Ice and Fire" takes place on planet Earth.

Martin put on the winning team New York Giants, Patrick - winning Dallas Cowboys. Dallas Cowboys have won the match. Martin, fulfilling the promise, came up with the character - the namesake of Patrick, and then brutally murdered him. "Royal Mountain" - a reference to the place of residence of the real Patrick - the city of Montreal, which translated from French means "royal mountain").

7 Jorde Martin insisted that the show more attention was paid to the battle scenes. In his books, George Martin pays much attention to the description of large-scale battles and engagements, while the creators of the series prefer to save money on such things. It is not surprising that the writer was very much afraid that the battle scenes, will find no reflection on the screen and be replaced by something more deshevym.Telekanal HBO has not stinted and allocate sufficient funds to display the large-scale battles.
8 George Martin does not allow the series to influence what he wrote, because he is working on a series of novels "A Song of Ice and Fire" for more than 25 years. The exception was only Osh - one of the wildlings. As told to the author, he planned to make this character pass-through, but the show made him look at Osh other eyes, to see in it the depth and therefore take up more space in her novels.
9 Maester Aemon really blind. 90-year-old British actor Peter Vaughn, who got the role in the TV series Meister Aemon - old and wise servant of the Night Watch - as blind as his character. It was hardly a prerequisite for the role, but knowing love Martin to realism, it could well be.
10 Alfie Allen - who plays Theon Greydzhoya - the younger brother of the famous British singer Lily Allen. The girl wrote a song about it "Alfie)", the eleventh track of their debut album Alright, Still.

Being the main character, he lived for a short time - as well as many of the characters' Game of Thrones. " In one of his interviews, the writer said that the "Miracle Man" liked him precisely because he died in the first story. The sudden death of the main character so impressed with Martin that he moved on to creating the tragic and doomed characters.
12 Catelyn Stark - mother of Hermione Granger. Many of the actors who starred in the "Harry Potter", also took part in the filming of "Game of Thrones".
