Although in the A Song of Ice and Fire book series he has not met her yet, he will. Unlike his onscreen counterpart, Tyrion Lannister was not accompanied by Varys – the Spider – on his journey across the Narrow Sea to meet the Dragon Queen, Daenerys Targaryen. He does however have a scar after the Battle of the Blackwater that goes across his face. Tyrion Lannister, however, is far better looking that his book counterpart and lacks the somewhat ugly physical features. A part of his nose and upper lip was cut off during the Battle of the Blackwater. He is said to walk with a profound waddle. In the books, he is described as having short, stunted legs, a swollen forehead, a squashed-in face and eyes of different colours – green and black. Peter Dinklage – the American actor who portrays him – was 42 years of age when he began filming season 1 of HBO’s Game of Thrones. The clever Dwarf of Casterly Rock, Tyrion Lannister, was 24 in A Game of Thrones – the first book on the A Song of Ice and Fire series whereas his onscreen counterpart was 32 years of age in season 1 of HBO’s Game of Thrones. We have composed a list of 14 book characters who have several differences from the A Song of Ice and Fire books and the HBO show. The age, appearance and storyline of many characters are altered either because they do not translate well to the silver screen or that there is not enough time – or money – to focus on all of the book aspects. When a book is being adapted into a television show, many things get lost in translation and have to be changed to fit the different form of media.
