No. It doesn't look much like Kit Harington but then it also doesn't look like the early Robb either. I don't know. All wolves look the same… Perhaps it's a stand-in or stunt double? His face is in shadow, so it would be "easy" to find someone with a similar frame to play the character for a shot and no one know the difference... TV shows and movies will cheat the camera like that a lot of the time. All of the wolves (other than Ghost) look the same. Remember how the boys joke and make fun of how the wolf for Jon is the smallest and a different color than the rest of the pack? |

Interesting. All direwolf's seem to represent personality of the one who adopted them. But Summer seems to be different than Bran. or is that Summer represents the Bran before he fell? Yes, the direwolves are connected to each of the Stark children - even more so in the books. It isn't just Bran who can warg into other beings, but all of the Stark children (including Jon). I remember Arya does it a few times with her direwolf, Nymeria. Arya also uses her warg ability to her benefit after she goes blind (using a nearby cat to see her surroundings). Rickon has dreams/visions similar to Bran where he's an animal, which is referenced very briefly in the show when he tells Bran he saw Ned walking around in the crypts. Yes, Summer represents Bran before he became the three eyed raven. Out of all of them, Shaggydog is the most wild and volatile. It's unfortunate that so little time was given to Rickon as I think GRRM has some interesting developments planned for him based on Shaggydog's personality. In the books, Rickon is still alive with Osha and they're rumored to be heading towards what is essentially known as cannibal land...  The show also hints as a deeper connection (like in the books) between Jon and Ghost where Ghost can disappear for large amounts of time, only to reappear when Jon needs him for protection. Also after Jon is assassinated and Mel does her work on Jon, Ghost senses Jon returning. Although he doesn't warg into Ghost (which is probably going to be the way that Jon temporarily "survives" the assassination until someone can resurrect him in the books), there is a unique bond there. |
