With the seventh season of Game of Thrones due to hit our screens on 16 July, HBO has been teasing fans of the show with no end of juicy tidbits.
Most recently, 15 new photos from the upcoming season of Game of Thrones, were released, prompting a wave of excitement that hasn’t been seen since… the promo they released in March.

R. Martin’s novels. As of right now, we’re treading new ground.
With that in mind, we count down 30 predictions of for Game of Thrones season 7 and discuss their plausibility or lack of.
