Game of Thrones Season 7 First Look Photos Are Here

This is like returning from summer vacation and seeing who changed since the last time you saw them. HBO released a beautiful bundle of Game of Thrones Season 7 photos on Thursday, and there's a lot of exciting stuff to look at in the 15 production snaps. All the heavy-hitters are represented -- there's Littlefinger ( Aidan Gillen ) and Sansa ( Sophie Turner ) looking down pensively at the courtyard of Winterfell; Cersei ( Lena Headey ) and Jaime ( Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ) in the throne room of the Red Keep; Sam ( John Bradley ) and Gilly ( Hannah Murray ) poring over books at the Citadel; Tormund ( Kristofer Hijvu ) smiling awkwardly at his crush Brienne ( Gwendoline Christie ); The Hound ( Rory McCann ) on horseback; and everyone's favorite child soldier Lyanna Mormont, among many others. Game of Thrones Season 7: Everything We Know So Far But the most exciting photos are the ones that give us a good look at Daenerys' ( Emilia Clarke ) new Westeros costume. She's looking very imperial in a long, uncharacteristically dark dress with a matching cloak and dramatic shoulder pads. A new throne requires a new look, you know? Missandei ( Nathalie Emmanuel ) and Tyrion ( Peter Dinklage ) have new leathers, too.
