Is Bran the most powerful character in Game Of Thrones?

I think there are so many different characters in the Game

Of Thrones world. You’ve got Cersei, who is arguably one of the most powerful political figures, and then you’ve got your varyses and Littlefingers. But Bran, I think… I’ll be bold and say that overall he probably is the most poweful character, because he’s all-knowing. That’s the point of being the Three-Eyed Raven. He can dip into all of time and the history of the universe, in a moment, so I think that in itself presents a huge power for Bran. But at the same time, what’s neat about it is the way this power has been given to one of the least physically powerful characters. If Cersei had that power, I dread to think how it would go down.

Is fighting with spirit more important than physical fights on the battlefield?

There is only one fight, really, in

Game Of Thrones, and that’s between the humans and the White Walkers. That’s what all of this has been leading up to. I think what’s been clever is you’ve had all this petty squabbling going on for years, and all these people vying for the Iron Throne. It’s such an irrelevant problem in the face of the White Walkers.

What story will your grandchildren become sick of you telling about the show?

For me this has literally been my adolescence. I joined the show when I was 10 so it’s pretty much been half my life, which is a weird concept. Every day there’s a different story. To me it’s been like school or something. It’s been as integral to my life, and as regular a yearly fixture. There are so many stories.
