Great New Game of Thrones Season 2 Images

With barely more than a week until Game of Thrones returns, HBO have released a whole batch of new photos from the we're-so-freaking-excited-it's-ridiculous new season.

While there are great pics of returning characters like Tyrion, Arya and Cersei, fans – particularly those who've read the books --- will be particularly interested by some of our best looks yet at the brand new characters in Season 2.

I've included a sampling of the new photos below, but click on any of them to go to our large Game of Thrones gallery to see more. Oh, and don't be a jerk and put spoilers from the books in the comments without warning, because it'll just get you deleted and banned. And what's the point of that?
