On a similar note, don't watch the show until you read the first book (if you intend to, eventually). Some characters in the show are spot on, some are way off.
I'm currently reading the 1st book after watching the show and wished I'd read it first. Brilliant story and I think the show does an amazing job of converting the books to screen however it would of been great to compare what I interpreted in the books to what they've created on screen.
Most characters in the show are much older than in the books[1]. That's especially apparent in children, a few years make quite a difference. Apart from the age, I find Cersei and Sandor misrepresented.
