Since the prequel to Game of Thrones in which we discover the darkest secrets of the Targaryen house, the series has become an essential part of our lives and, without a doubt, one of the the best premieres of this 2022.
We are amazed by its protagonists, from the young Rhaenyra Targaryen to whom she gives life Milly Alcock up to the style of Emily Careythe costumes, the photography or the incredible and intense plot that the series exudes.
That’s why we love everything that has to do with the series and also with the book on which it is based, fire and blood by George R. R. Martin, which promises us much more tension in the following seasons. Although not everything is the same as in the books.
Fire and Blood (A Song of Ice and Fire): 300 years before Game of Thrones. (Targaryen Dynasty: House of the Dragon)
It is complicated that everything is as it is written, especially if we talk about the appearance of the characters. we came up with The Lord of the ringswhich in the book were not like in the moviesand with Harry Potter. And now we will see that the same thing happens with HBO’s latest success and the characters are not exactly as good George described them, something that different Artificial Intelligence tools have decided to remedy. This would be the characters of the house of the dragon if the series had been 100% faithful to the book.

Rhaenyra Targaryen
The Rhaenyra Targaryen played by Emma D’Arcy (who we love dearly), resembles the original character in some features, the tone of her skin and her hair, but in the books, the third of her pregnancies changed her the constitution, which RR Martin described as “strong and thick-waisted”.
Alice Hightower
Played in her adulthood by Olivia Cooke, Queen Alicent is not the most physically described character in the books, but it is mentioned that despite her pregnancies she maintains her figure “slender and elegant” Of course, the eyes are very similar to those of the actress.
daemon targaryens
He became the boyfriend of the Internet until his acts in the last chapters canceled it. The character played by Matt Smith is handsome in the books (and in real life, ahem…) and although he is not one of the most handsome men in the worldyes it has a undeniable appeal.
Criston Cole
Another of the men in the series, played by Fabien Frankel, who is far from the book. He is described as a boy with “pale green eyes and coal-black hair”which has not been maintained in the series, where he also has dark eyes.
rhaenys targaryens
The character of King Viserys’s cousin is played by Eve Best, and she has little or nothing to do with the books. Rhaenys is described as a woman with pale violet eyes and black hair that in time would be filled with gray hair.
Viserys Targaryens
Paddy Considine, the actor who plays the king, saw how his appearance changed during the series due to his illness. In the book he turns “chubby and nice” and with a “bush silver and gold mustache”.
Mysaria
Played in the series by Sonoya Mizuno, this secondary character is another one that is different from the book. He is known as the “White Worm” because of the color of his skin.in the series of a much darker tone.
Laenor Velaryon
We continue with Laenor Velaryon, something different from how he is described in the books. in the style of The little MermaidHBO opted for John MacMillan, an actor for a slightly darker actor, and that in the books is described as having “an hawk nose, silver hair, and purple eyes”, and silver hair very similar to Rhaenys and without dreadlocks.
