Someone’s Friend Just Tweeted Interesting Game Of Thrones Casting News, Probably Cost Someone A Job

Rebecca told me to use a photo of Hodor for the top pic but I didn’t want to get anyones’ hopes up. That being said, A Song of Ice and Fire readers will probably be happy to see the succession of tweets below involving casting for Season 5… 

You can take this information from @neversquare with a grain of salt if you like but the screencapped tweets are no longer to be found. This leads us to believe HBO is casting (along with most of Dorne) Maggy the Frog, a fortune teller from the book series [Edit: Whoops, we forgot Maggy was already mentioned as being in the casting stages.], in addition to Young Cersei. This would be the first time the series has showed us anything but present events.
