Khal Drogo is also much more of an unthinking brute in the series, which is a shame).

In the books she also developed her strength slowly. I find it quite similar.

Sansa was always a spoiled little girl. Again, I don't think much has changed.

That I agree with. Both are the best characters in the book as they are in the show. I am really astonished they found such a good actress for Arya, she is exactly as I pictured her.

*SPOILER ALERT*

What makes you say that? In the book he was ONLY a warrior. He simply loved her and was more tender than portrayed in the series, but ultimately he died simply died from a festering wound because he did what was traditional, and refused proper treatment.

I don't think there was a single thing that he did in the book that showed greater intelligence or thought. In the series, at least, he is charismatic and influential.

Check out the scene where he first of all is impressed with her when she doesn the stuff I mentioned above with her wedding-gift horse. More importantly how gentle he is with his 15 year old virgin bride in the book, and then think about the crude and brutal scene with crying Dany in the series. Big difference.

/edit

Remembered another favorite. Littlefinger is brilliant in the TV adaptation

Wait wut? He did it anyway in the book too (iirc). And in the series he was wiping her tears away but continued.

err actually he might've survived with the traditional methods but Dany made him have treatment from a nun/priest person from the temple they trashed who wanted him dead and THAT killed him.
