I don't get why you don't understand using the show's PBs. Pretty much every book fandom uses the adaptations actors as their PBs once they come out.

As for the age thing, it's definitely the uncomfortable playing such young characters in such adult situations.

I don't think it's be considered AU if you pull from both the book and the show. Wasn't it partially George's idea to age them up for the show? And the younger characters pretty much stay the same between book and show. I didn't notice any differences between anyone besides age. And Robb being a douchebag.

It absolutely was GRRM's idea, and he's stated on his LiveJournal both that he originally started the characters very young because he thought he was going to have a five year timeskip early in the plot (that ended up being unworkable, see also the Meereneese knot) and that if he could change one thing about the books, he would have made most of the characters their show ages from the beginning.

There are definitely differences though! One I've noticed in DWRP (possibly making anon pointless but oh well) is that Theon's relationship with the Starks in the show is very different. In the books, Robb, the eldest, is still a good five years younger than Theon and Theon sees him as a little brother and barely notices the younger siblings. His loyalty is loyalty to the Starks as a house and Robb as a fondness. In the show, they're obviously much closer in age and have experienced various coming of age social rituals together, so therefore Theon's eventual betrayal is more acute. But for me personally, exploring that and making book canon work with show ages was part of the fun.

How old are the characters supposed to be on the show, anyway?

afaik everyone was pretty much aged up two years or so, so jon, robb and theon are all like 17ish, sansa is 15, arya is 13, bran is 11, and rickon is 6. give or take like a year for each of them.

jon robb and theon are all around 17-19, sansa is 13, arya is 11 or 12, bran is 10, and rickon is 6

the older boys and arya are estimates, the other three all have stated ages in the show
