Tyrion Lannister is arguable the most popular character in the entire series, usually making the top three people fans' favorites.
According to the network, Daenerys Targaryen is the most popular female "Game of Thrones" character in Ohio, and Gregor Clegane, known as "the Mountain," is the most popular male character.
The first character who comes to mind is maestorial candidate Samwell Tarly (John Bradley-West), a pinnacle of kindness and the model against which everyone else's decency is measured. After being sent to the Wall completely unprepared for the duties of the Night's Watch, he befriends Jon Snow (Kit Harington).
Easily the most callous, dastardly, and self-destructive villain in HBO's Game of Thrones universe, Cersei Lannister was, at points, television's most despised character, as her thirst for power and hatred of her brother, fan-favorite Tyrion Lannister, put her at direct odds with the heroes of our story.
Game of Thrones certainly had its share of smooth-operating schemers across eight seasons, from Littlefinger (RIP) to Varys (RIP). But in the series finale, a surprising name made a last-minute bid to be considered the show's biggest manipulator of all: Tyrion Lannister.
BEST OF THE BEST: Jon Snow and Ygritte
He's a Night's Watch brother!), genuine chemistry (Kit Harington and Rose Leslie became a real couple), a hot-spring hookup, and a heart-shattering tragic ending. Jon Snow knew one thing: He truly loved Ygritte. They're our number one pick for GOT's best couple.
Season 1. Sam is quickly identified as being soft and weak by Castle Black's master-at-arms Ser Alliser Thorne, and suffers in sword-training until Jon Snow convinces the other new recruits to go easy on him.
House Stark takes the crown and Iron Throne as the best of the best that Westeros has to offer. House Stark's noble seat is Winterfell in the North. They're an honorable, just, and overall benevolent house.
1/10 Tyrion Lannister Can Think His Way Out Of Any Mess
Tyrion is one of the few clever Game Of Thrones characters who also manages to stay in the reader's good graces. He may be manipulative at times, but it is often for the good of the realm.
1/20 House Targaryen
At the beginning of Game of Thrones, House Targaryen would have been placed at the bottom of this list. Cast out of Westeros and struggling for survival across the Narrow Sea, the last living member of House Targaryen was a nobody.
As anyone in the Seven Kingdoms can tell you, “A Lannister always pays his debts.” The richest region in the Seven Kingdoms was generally recognized as the Westerlands, home to House Lannister and its gold and silver mines.
The Red Wedding is still the biggest tear-inducing moment of the entire series. A pivotal moment in pop culture, the penultimate episode of season three saw the death of several important characters. Robb Stark watches his pregnant wife Talisa die after she's brutally stabbed in the abdomen.
The only known weaknesses of White Walkers are weapons made of dragonglass or valyrian steel. Upon being stabbed by dragonglass, a White Walker's body will begin to freeze into ice from the point at which it was stabbed, causing the Walker great pain.
Who was worse Joffrey or the mad king? Aerys, however, murdered a countless amount of people and seemed to take great pleasure in doing so. Joffrey was a bad king, but far more people would have suffered torturous deaths under the man infamously known as the Mad King.

Their passion will continue to torment Jon and Arya throughout the trilogy, until the secret of Jon's true parentage is finally revealed in the last book.
One of the less pleasant theories to crop up during this years series of Game of Thrones (and that's saying something) was the idea that Sophie Turner's Sansa Stark, newly liberated from her abusive husband Ramsay (Iwan Rheon), would end up pregnant with his child regardless.
