I've wondered that too. I saw a recent pic of Isaac Wright (Bran) and he's aged so much since season 3. Kid is 14 heading on 15 and looks like he'll be 6" tall not too soon from now.

FWIW I actually think the show did well with aging up the actors and Martin should've made then older in his books from the get go. It certainly makes things less weird since the show actors are older and I picture them when I read the books. Plus the book characters act a lot older than their ages anyway.

The only one of the main children who acted her age was Sansa, and that didn't last for long really since Sansa grew up quickly. It's really hard to believe that Bran, Arya, Robb, Dany, and especially Jon are the ages they are in the books.

You Scored as Eddard Stark

You are Eddard Stark. King of the North (this is wrong, it's Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North), you are very honorable and a loyal friend. However, this kindness and nobility, although admirable qualities, may end up hurting you in the long run.
