A large boy, with an actor who is 10-12 but playing 7 or 8. He’s described as “a clever boy” who seems too large for his age. He’s big and tall but not fat. “Characterful squat features” are a plus for this part. it’s specified that this is a one-time appearance.

12 year old boy, with brown hair and blue eyes. He needs to use a Northern accent. He has scenes where he has to spar with a wooden sword.
The length of the role isn’t specified.

7 year old boy with dark brown hair, a narrow face and green eyes. He also has a Northern accent. He also spars with the wooden sword, so it’s safe to assume it’s the same scene. This role is similarly open-ended, the description only stating that the character is being ‘introduced.’


So I am the only one thinking this is straight Knight of the Laughing Tree? Brandon, Ned, and Howland would be my guess. Could be a lead up to the reveal of Jon's parentage. Might just be wishful thinking on my part.

The problem with that is their ages. 7 & 12 years old seem too young for that story.

That's what I immediately thought, but were they friends with Howland when they were young?

a 12 year old (1 time appearance)
a 7-8 year old (length not specified)
a 7 year old (character being introduced)

Brandon, ned, benjen

Brandon, ned, howland

Robert, ned, howland

theon, rob, jon

hodor, ned, Brandon

?

Clever Boy could be said in jest and this could be Hodor. Not sure who that makes the others though. Would think Brandon and Ned and could just be Bran's first vision.
