I wouldn't read too much into the fact that he's not in it


As a rule - I don't. They remove Oakheart - no big deal. They combine Dornish princes - really, if they aren't going tell that part of the story - it is not a big loss. I recognize the casting budget - the relative unnecessity of Coldhands, for example (as he is not Benjen), or even LSH - to the broader plot strokes.

But, if the dragon truly has 3 heads and Young Griff(Aegon?) is going to be a player at the end, he will have to appear in the television show, wouldn't you agree?

Now, maybe he finally makes an appearance, with a slightly modified backstory explained in a little exposition by Varys to Tyrion and Dany - certainly that could be done, but I would think we would have some minor rumor about this character before.

Maybe not, but it would be weird if he is a big player in the book and completely absent in the show.

Again, 2 different mediums. One has mentioned the three headed dragon prophecy, the other I don't recall it ever being mentioned.

The show may not have any need at all for 3 heads to a dragon.

I agree with you; the dragon must have 3 heads. In the book and on the show.

I'm not ready to give up on Aegon's importance to the story just because of the show. He could simply be planned for season 6. I don't know what Aegon's endgame is going to be; BUT I think GRRM has been hiding this the Lost Dauphin since Book 1 and he must have a role to play in the fight for the Iron Throne.
