HBO's "Game of Thrones" naturally has to make some changes from the books when adapting them to a television show. That's the nature of the medium.Business Insider has previously compiledthe biggest plot changesfrom the books to the show, including how Tyrion Lannisterlooks quite differenton the small screen.However, as July and the hotly anticipated season sevenapproach, we've also rounded up30 differences (in no particular order) that you might not have noticed unless you've really read the books carefully.Warning: There are book and show spoilers in this post so read at your own risk.Here are the differences between the "Game of Thrones" books and show you may not have noticed:SEE ALSO:HBO just unveiled a peek at 15 new character looks for 'Game of Thrones' season 7Everyone's favorite sellsword Daario Naharis looks way different in the books as opposed to the show.In the the books Daario Naharis is much more flamboyant, taking after his Tyroshi roots. The Tyroshi are known for dyeing their hair bright colors and wearing bright clothes. Daariois described in the novel"A Storm of Swords" as having a blue trident beard and bright blue, long hair, with a gold mustache and one gold tooth. While both Ed Skrein and Michiel Huisman have done an outstanding job of playing the character in seasons three and four through six, respectively, they aren't exactly what George R.R. Martin had in mind.Missandei isn't having an almost-romance with Grey Worm any time soon in the books, because she's only 10!Daenarys refers to Missandei often in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series as her "little scribe," because the girl is so small. When she's introduced in the show during season three, she appears to be much older. Her age is unconfirmed in the show, but you can take your own guesses based on her picture here. Also the slavers of Astapor offer her with no prompting in the book "A Storm of Swords." In the show during season three, Daenerys demands they give her Missandei (as a gift).Mance Rayder is still alive in the books, kind of, despite being burned alive on the show. Well, he's mostly alive. He was still burned at the stake.In the book "A Dance with Dragons" andin season five of the show, Mance Rayder is burned alive at the stake. But, in the book, Melisandre does some red-priestess magic to switch Mance Rayder and the Lord of Bones' (aka Rattleshirt's) body. You remember the Lord of Bones, right' He wore... bones... lots of them. Anyways, Stanniswanted to burnMance Rayder, but Melisandrethought Mance Rayder would still be useful later on, so she wanted to keep his soul alive. She clearly didn't share the same thoughts about the Lord of Bones. It's really quite complicated and you should read "A Dance with Dragons" to get a full description of it but for right now: Mance = alive, Rattleshirt = dead.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
