New set photos offer glimpse of Winterfell

Some new set pics of Castle Ward have emerged, sent to us by WiC reader Paula. These are some of the best set pics we’ve received to date. They show some very large and detailed sets, augmented by the existing castle and green screens. Parts of the sets are identical to the shots we had from Castle Ward during the pilot shoot and they also match up with some of the footage from the behind-the-scenes video (talking in particular about the direwolf relief). But it looks like they’ve really expanded the whole set to make a sprawling castle courtyard for Winterfell. Follow us after the break to see the pics!

Winter Is Coming: The thing I love about seeing these pics are noticing all the details that you might not even see but for a second on screen. They seem to have made the direwolf sigil very present in Winterfell, with the etching on the wall, the wooden direwolf head on the roof and even a full-blown direwolf statue in the archway. Very cool.
