While most "Game Of Thrones" Season 7 excitement is focused on the meeting between Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and the King Of The North, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) in Westeros, the attack of the White Walkers is an inevitability that hangs over every "GoT" fan's head. "Game Of Thrones" fans may then find use in being warned that the Night King (Richard Brake) may be Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright), who leads the White Walkers through The Wall.
In "Game Of Thrones" Season 6, Bran Stark and the Night King seemingly became connected for the first time during a self-induced vision. In the "Game Of Thrones Season 6 episode, the Night King sensed Bran Stark watching him lead Wights and White Walkers.
scratch that, nothing will prepare you for this

The Night King then grabbed Bran Stark by the arm, turning the "Game Of Thrones" character into an exile outside The Wall. As "Game Of Thrones" fans well know, the Night King could see and follow wherever Bran Stark went from that point on.

The Week cites a "Game Of Thrones" theory that says the Night King and Bran Stark are the same person. The media outlet recalls how Old Nan of Winterfell used to insist that the Night King is a Stark.
Bran Stark grew up with stories by Old Nan on how the Night King came to be leading the White Walkers. "Game Of Thrones" fans are aware that George R.R. Martin indicated in "A Song Of Ice And Fire" (ASOIF) saga that the first White Walker was a human turned by the Children Of The Forest.
In this "Game Of Thrones" theory, quip by George R.R. Martin in ASOIF that Old Nan is so old that she has mixed up all the Brandon Stark of history inside her memories may not be the full story. The "Game Of Thrones" theory proposes that Old Nan may actually be telling the truth about the Night King being a Stark.
Perhaps, the touch of the Night King in "Game Of Thrones" Season 6 was a symbolic awakening of who Bran Stark really was. An attack by the White Walkers on Westeros is one of the dreaded "Game Of Thrones" predictions for S7.
Parent Herald cites a separate "Game Of Thrones" theory that Bran Stark could be the Lord Of Light. But if this "Game Of Thrones" theory is it, then Bran Stark as the Night King and the leader of the White Walkers is danger rather than savior for Westeros.
The HBO premiere of "Game Of Thrones" Season 7 anticipated for 2017. Do you believe "Game Of Thrones" Season 7 will reveal Bran Stark to be the Night King?
