10 year old actress/dancer Octavia Alexandru's
résumé reveals that she'll be playing "the Child of The Forest" in the fourth season of HBO's
Game Of Thrones. Fans of the source novels will know that this means she'll likely be playing 'Leaf', who Bran and his companions encounter in the fifth book of the series,
A Dance With Dragons. Clearly this, along with the casting of the Three Eyed Raven, means that they'll be jumping straight on to the events of that book where Bran is concerned, as his character doesn't feature in
A Feast For Crows. The Children Of The Forest are a legendary people of Westeros, strange elf-like creatures that appear childlike but are actually quite old.
