1/7 Jon Snow
] The big reveal of Game of Thrones' penultimate season Jon Snow's parenting, namely that he is not the bastard of Ned Stark but the legitimate spawn Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryan. Whilst most viewers have been preoccupied with the ickiness of this revelation being juxtaposed against the image of the Daenerys (now revealed to be his aunt), the fact is that he now has the most claim to the Iron Throne. Certainly he has a better claim than his dad's sister, to whom he is just sworn fealty (not to mention things that would make the Pitcairn Islanders blush). Jon's biggest issue is that he still does not know how to behave, and the only two characters who are his pal Sam Tarly and his irritating younger brother Bran. Can such an undynamic duo get this crucial information to Jon before it's too late?

2/7 Daenerys Targaryan
Up until the end of the last series any fan theories) it seemed like Daenerys was fated to end up ruling the Seven Kingdoms. George R. R. Martin's series is, after all, called A Song of Ice and Fire, and where the chilling element of that could be applied to Jon Snow or the horde of frigid zombies, it's long been that Dany brought the titular heat. She has a seemingly unstoppable quest for the crown, which is one of the most controversial in the world.

3/7 Cersei Lannister
Cersei is the only villain to survive from episode one to the final season, so credit to her for that. She has already lost her more pragmatic siblings – Tyrion and Jaime – to the anti-apocalypse cause, and her plan for the endgame seems to involve double-crossing the alliance heading to deal with the zombie threat. It's just one of the worst things to do for the night, and it's not a man (?) Who looks like he'd care a lot about the Lannisters' credit rating.
HBO
4/7 Arya Stark / Sansa Stark / Bran Stark
The Survival of the Younger Stark Children make you feel better sorry for poor Rickon (why oh why did not he zigzag ?!), who suffered the indignity of never having a real character before he was dispatched. The reality is that none of the Starks really fancy taking the crown and moving to King's Landing. They love the North, where you get to wear long coats and growl ominous warnings at soft southerners. The best case scenario for Bran is that he gets to live in a castle, not a tree (or the Night King's body, see fan theories for further details), and, for Sansa, that bizarrely coveted wardenship of the North looks more like it has her name on it. Arya is something of an agent of chaos, and it's hard to know what, undoubtedly pivotal, role she will yet play, but – and do prove me wrong Arya – it's hard to see her chatting with the Small Council.
HBO
5/7 The Night King
Could the Night King be the leading leader that Westeros so desperately needs? It would be fitting that they would be willingly taken away from them, and then they would be ready to go to bed with them, to go out with the nihilistic bang of the Night King, astride undead Viserion, perched on the Red Keep. He is the man to watch if the showrunners decide that they want to go full metaphor.
HBO
6/7 Dark Horses
There are some characters – Varys, Jorah, Theon, and Yara Greyjoy – who will probably play a significant role in the climactic drama, but without any chance of ending up in the hot seat. A better bet might be Gendry, aka the hot ironmonger from Skins, who has the strongest Baratheon claim to the throne. Other major characters like Brienne, Bronn, Davos, and Gray Worm will be knocking about (but they are given in the truncated series) but are subjects, not rulers. Euron Greyjoy has to meet a sticky end at some point, because he's fully evil and also very misjudged as a character. My outside bet, for the connoisseurs, is Beric Dondarrion, the priest of the Lord of Light, who has seemingly survived the breach of the Eastwatch ice zombies.
7/7 Verdict
For my own part, I'd like to see a Ministry of All the Talents in King's Landing, with Arya bossing the Kingsguard, Yara on Naval Duty, Davos in Charge of Law and Order (Justice, Flea Bottom Style), Bronn overseeing the treasury (who better than a sellsword?), and Varys back as spymaster. If Robert, Joffrey and Tommen – the Baratheon kings – have taught us anything, it's possible to be in office but not in power. When the ice thaws, I hope to see the game of Thrones' multifaceted characters – if they make it out alive, that is.

1/7 Jon Snow
The Big Revival of Game of Thrones (The Twilight of the Dead) was the truth of Jon Snow's parentage, namely, that he is not the bastard of Ned Stark but the legitimate spawn of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryan.

This is the true Targaryen heir, but it's also quite clear that it wears the dragon-riding slacks in their relationship.
