* At the Red Wedding, [[spoiler: Robb's wife is present and killed off when she didn't go in the books and lived.]] This fits with two changes - the first is that Jeyne was a minor character in the books but was replaced with a recurring presence called Talisa. [[spoiler: Jeyne disappears from the narrative after the event, so simply writing Talisa out would be anti-climactic (and with a more outspoken personality than Jeyne, she'd be unlikely to take the murder of her husband, mother-in-law and bannermen so lightly). Secondly, the backstories are different; Jeyne is the daughter of a minor Lannister nobleman, and so is given a royal pardon after the wedding. Talisa is an exiled Volantis noblewoman with no strong political allies, so the Freys had little to lose by killing her. Additionally, as the TV series couldn't develop all the side characters who get killed at the wedding, Talisa being killed off creates a third major character death to help sell the tragedy of it.]]

* Special swords, such as Oathkeeper and Lightbriner, the swords of Brienne and Stannis respectively, are pretty normal looking, probably due to the expense of having the swords having flashy effects, such as Oathkeepers rippling black and red blade or Lightbringer being almost blindingly, but coldly bright, not being worth the CGI they would require.

* Cersei and Jaime looked nearly identical as children, and their differences as adults would be largely their different adult physiques. This actually has important effects on Cersei's development, as being mistaken for her brother as a child (she and Jaime would make a game of dressing up as each other) made her experience first-hand the difference of being perceived as male or female in Westeros and helped shape her world-view. However, good luck finding a good actor and actress who look nearly identical and are available to cast.

Sansa never kneels at all in the book


* At Sansa’s wedding to Tyrion in the books, Sansa takes a long time to kneel for Tyrion’s sake, but since we can hear her thoughts and hear how confused and sad she is she remains sympathetic. Since we can’t hear her thoughts on TV, taking as long a time would make her come off as rude or selfish, so she kneels much faster.

* The books often deliver character development and exposition in narration or internal monologue, so the show must find creative ways to deliver the information in dialogue, such as Littlefinger telling his backstory to his prostitutes, Tyrion detailing his first marriage during a drinking game, or Davos and Stannis having AsYouKnow conversations about their past.
