7. The Dragons

Ice and fire. The dragon has three heads. Dragonriders. Everything we've seen and heard about Daenerys' dragons points to them being absolutely crucial to the series' endgame: Westeros' great hope against the coming tide of White Walkers.

And all that is true. Drogon, the biggest of the bunch, is approaching Balerion the Black Dread size, and should be a major presence in Seasons 7 and 8. But what about his younger brothers, Viserion and Rhaegal? They've had much less time on the show, and it would be a very interesting twist and massive subversion of expectations if one of them were to die before Season 8. And that's the kind of thing that's right up Thrones' street, while it frees up budget to make the the other two bigger. The whole 'three heads' thing has long seemed pretty crucial though, so it's a hell of a thing to upset now.

Prediction: Drogon lives, but one of his brothers could well die
