This isn't Dawson Casting. Dawson Casting is where an actor plays a character who is significantly younger than the actor. What's happened here is that the characters themselves have been made older.
Deleted line(s) 22,23 (click to see context) :
* DawsonCasting: All the major young characters are being aged up. This is a necessary evil, considering the amount of underage sex that goes on in the story, as well as the amount of screentime that will inevitably fall on the young actors' shoulders. Kit Harington at 22 is set to play Jon, and the actress formerly in line to play Dany was around the same age.
** Partially averted by the TV series taking place in a slightly different continuity, with Jon aged up to 17 and Dany up to 15. The author has said he now wishes he'd made all the younger characters at least a few years older, as the books have not covered as much time as he originally envisaged they would (two years as opposed to the seven he thought the first four books would cover) and the characters' young ages are problematic.
