"Game Of Thrones author George R. R. Martin has revealed that he expects some fans to be upset with HBO&amp;#039;s upcoming adaptation of the show. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Martin explained that most devotees of his A Song Of Ice and Fire books will be pleased with the series. &amp;quot;I think 95% of them are going to love the show,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I do think there will be a small minority who will be very upset by changes. &amp;#039;How come my favourite scene wasn&amp;#039;t in the show?&amp;#039; &amp;#039;How come this character&amp;#039;s hair is blond and not black?&amp;#039; But they will be a small minority.&amp;quot; Martin also revealed that he is looking forward to finding out whether people who have not read the books will enjoy the series. &amp;quot;I have millions of fans, but there are many, many more millions who watch HBO, who watch television, who don&amp;#039;t read fantasy, and certainly haven&amp;#039;t read my books,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s what we&amp;#039;re looking forward to, hoping we please that whole new audience. There&amp;#039;s a tremendous amount of excitement. Every time HBO releases a new piece of information or photograph, the blogs explode with excitement.&amp;quot; Martin has previously described HBO&amp;#039;s adaptation of his novels as &amp;quot;spectacular&amp;quot;. Game Of Thrones begins on April 17 on HBO in the US and on April 18 on Sky Atlantic in the UK. &amp;gt; Sean Bean teases &amp;#039;Game Of Thrones&amp;#039; arc Watch the first 15 minutes of Game Of Thrones below:   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
