"Warning: This article contains spoilers that some readers may prefer to avoid. Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams has hit out at &amp;quot;snobby&amp;quot; fans of George RR Martin&amp;#039;s original novels.  Williams told TVLine that she dislikes &amp;quot;mean&amp;quot; book readers who spoil the series for fans who have only seen the HBO TV series. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m so sick of going on the internet and seeing all the book readers being snobby, spoiling it for other people - then saying, &amp;#039;Well, it&amp;#039;s not a spoiler. The books have been out for years&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; the actress said. &amp;quot;Like, couldn&amp;#039;t you just stop being mad for a second and let other people enjoy the show? They feel they have a claim on the series because they read the books first, and I understand that, but they don&amp;#039;t need to be mean about it.&amp;quot;  Aficionados of Martin&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;A Song of Ice and Fire&amp;#039; franchise were recently left frustrated when Lady Stoneheart - a zombified version of Catelyn Stark - failed to materialise on the TV series. &amp;quot;That was a massive deal, but honestly, I really like [the backlash],&amp;quot; Williams said. &amp;quot;Book readers think they know what&amp;#039;s coming, then we change it and it&amp;#039;s really funny to watch their reactions. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re always like, &amp;#039;That&amp;#039;s not what happened in the books, so the show&amp;#039;s really bad now&amp;#039; - but really, they just feel insecure because they&amp;#039;re used to knowing what&amp;#039;s coming next.&amp;quot; Game of Thrones will return to HBO and to Sky Atlantic in the UK in 2015. Game of Thrones star says book twist won&amp;#039;t happen: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s impossible&amp;quot; How should spoilers be punished? The Game of Thrones cast pick their punishments:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
