It's so close, you can feel the heat of the dragons on the back of your neck. You can hear the clashing of swords in the distance as you lie awake at night, anxiously waiting for March 31. "Game of Thrones" has been everywhere during its final weeks leading up the premiere. It graced the cover of Entertainment Weekly, its trailer went viral on YouTube and the cast and crew have shared ample interviews and sneak peaks regarding the upcoming season. Based on what we've heard from them, season three should be the best yet.

Now, to further fuel the flame, HBO has released the season 3 character stills. The photos feature Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) and Osha the Wildling (Natalia Tena).
