LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- Bran Stark will be older and much taller in Game of Thrones Season 6. English actor Isaac Hempstead Wright, 16, who has portrayed the character since season 1, returns as Bran in the Jan. 15 issue of Entertainment Weekly. Wright, who is now 6 feet tall, sports short hair and is seen riding beyond the Wall in the photo.

Wright played Bran on seasons 1 through 4, but was not featured on Season 5. He was last seen in the Season 4 finale with the mystical Three-Eyed Raven (Struan Rodger), who will be replaced by The Seventh Seal actor Max von Sydow in Season 6.
"I can't say a lot but I am back this season, and it's going to get particularly interesting with Bran," Wright told the Irish Examiner in July. "He has some interesting visions."
Game of Thrones is based on the A Song of Ice and Fire book series by George R.R. Martin, and will return for Season 6 in April 2016. The fantasy drama was named the most pirated show of 2015 this week, topping TorrentFreak's list for a fourth consecutive year.
Natalie Dormer is among the other actors who will return for Season 6, reprising Margaery Tyrell. The 33-year-old English actress recently told The Late Late Show Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) will be "the least" of Margaery's problems on the new season.
