At the very beginning of the first book Jon and Robb are the same age -14, Sana 11, Arya 9, Bran 7, and Rickon 3. I'm not surprised they have all been aged up - working with child actors is challenging, and the situations that the older children get put into kinda requires that they be played by legal adults. I was reading that book knowing a tv show was coming thinking that there was NO WAY Rickon could stay that young. A 3 year old on set having to say scripted lines? Good luck. Arya couldn't be aged too much, she still has to be clearly pre-pubescent.
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been
listening.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Other shows manage it, though. I mean, I can see why you don't want to bother, but it's hardly unheard of. And you barely see the character.
I was confused by the aging up of Jon, because I was just reading the whole "are you sure you want to make this sacrifice?" bit where he's giving up what he doesn't know anything about. This Jon? Has totally tapped ass.

Because books.
Have we ever seen Rickon?

I may be projecting from the books, but I do feel we have.
No, I got no citations.

Because books.
There are so many people in so many of the Winterfell scenes, it's hard to keep track.
I had no idea the older boys were supposed to be so much younger. I had read that Dany was thirteen in the books, though.

Just when I think I've caught up with the reading it's clear I haven't gotten far enough.
