It sounds like HBO is looking for someone to play a commoner, possibly in King’s Landing. Over the show’s six seasons, many a gap-toothed man and woman has been seen in the crowds, crushing each other to get a look at a member of the royal family.
Next, we have a call for a wee baby.
"CASTING CALL: MIXED RACE NEWBORN BABYWe are currently casting for a mixed race newborn baby that is under 10lb’s in weight.CRITERIA FOR APPLICATIONS:1.

Obviously, Extas NI is no longer taking submissions for this role.
A mixed race newborn baby could be a Dothraki child, or we could see a continuation of Bran’s vision of Jon’s birth in the Tower of Joy. Perhaps we’ll see Ned carry little Jon Snow back to Winterfell?
Season 7 will be shorter than usual, and I’m honestly not sure where a baby would fit into the story. What do you guys think?
