Dany's baby dragon is NOT a baby anymore in the latest Game of Thrones season seven photos.

The Targaryen queen can be seen leading her troops into battle on the back of her beloved dragon Drogon, who is now twice the size of last season and capable of destroying pretty much anything in his path with his fire-breathing:

Daenerys set off with her armies from Meereen at the end of the sixth season for her final march towards taking back the Iron Throne. It will be tough to stop her, unless she crosses the Night King and his undead horde for an ultimate collision of ice and fire.

Entertainment Weekly has also shared several other photos from the upcoming episodes, including Jon Snow on horseback either coming or going from Winterfell, as well as Cersei and Jaime plotting in King's Landing.

Expectations are sky high for the penultimate Game of Thrones season, especially after cast member Iain Glen (aka Ser Jorah Mormont) promised "the best seven episodes" in the show's history.

"The story is going toward a conclusion," Iain added. "There's no sense of treading water. You have storylines colliding. And the evolving drama and relationships are as good as they have ever been.

"It definitely feels like the beginning of the end game."
