How did Bran mess up Hodor?

In the book, Hodor has stolen one of the old swords from the crypt. Bran has been warging into Hodor and practicing with his body, because Bran had been trained in swordplay. So telling Hodor to “hold the door” is more like “hold this pass” – defend it when enemies are coming – and Hodor is fighting and killing them.

How did Bran affect Hodor in the past?

So Bran wargs into Hodor — but crucially, he does it while he’s still observing the past. So by seizing control of Hodor’s mind in the present, just before his death, Bran screwed up his mind decades in the past. Bran created Hodor as we’ve known him on the show. Bran is responsible for the destruction of Hodor’s mind.

Is Bran a cannibal?

Bran was purposefully introduced to cannibalism during his trek to the Cave of the Three-Eyed Crow, culminating with the consumption of Jojen’s blood during the ‘weirwood paste’ ceremony.

Was Bran controlling Hodor when he died?

No it doesn’t. Although Bran was responsible for the whole chain of events that killed Hodor, Hodor didn’t have to hold that door. He wasn’t being warged into at that stage. It was Meera who asked him to hold the door, it wasn’t Bran.

Is Hodor dead in the books?

At the end of the last-published book, Bran is still in the North with Hodor, Meera, and the Three-Eyed Raven. “So telling Hodor to ‘hold the door’ is more like ‘hold this pass’ — defend it when enemies are coming — and Hodor is fighting and killing them,” Martin said in “Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon.”

Is Bran Stark evil in the books?

No, not at all. All characters in ASOIAF have elements of dark and light in them. Bran does as well, but even his questionable actions do not come anywhere near close to some of the dark things other characters have done. I don’t think anything he has done foreshadow him being more evil than other characters.
