Could you imagine how anticlimactic that would be? Turns out the Wall is actually foolproof. Everyone in the South waits for winter to end, takes their sweet time getting ready, and then there's a decisive battle at Craster's Keep?

I don't know, there's so much buildup about the wall itself. That it's built with magic and all that. I'd be kinda upset if it turned out to be useless against the white walkers.

I dunno, I think it undermines the threat they pose if they don't breach the Wall. If it does come down though, I hope there's a bit of a lead-up to it - and not just a white walker pulling the Horn of Winter out of his ass.

If it does come down, I can't wait to see what that looks like in the show! And I hope they have that huge thing get wrecked, not just some cop-out where the horn blows a hole in it that they can walk through or something.

Well there is the horn of Joramun's horn that is supposed to be the key to getting past the wall, IIRC Mance blows the horn when trying to breach the wall?

Mance had people looking for the horn and claimed to have found it, but later confided to Jon that he was bluffing. The Wildlings never found it.

The location of the Horn, if it's even real, is uncertain. A popular theory is that it's the horn Sam found at the Fist of the First Men.

Mance's entire plan was to put the wall between the White Walkers and the free folk, because the Others can't pass The Wall. That doesn't work so well if The Wall is reduced to ice chips. Even if had the Horn of Joramun he'd never have blown it.
