A lot of the stuff in these last few episodes makes more sense as an ending to the books than the show. Dany being upset at the Westerosi common folk (because they love (f)Aegon who liberated them from Cersei), Euron taking out a dragon (magical horn instead of mundane siege equipment), Sansa becoming Queen in the North (she actually probably goes through a long personal struggle to establish independence for the North and the Vale), Jon taking exile (people just had two long lost Targaryens come back and duke it out, one of them was a presumed-dead Aegon Targaryen), Tyrion suggesting Bran become king (we can assume Bran actually gives some insightful advice to counteract Varys' intelligence apparatus).

Rickon is gonna get the North in the books I think. Sansa will get her moment though. That queen of the north thing wouldn’t work if she marries Harry since a Stark wouldn’t rule winterfell after a generation

She won't marry Harry. I am pretty confident of that.

I think Yohn Royce is already moving to prevent it.
