The casting for a young Cercei was on point

[laracroftvideos]

"Then comes another... younger, more beautiful, to cast you down and take all you hold dear"
Bran is the ultimate Queen 😂

[wickedwitchoftheeast]

This actress did good she really captured Cersei's self entitlement and arrogance to a tea!

[dragonmcmx]

I thought the actress did not fit Cersei at all. Until I reached 0:27. The way she says "Tell me my future, or I'll have your two boring eyes gouged out of your head." was amazing. That's the Cersei I know.

[kikecolunge]

I love this. Cersei always wanted to avoid this prophecy and after everything she did, the new queen burried her with her own castle.

[RollTide]

Cersei thought the prophecy pertained to Margaery Tyrell, which is why she had her marginalized, imprisoned, and eventually killed. I wonder how soon into season seven she'll realize that Margaery wasn't the queen the witch was referring to in the prophecy.

[pyromania]

Cersei: "Only three?"
Maggy: "That's one."
Cersei: "What?!"
Maggy: "That's two."
Cersei: "Why can't you make sense, you damned witch?!"
Maggy: "That's three. Get out."

[actually_curious]

just noticed how good the young actress is, she does Cersei's arrogance perfectly and she even mimics Lena Headey's intonations at some point

[SavageDragon]

Apparently Cersei has a brother named Ser Bricks of House Castle.

[wendellferrari]

The prophecy was right. 3 kids, none of them from the king. She was pregnant on season 8 but died before the fourth. She was Queen for a while, and now comes another, younger and more beautiful (Daenerys or Sansa).

[robertvysther]

I like the way the witch handled that knife.

[earthlingcrusader]

"..with cat's teeth and THREE EYES.."

Anyone else think of the THREE-EYED raven when she said that? 
Especially how following the "witch" said "You don't know WHAT I am".

[anjelica]

I just realized “Gold, their shrouds” doesn’t just refer to the fact the children would be buried in Lannister gold/colors, it refers to the Lannister machine itself as what killed them.

[paul_rymar]

Watching this
Audience: doesn't look much like Cersei, she's-
Mini Cersei: Tell me my future or I'll have your boring eyes gouched out of your head 2:19
Audience: yeah ok, that's Cersei

[RobertRby]

This is a rare sight indeed: Queen Calanthe and Queen Cersei in the same scene people

[morkhan]

She's laughing because she foresaw the ending of the show.

[vixreadsalot]

- 'You'll never wed the Prince, you'll wed the King' - Cersei was betrothed to Rhaegar (the Prince) but married the King (Robert)
- 'Oh yes, you'll be Queen for a time, then comes another younger, more beautiful to cast you down and take all you hold dear' - Could be multiple people, likely Sansa, as she is indirectly responsible for Joffrey's death (take all you hold dear), and Brienne (Sansa's shield), is responsible for taking Jaime. Also, Sansa (if it goes by the show), tells Tyrion about Jon, seeing the downfall of Dany and thus the downfall of Cersei.
- 'The King will have 20 children, and you 3' The Kings bastards, Joffrey, Mycrella and Tommen.
- 'Gold will be their crowns, gold their shrouds' Joffrey - King, Mycrella - Princess, Tommen - King, all die.

Then it misses out the part of the prophecy in the books.
'And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you' Valonqar means little brother in High Valyrian, many suspect Tyrion, but will likely be Jaime (he is the younger twin).

In the books Maggy the Frog is proven right, Cersei's friend asks her if she'll marry Jaime, and the witch says, 'Not Jaime, nor any other man, Worms will have your maidenhead. Your death is here tonight, little one. Can you smell her breath? She is very close' Her friend was Melara Hetherspoon, she fell down a well and died not longer after, some speculate Cersei pushed her so she could never tell anyone bout the prophecy.

[DvlQ]

Maggy also foretells that she will die at the hands of the valonqar, which is High Valyrian for "little brother." Cersei assumes this to be Tyrion, one of the reasons she harbors such animosity towards the smallest Lannister, or maybe this refers to Jaime. They're twins, she was born first. That's why Cersei hates Tyrion so much, not only because their mother died at his birth, because this prophecy.. She expects him to kill her but I think eventually Jaime to do that :)

[danielwilliamson]

One of Game of Throne's best scenes and it helped to further develop Cersei Lannister as a character.

[TheMadamSuccess]

Finally, Calanthe discovered the magical power inherited from her mother 😂
