Anybody notice the change in the opening credits and the graphics used to show The Wall. Here it is at the end of season 6 This is The Wall during season 7. The sea next to The Wall is now frozen. Looks like the White Walkers can just walk around The Wall now. Yup, I saw threads about this with these two screens. That would be lovely and have so much sense, but I checked openings for E1 and 2 and in my version (HBO GO Poland, but first ep I watched live,as there's also this option in it) there's no trace of frozen see. Regular blue. Check yours if you can, cause I think it may be simply some blurred screen here

I don't think it's frozen. It's just the reflection of the light or something similar. Firstly there's lots of sea areas with whiter patches (like near Pyke when the camera goes down towards Oldtown), and secondly on the shot going towards the Wall there's not a hint of ice; the water's all blue. This is just a case of taking a screenshot at the right time. Maybe it was just updated this way because they want to keep getting across the idea that winter is here and it's colder, but I doubt they'd reveal such a supposedly big plot point in the opening sequence of the first episode.
It's clearer in motion:

I've seen articles speculating about the frozen sea on the intro map too, so it's not just us wondering about it - it's definitely some small change happening there. Maybe it's to hint or suggest that things are starting to freeze over...
@fatherofdragons - I watched the intro again in the video you linked and when the camera first moves northward from Winterfell to the wall, the sea to the east does still appear greenish/blue and water, but after the wall does it's little animation and the camera pulls back again, that's when you see the area to the east is now all white and fuzzy looking as if it's frozen or snowy. It could just be a glitch but as pointed out, I don't think that's the way it was in previous season sequences.

It's clearer in motion: I thought it could just snow blowing over the lake or maybe the lake is frozen a little bit. Enough for snow to collect but not thick enough for a wright army to march across. However, Bran's vision in the 1st episode I thought looked like the wright army was marching over frozen water. Although I don't even know if I want this to happen. With all the talk of horns of winter, breaking spells, waking the giants and at the end all it takes for the NK to cross is a frozen lake. That would be pretty lame. We will see.

It's just a reflection of some sort. White patches are visible on the water all the time, in different locations. If it was intended to represent frozen water then it would have looked like that when the camera is travelling towards the Wall too, not just when it's moving away.

I actually think it would be stupid if the water didn't freeze its winter, magic winter, near the Arctic, so some water should freeze. One way or another the Night King has to cross some frozen water. Frozen salt water if you follow the books. The Wights and Dothraki have to cross the same thing that has kept them out of Westeros, Frozen salt water. Ocean or the wall it makes no difference, it's frozen water either way.
