PLEASE NOTE: This question is not a dupe, because it takes into account more information from the latest episode of Game of Thrones.
GoT Season 6, Episode 5 ("The Door") revealed to us how the Night's King was created:
The Children of the Forest somehow weaponized him (an ordinary man) by pinning him to a Weirwood Tree and stabbing him with some kind of magical stone dagger. Hence, he was created as a weapon to stop the Andals + First Men from taking any more land from the Children.
But in the books, the Night's King is transformed after making love to a mysterious woman with pale skin and blue eyes.
So I ask: is the HBO series' take on the Night's King origin story now completely deviating from the books, or is there still a connection between what we saw in Episode 5 and the theories/information already extracted/interpolated from the books?
