Do you have a favourite book character?

[Aella]

Well, since somebody already mentioned Harry Potter, I'll be terribly lowbrow in my literary references and say Severus Snape. No other fictional character has fascinated me quite as much.

My favourite characters are Henry Winter from the secret history novel and Elphaba (aka the wicked witch of the west) from wicked: life and times of the wicked witch of the west.

Don't know which character I hate really, but I did get annoyed with some lass called "fern" in the book I've just read - three junes.

Me too! Actually I love Poirot especially.

Atticus Finch is a good one, too, McJag.

I fell in love with--really had a big crush on--Ezra Tull from Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. I'm still looking for my Ezra.

same here, love harry and snape. and hermione.
but my absolute favourite harry potter character is sirius. from the very first description of him i was hooked. and it wasn't long before i developed a total crush on him. *sigh*

also agree with whoever said holly golightly and atticus finch.

I love Matilda from Roald Dahl's book, "Matilda." I also like Vivi Abbott Walker from "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" and Hermione from "Harry Potter."

And, these are really cheesy, but I loved Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield from the Sweet Valley series. I think it was because there were SO many books about them, going from 2nd grade to college, so I felt I could really identify with them.

oooh, i forgot the ones from my kid books. i loved ramona from the judy blume books but also pretty much all the lead characters in the paula danziger books and of course jacob two-two. i love that book! and dandelion, fiver and hazel from watership down.

After finishing Kushiel's Justice, I love Imriel de la Courcel even more than before. He's so intriguing.

Easy Walsh in the It Girl, i love him.
