Top Ten Most Memorable Secondary Characters
I loved this topic! For some reason it's always more minor characters that tend to stick in my brain after finishing a book. Anyway, here's my Top
Neville Longbottom & Luna Lovegood - Harry Potter
I have four characters I love from Harry Potter, Neville and Luna are two of them and the other appear further down my list. I love Neville, in fact Harry Potter could quite easily have been about him given the similarities in their lives. I love Luna for no other reason than that's she's slightly off the wall, a bit like me!
Pam - Sookie Stackhouse
Fritz - Black Dagger Brotherhood series
Everyone needs a Fritz, he is the one person that keeps the Brothers going but never gets in on any of the action. If they were to make a television show of BDB I have absolutely no idea who would play Fritz but as a nice twist it should be someone devilishly handsome and distinguished, shame George probably wouldn't be up for it...
The Librarian - Discworld
It's not his fault he's in a permanent bad mood, he never asked to be turned into an Orangutan! In my top ten list of favorite Discworld characters, because he's a Librarian!
Mary and Kitty Bennett - Pride & Prejudice
Let's face it, the entire novel centers around the two oldest and the youngest - middle children always get left out! I'd like to know more about Mary and Kitty, and what happened to them after their elder sisters advantageous marriages.
Cinna - The Hunger Games
Fred and George Weasley - Harry Potter
Because who doesn't love these two? I prefer them in their floppy hair phase rather than their just left school look but they add much needed humor to some sad occasions...
Seth - Twilight
This will be one of very few occasions where I willingly mention Twilight and an even rarer occasion that I mention one of the wolves! I like Twilight, I didn't/don't like the wolves but Seth stuck out because he seemed one of the most genuine characters in the whole series with no hidden agenda or weird need to kill Bella.
Death of Rats and Quoth the Raven - Discworld
The only aspect of Death that is allowed to have a separate existence officially sanctioned by Death. I suppose only being able to communicate through other people's minds has to do something with it, along with the fact the Grim Squeaker only has three words in his vocabulary... Quoth the Raven is his constant companion and occasional transport, a nod to Poe automatically makes him a favorite!
Who are your favorite secondary characters? Leave me links as I'd love to know!
Great TTT idea! I love the inclusion of Cinna. I absolutely love his character.
ReplyDeleteMe too, thanks for stopping by!
DeleteNice list! Harry Potter books have a lot of great secondary characters, I got Fred and George on my list, but Neville, Luna or Snape would deserve it too!
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday.
I was going to include Snape too but thought my list was already quite heavy on Harry Potter characters!
DeleteThanks for stopping by :)
I wish I had included Cinna, he's such a great character, and even if I was opposite of you - I was scared to watch the movie because Lenny was playing him (although I'm a HUGE fan of his) - and I ended up loving him even more.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
It was his voice I could hear as I read the books so I was pretty chuffed when they cast him and I'm a huge fan too!
DeleteThanks for stopping by :)
You have listed so many of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteHere's my list of best secondary book characters.
Oh Cinna! Lenny Kravitz as Cinna was definitively one of my favourite things about the film I have to say... great choices!
ReplyDeleteThanks for including Seth from the Twilight Saga! Your description of him made me laugh. I included Jacob on my list, but most other Twilight characters annoy me.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
