The BFG
The BFG is just about the nicest giant you'll ever meet. I think I've met him once, I'm not entirely sure. It might have been another wrinkly faced giant with large ears, short pants and a vuvuzela-like dream blower.
Albus Dumbledore
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. When I think of him it is like thinking of an old friend or mentor. He is the epitome of goodness.
Gollum/Smeagol
He personifies everyone's struggle between good and evil, between wanting to do the right thing but submitting to our own selfishness and pride. His debate with himself about Frodo's sincerity was one of the high points of the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. He was the character with the most, well, character.
Harry, Ron and Hermione
I had to put these three together! You couldn't have expected me to split them up! I read the Harry Potter books growing up and these three were like my best friends when I escaped into that world. We have a connection which I know a lot of other kids who read the books can relate to.
