Top 5 fictional characters of all time

This is a quick countdown of my favorite fictional characters of all time. Wether they be from a book, Tv show or film-my all time favorites are here: 
Starting the countdown, at number five: 


5) Euphegenia Doubtfire-Mrs. Doubtfire film
Robin William's best role, ever. He plays a divorced father, and the only way to see his kids is to get a job as their mum's housekeeper. To do that he need a house keeper disguise. He names the disguise Mrs. Doubtfire, and commence thousands of hilarious antics  :) Its amazing. If you haven't seen the movie, go buy it right now. Euphegina is hilariously funny and immensely quotable. "My first day as a woman and i'm already getting hot flashes!" (whilst on fire). 

4) Skulduggery Pleasant-Skulduggery Pleasant books 
Whats not to love about a skeleton detective, who is not only super smart, but also kicks-butt, has a fantastic fashion sense, amazing super powers, and is full of more hilarious and snappier remarks then Jace Wayland? The answer: Nothing.


3) Haymitch Abernathy-The Hunger Games books 
From the moment I met him I was head over heels about Haymitch. He's both the comic relief, and serious mentor. I love every thing about him, from his attitude to his backstory. Haymitch is amazing, and if he is not portrayed my Robert Downey Junior in the upcoming film, I will be devastated. 

Sue Sylvester-Glee TV series  
Amazing. Hilarious. Sensational. Brilliant. She should be at #1-I debated long and hard wether or not to put her there. The internationally respected cheerleading coach has me in stitched every time she opens her mouth, with her subtle humor and insults. For your enjoyment, here are some of my favorites: 
"I dont trust a man with curly hair. I can't help picturing small birds laying sulfurs eggs in there and I find it disgusting!" 
"I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love with that kitty cat. And then in some cold, dark night, I will steal away into your house and punch you in the face!"

Severus Snape-Harry Potter books/films
Is Snape not the greatest character ever? For the first three books we are convinced that he is pure and utter evil. Then in the fourth and fifth, we being to question him, change our judgment of him and even give him a second chance. Then in the sixth book, we detest him more then anyone else we have ever read about. Finally, at the end of the seventh book, after just one chapter of his life story-he is an all time favorite. We know why he did what he did, we find out about his lost love and how he was an ultra awesome double agent. I could write an essay about him. Dark, mysterious, deep, amazingly cool. We'll leave it at that. Severus Snape is a legend. My favorite character EVER!!!!

January Awards

Okay-so I noticed I picked up a few more followers recently :) Thank you for following! 
Anyway, I am borrowing this little feature from Amelia's blog: Imagination in Focus. Basically, its a summery of all the books I read in January: 




Books finished: Five
Favorite book: I am Number Four, with City of Bones at a very close second
Least  favorite book: Reckless
Favorite character: Isabelle Lightwood, City of Bones. If she was real, we would be the very best of friends :) I can tell.
Best villain: The Government in The Running Man 
Story world I wish I lived in: City of Bones
Best idea: The Running Man- a much darker, scarier and more thought through version of The Hunger Games 
Movie adaption I'd love to see: The Running Man-done correctly, this would be AMAZING! There is a movie version already, though the whole plot has been changed :(. 'City of Bones' would make a terrific film as well.
