I love this question because I love fictional characters!
Here are my top five favorite fictional characters, in no particular order!
Mycroft Holmes
Specifically, the Mark Gatiss portrayal of Mycroft Holmes from the show Sherlock BBC!
#TeamMystrade
“All lives end, all hearts are broken. Caring is not an advantage, Sherlock”
10th & 14th Doctor
Doctor Who is one of my favorite shows — BAD WOLF — and though I love every Doctor, the 10th Doctor is my favorite. And if you know, you know… the 14th too!
“I’m burning up a sun just to say goodbye.”
Hannibal Lecter
Specifically, I’m talking about Mads Mikkelsen’s portrayal of Hannibal Lecter. Don’t get me wrong — I love Sir Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs! But Mads’ version wins out Sir Anthony’s for me.
Come on, who doesn’t love a good Hannibal and Will story, with a house full of dogs, all living their best lives together?
“If I saw you everyday forever, I would remember this time.”
Tom Riddle AKA Lord Voldemort
I often think we forget that Tom Riddle was once a scared boy who wasn’t given the tools he needed to grow into a healthy adult. He was intelligent, but people lied to him & treated him as second-class because he was a half-blood. What would you expect someone to do when everything was against them, and no one was on their side?
Dumbledore wasn’t on his side; he saw him as a threat. Instead of doing what an adult should — helping him — he alienated him & made him feel lesser. I don’t see Tom as a villain; I see him as someone society let down. There is good in everyone.
“I can make things move without touching them. I can make bad things happen to people that are mean to me. I can speak to snakes, too”
