A few days ago I was tagged in a blog hop by Lisa Hope. Lisa’s post was about her ten favourite screen characters. Unfortunately I watch more tv and movies than I should and as a result of this, I have too many favourite characters. Therefore it is a nigh on impossible task to whittle them down to ten. So I thought I’d tweak it a bit and narrow down the scope to my ten favourite book characters to be brought to life on the screen. This is probably the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do, and there are so many characters I would love to have included – and I’m sure there will be many others to hit the screen in the future which will somehow wheedle their way into the top ten. I’d be interested to know people’s thoughts on my list, and to hear what people would have in their own top ten! So please feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section.
Now who shall I tag? I think I’m supposed to tag ten people, but I have another taggy post to do as well so I’ll just do five for this one. So here are the blogs I tag for my blog hop – check ’em out!
Julianne at Outlandish Lit
Matt at Wanton Creation (because I know you don’t have enough top ten stuff to do at the moment!!)
Kaitlin at KaitlinThrogmorton.com
Brett at BrettMichaelOrr.com
Aimee at AimeeMeesterWrites
Now, here’s my gallery of characters, counting down from ten to one! Click on through to see who I love and why.

Really interesting picks. I have no idea who I’m going to pick for this one. By ten favourite screen characters that means any characters from television or film doesn’t it?

Yep. Or you can make it whatever you want. The original post I was tagged in was just what your top ten favourite screen characters were in general – that was too hard for me as I love everyone! So I picked adapted characters. But just because I have less things to pick from didn’t make it any easier. The only one I was certain on was no.1, the rest were super hard.

Oh, this looks like fun! I admit that I don’t really consume that much media, so this may be easier (or harder, not sure which) for me. A lot of books I like have not yet made it to the screen. But this is going to give me lots to think about over the next few days. I’ll have the post up soon. Thanks for the tag!

It might be easier for you if you don’t have a large pool of characters to choose from. It’s like going out to eat somewhere and not being able to decide on something to eat because the menu has so much stuff on it – it’s easier if there’s only a few things to choose from.

I understand that menu analogy, for sure! That’s the worst when there are too many options. Well, anyway, here’s my post: http://kaitlinthrogmorton.com/2015/02/20/top-5-screen-actors-for-books-made-into-movies. I tweaked it a bit from the original challenge, but it was still lots of fun!

Hi Heather, thanks for the tag! Some good choices here – who doesn’t love Hermione? Emma Watson’s portrayal was pretty spot-on for me; and I agree with Cucumberpatches’ version of Sherlock Holmes – though I’d have to give my edge to Robert Downey Jr’s version, for simple bad-assery in the fight scenes.
Thanks again, my post’ll be up over the weekend!

I agree – RDJ is a much tougher Sherlock physically. I really like Jonny Lee Miller’s portrayal as well – it’s tough to choose between three of them! I think I went with Cumberbatch in the end though purely because when I read Sherlock Holmes, that’s basically who I imagine.
