Re: Most popular character

Aragorn was a great character.
Great leader, great warrior, great everything!

Re: Most popular character

Gandalf was the most recognizable. If I speak to ppl who are only vaguely familiar with the LotR they always remember Gandalf.

Most Popular

Within LOTR, it has to be Gandalf. But overall I'd probably have to go with Fingolfin.

Re: Most Popular

I like Sam! He is cute and so nice to everyone and he says a lot of funny things.

Aragorn is also cool, and nice and I like him too, but Sam I like better

Re: Most Popular

YaY for Gollum! 0 votes! Preciouss!!! argh, we hates thosse hobbitses, nassty! Poor Smeagol! evil massterss!


Out of the characters given, Sam for me! He's the strongest of heart, I believe. and he's so loyal to Frodo.

But of all the characters in the book, my favourite is Pippin <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

[Elrian]

Elrond. There was always that mystique quality about him and his lineage. I mean here's a character who decended from some of the greatest people of the first age, Elven, Edain and Maia. smilies/cool.gif

[Lostgaeriel]

My favourite character is Éowyn (AKA Dernhelm). There are very few female characters in LOTR and she is the only one that has character development in the story. Galadriel, Goldberry and Arwen are rather 1-dimensional. Éowyn is brave, strong and feels very deeply. She loves Théoden as a father, hates Wormtongue, becomes infatuated with Aragorn and is rejected by him, decides to die in battle, shows courage and desparation in defeating the Black Captain, suffers boredom and depression when she cannot rejoin the battle, examines her sulking, whining behaviour and then she finally falls in love with Faramir. (OK, so it’s a hokey fairy-tale ending.)

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

smilies/smile.gif the ending is the best part

[Alaitioc]

Aragorn and Legolas, because of their great loyalty,courage and fighting skill. smilies/cool.gif

[jdraper]

I'd actually say Gimli, he's overcome the odds, gone places no dwarf has gone before, made friends with one of the members of the most distrusting elf-families, and finally sailed on an elf-ships to the west. plus, he beat legolas in the orc game.
SEE YEZ! smilies/evil.gif

[rintintinuviel]

I likes Gimli the best. He adds comedy to the whole thing.

[Finnguala]

No! GANDALF??!! smilies/eek.gif
*sigh* What about Legolas... and FRODO??

[Meela]

popular? i would have said that it was between legolas, aragorn, and frodo

also maybe between gandalf and aragorn

favourite? this is where i am alone in my choices smilies/biggrin.gif (or at least one of a minority or in some cases a large group)

denethor, grima, eomer, theodred, glorfindel, thranduil, faramir, cirdan, and some others who i cant remember.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Meela- I agree. Idefinitely thought that those 3 were the most popular.

[merenwen]

i love pippin!he adds humor to the story.i also like gollum. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Gorwingel]

My favorite charaters have to be a tie between Frodo, Sam, and Gandalf. I love Gandalf just because he is so great, Frodo reminds me of me, and Sam is just a good hearted hobbit. I would have to agree that the most popular charater in the book would have to be someone like Gandalf, or Frodo. Though Merry and Pip are good too, but they are still kind of supporting charaters, and they are great in the book for totally different reasons than in movie.

[Pukel-Man]

Where is Targon in this list? Renowned keeper of the buttery and storehouse for the Guards of the Citadel.

[Meela]

beregoooooooooooooooooooooooooond!!!

[Mimosa Took]

*sigh* My favorite character never makes the top of the polls, aw shucks! smilies/wink.gif Like Elrian, I'd vote for Elrond. He spans so much more history than just LotR, and his family connections can't be topped. Poor overlooked Elrond!

[Alatáriël Lossëhelin]

Ummmm...what about Elladan & Elrohir? Younger than Elrond. Older than Aragorn. And two for the price of one. Although I have to admit I'm very partial to Frodo as well.

[nPiLL]

Well the character that i thought was most popular was not on ther poll. So i would have to say that it would be Legolas. Just because of his bow and just the fact that he is an elf. Aragorn is awesome too.

[Malva Headstrong]

I like Pippin and Merry best. The only optimists in the Fellowship, no obviously heroes, are rather in the background (if compared with Aragorn or Frodo) and very "well-to-do hobbits". And then Elfhelm and Aragorn of course, they´re friendly and humorous too.
In the Silmarillion I like Finrod and Beleg. I don´t know any reason, they´re just sympatical.
