*Blushes* I started liking Haldir after The Two Towers for obvious reasons.

Why is it that the death of a character always makes them better to me? I mean, I suddenly started thinking of him as...sexy. Do you ever feel that way? Now, whenever I read about him or see him (even in Fellowship...) I start crying...even though it's not the same in the movie as the books...when I read about him in the end of the books, I still cry...it's weird...

Oh, but Legolas is still my favorite character. And that is because when I was nine, I thought all attractive, mystical races were cool, and ergo Legolas was cool and I decided I was going to marry him and become Queen of Mirkwood. Now, six years later, I still like him because you do not get rid of an obsession like the one I had with him that easily!
