Help from fictional characters

For some time, I've seen these brilliant tags pop up on Instagram. Whether or not I'm tagged, I mull over many of them in my head. And I've decided they're just too good to keep there. So up they go on the blog, to see if I can get nods of agreement, and suggestions of more.
The questions are simple. Which fictional characters would you ask for help in the following situations? If you're keen to delve into my choices, you can follow the links to see where they come from. This time round, I haven't elaborated on any of them, as I hope they should speak for themselves. Here goes.
For help choosing an outfit
Diana Barry or Scarlett O'Hara
Someone to cheer you up
Ron Weasley, Pollyanna
You want to rob a bank
Count Fosco
Oops, you get caught. Who will help you out?
Atticus Finch
You need a book recommendation. Who will you ask?
Jo March, Matilda
You need dating advice
Mr George Knightley (but definitely not Emma Woodhouse)
You need help with studies
Hermione Granger
You're super sick and need someone to take care of you
Dr Gilbert Blythe
Bad guys are after you. Who will help you get rid of them?
Samwise Gamgee, Sam Weller, Neville Longbottom
You need a shoulder to cry on
Scorpius Malfoy, Alyosha Karamazov, Agnes Wickfield
So those are mine, and the natural question to follow is who would yours be? Please feel free to share them in the comments, or if you do a blog post of your own, leave us the link, as I'd love to read them. Have fun thinking.

Author, blogger, reader, reviewer, mother of three. All this goes under the mantle of 'stay at home mum'. I also love walking and cooking when the mood strikes me. Getting stuck into a good book has always been one of the best things ever.
I invite you to treat this blog like a book-finder. People often ask the question, "What should I read next?" I've done it myself. I try to read widely, so hopefully you will find something that will strike a chord with you. The impressions that good books make deserve to be shared.
I read contemporary, historical and fantasy genres. You'll find plenty of Christian books, but also some good ones from the wider market. I also read a bit of non-fiction to fill that gap between fiction, when I don't want to get straight on with a new story as the characters of the last are still playing so vividly in my head. ...more
