Have you ever crushed on a book character?

[Liz]

of course! Peeta Mellark!

[em (lattereads)]

Yes! Fred Weasely and Sirius :)

[Rue]

Yes, Peeta Mellark from the Hunger Games trilolgy! He is so sweet and just everything I like in a guy! :)

[LPR]

heck yes. I have a whole shelf dedicated to it. Here are a few.
Peeta (Hunger Games) Duh...
Gales (yes, i love them both)
Finnick (so I'm not that selective)
Prince Char (Ella enchanted)
Finn and Razo and Geric (But especially Finn)(books of bayern)
Luka (Dragon Slippers)
Brigan (Fire)
Peri (The Glass Swallow)
Percy Jackson. Duh.
Laurie (Little Women)
GILBERT BLYTHE (Anne of Green Gables)
And Walter Blythe (my awkward father and son crush)
Westley (Farm Boy)(As you wish)
FANG (heckya. maximum Ride)
And this is a short list. I'm really not that selective. I am just a sucker for Prince Charmings and guys who can swordfight. (Totally a fantasy novel girl)

oh man Lauren, you're right the man in black was my first crush ever, but it was from the movie.

He still deserves a spot on my list however because when I finally read the book I was in love with him as ever :3

Laurie too, movie crush first, book crush later. Thanks for reminding me!

2.Peeta ( Hunger Games)
3. Jacob (twilight)

In books people often have less flaws than in real life causing people to crush on their near perfect qualities.It's not our fault characters are so appealing.

[mercy]

1-PERCY JACKSON!
2-Draco Malfoy
3- Peter Pan
I have plenty book crushes.

[Samantha The Escapist]

It seems like more people who've read Percy Jackson have a crush on him while with Harry Potter a lot of people choose a side character. Interesting.

[Kressel]

Totally. I had such a crush on Dumbledore. Too bad he's gay. But as a friend pointed out, he's no more available to me than he was before he was outted.

[Ellie]

Yep, I'm in love with Jacob Black and Ron Weasely!!!

[Bri]

I agree. :)

J.K. Rowling announced it very late either shortly before the last book was published or shortly after.

It was about a year after the last was published but well before all the movies were done coming out. And I would really like to clarify that she didn't announce it, she answered a fan question. It was simply the first time someone asked it and in the aftermath she was forced to call a press conference to discuss it. Dumbledore being gay wasn't important to the story and so it wasn't included in the story. It was simply what she believed of the character while she wrote him. He was in love with Grindlewald.

Sorry to take the topic further off track but I hope this post is accurate enough to clear it up and that the main topic can continue unhindered :P Tizrah there is almost always a "Dumbledore is gay" topic available on one of the HP boards if you'd like to discuss it further :)

Edit: Oh no Tizrah I'm not commenting on YOU going off topic, I was apologizing for myself because I perpetuated the tangent when Kristen had already answered it! I was just afraid people would be mad at me for my long post since it wasn't necessary :P (in response to below)

LOL...so did I...

[Koleen]

Oh yes, I have crush on Edward Cullen from twilight Himura Kenshin from rurouni kenshin and Darien form sailor moon mako The Legend of Korra there is more I am not saying any more

[Currer]

Keep crushing. Never stop:) It is perfectly normal. You see how everyone treats Roochester and Darcy.

[Brenda]

Of course.
1. Mr. Darcy (Pride and prejudice)
2. Sirius (Harry Potter)
3. Mr. Fogg (Around the World in Eighty Days)
And more.. :D

[Catherine]

My sister read The Hunger Games, and would say (out loud) "DIE KATNISS!!!! I LOVE YOU PEETA!!!!!" only a tad strange...

[Sparrowlicious]

I don't understand how someone could have a crush on a fictional character. As a matter of fact, I don't even experience 'love at first sight'. I'm the type of person who has to get to know someone before they start to even care about another person. (As far as I know, that's called 'demiromantic'.)
That's simply impossible with a fictional character.

So no, I never had a crush on a character from a book. I do get overly fascinated with some of them though. But that's the same fascination I have for plants.

[Nikki]

I cant say I've had a crush on a single character but more like I've had a crush on character couples. (usually fan-fiction ones) like harry and draco (you know you've thought about it) :) Haha I lurv Harry potter books! :D

you are boring! And i think falling in love with a character means being aweed or facinated by them.

[Samantha The Escapist]

^^ I don't think there is anything boring about having a strong sense of self :)

I don't believe in love at first sight either, and I certainly don't experience it. I obviously have a different love for my boyfriend than my superficial escapist crushes on book characters :P

haha

[Zoë]

Well, I'm not sure I can call it crushing so much as falling in love with that character-but only while I'm reading the book. So yeah:
Young Prince Jonathan (Alanna series)
Percy Jackson (of course, he's so clueless!)
Murtagh (only in the last book)
Eragon (just a little)
Four/Tobias (I still think of him as Four)
And a few more...

By the way, didn't J. K. Rowlng announce that Dumbledore was gay when the movie people wanted to put in something about "Dumbledore's lost love"? It doesn't really matter, though. People have crushes on Alec, right?

[Hannah]

colonel brandon from sense and sensebility
aragorn from lotr
prince andrei from war and peace.....

you are not alone .... i fall in love with fictional people all the time

[Avani]

Draco Malfoy, Fred Weasley (WHY, why did he have to die?!), Neville (once he grew into himself a bit)...
Jace from the Mortal Instruments.
There are probably more. But I can't think of them right now.
