I think I will pass on Leggy. He is TOO pretty, and, in my estimation, too juvenile. I have always been drawn to older men. And, although I really like Elrond, he is married. Even in fantasies, I have a hard time being attracted that way to married guys.

As for Haldir, I think it is the fact that there is little written that makes him attractive. You can form him anyway that strikes your fancy (within reason, of course. I have a hard time with the way a lot of ff portrays him). The same can be said of the other minor characters.

And about the actors, I am never attracted to actors. It is a character I find appealing. Besides, without the props, some of them are just ewww.

I have yet to see most of the actors from LOTR do any read acting. OB, David Wenhem, etc. I have seen Karl Urban in a couple of movies, and he is really pretty good. Ditto Sean Bean, in National Treasure. And Elijah Wood had pretty much established himself before LOTR. So, nope, I will stick with the characters. That was, I never have to worry about some rabid fan police running me down.

All this is very sad, because both Haldir and Legolas are strong representational characters in Tolkien's story, showing each in his own way how far the elves have come from their heroic, smouldering first-age hawtness.

Excellent analysis, Viv; I actually feel a twinge of respect coming on (for H & L, that is; I always respect you).

Even in the books, Legolas seemed to have more of a feminine side. Then again, all the elves did have the poetry persona.

I dunno - sometimes, I think I prefer my mentally revised character versions to the ones in the books or the movies.

For instance, my Haldir is a lot more..... Twisted Evil
