Literature and movie characters

Charlie and Lola

A British cartoon series about a brother and sister ,Charlie is around 8 or 9,depending on what series you're watching,I read somewhere that Lola is about four,but this does not make sense because in one episode she lost her tooth and in another episode she learned to read and she's old enough to count ,add and subtract,so I'm guessing her age is around five then six.

Lola is a typical child with her problems being very real to her such as getting her hair cut,wanting to be the main character for a school play and becoming upset when she doesn't get picked.The fear she has been replaced by her best friend. Breaking her brother's toy and blaming it on her imaginary friend and various others.

Charlie while patient with Lola will get mad at her ,but will always try to help her with whatever problem she has,no matter how small it might seem to him knowing they are very real to Lola.

As far as wardrobe goes Charlie wears the same thing a t-shirt with his name on it and jeans,Lola however has a far larger wardrobe even her pajamas are different

Peter Pan

In the musicals and Disney version ,Peter comes across as aroogant,but in the books he is sometimes mean such as flying ahead of the Darling children while they fly to Neverland or telling Wendy her Mother will eventually forget her because she'd been gone so long. They way he treats John and Michael and in fact if Wendy hadn't asked if they could come along,I kind of think he would have left them behind.

Dorothy Gale

In the 1939 version Dorothy comes across as a little wimp,but in the book and the sequal "Return to Oz" and any other version ,she's actually quite brave and is actually not sorry when she melts the witch.

The Pevensie Children


Because of the ages of the kids in the new movie,I think people forgot the Pevensie children are not that old when they enter Narnia,fight a war and rule a kingdom,the oldest is barely a teenager and who knows how long he's been thirteen,the middle children are twelve and ten and the youngest about eight. These kids are not even old enough to make decisions by themselves yet they are rulers of a magical kingdom and to top it off they have fought in a war,nearly die(Edmund) and traipse through a snow covered land in an effort to save their brother(again Edmund) with the only adults being Talking Beasts and this is just the first book.

These kids are not perfect they have faults,in the first book Edmund's resentment of Peter leads to his betraying them although if you think about it literally he didn't do it on purpose because at the time he had no idea who the White Witch was,it wasn't until they went back together that he went to the Witch's house did he really betray them,of course he was probably still in denial over who Jadis really was.

Susan loses her faith in the last book which means she is the only one not to enter the New Narnia because she was not there when the train crashed


Lucy struggles with jealousy and self image issues in the third book as

The books don't really give Peter a fault,but the second movie does and Peter comes across as a bit arrogant with anger issues the first time we see him he's in a fight,but since he's sixteen it kind of makes sense,I mean puberty is hard enough the first time,but to do it again .

I don't know of any other literature children who literally grew up without human parents of any kind ( there probably is,but I never read books they were in)and went back to being kids again.

Harry Potter

For the first eleven years of his life Harry is something of a slave and punching bag to his relatives especially his cousin Dudley and it isn't until he's told he's a wizard and not just any wizard but "The Boy Who Lived" and later in the series "The Chosen One" does Harry actually learn to stand up for himself and it helps he has friends to help him,two best friends and a handful of good friends too
