And here's my TOP 15 FAIRIES
Why? Because I want to.
15. Dawn - Strange Magic
Admittedly, I like her sister better. But I was rather fond of Dawn as well. The whole movie was absolutely wonderful, it was the most adorable, hilarious, fantastic version of Midsummer Night's Dream ever, so of course it's full of great Fairy Characters.
14. Bloom - WINX
Now, I adored all the Winx fairies but Bloom was my favorite lol probably because she was like some fiery secret dragon like fairy and I have questionable maturity at times (I say this because I am aware I am a bit out of the target audience age group for this show lol)
13. Magi -Ferngully
I realize the expectation would probably be that I would prefer the main female lead but I just adore the wise, sassy, powerful but sweet crone sort of characters and in this case, Magi fits the bill :D
12. Queen Tara - Epic
I was totally bummed that she doesn't make it through the film, though I saw it coming. Queen Tara is regal and kind and everything a queen should be but what I liked about her was her playful interactions with her captain of the guard, Ronin, who clearly was her love interest and loved her as well, they just couldn't be together.
11. Mandy -Ella Enchanted
This household fairy was a bit ditsy, a total screw up when it came to magic and fiercely loyal to Ella and Ella's mother. But tbh, she made the list because she turned her boyfriend into a BOOK...for centuries.
10. Dr. Katherine Lewis -Toothless
Not the only version of the Tooth Fairy on this list but definitely the least excited to be a fairy for most of the movie. She is sassy and hilarious and a bit grumpy but it's really one of my favorite versions of the Tooth Fairy.
9. Fairy Godmother - Shrek 2
One of the few evil fairies on this list, you can't deny, this fairy is highly entertaining. The mother of Prince Charming, apparently, she is kind of a bitch and out to see her son become King one day and she'll do what it takes to get that to happen but as she commits her evil deeds, you can't help laughing.
8. Wanda - Fairly Odd Parents
Not that I don't adore Cosmo as well, and even Jorgen and the other fairies, but Wanda was always my favorite. Grumpy mom figure that she is. I loved that she was always having to save the boys from their own stupidity.
7. Sugar Plum Fairy - Strange Magic
This weird little version of the Sugar Plum Fairy being imprisoned by the Bog King was an entertaining, nosy thing who could NOT keep a secret and she was fun to watch lol
6. Merryweather - Sleeping Beauty
The fairies from the original Disney version of S.B. were my reason for watching that movie. There were no better scenes than first, the birthday cake and making the dress scene. That was pretty much priceless and I loved it. Then there was the ending scene in which they kept changing the dress. The fairies were wonderful. Merryweather was just my favorite, I always like the grumpy one lol.
5. Jareth - Labyrinth
I debated adding him to this because most people probably don't think of him as being a fairy. But the goblin King is not a goblin lol he is Fae and so by extent, we can call him a fairy. Now that we've decided he is a fairy, we all know why he's on the list. Jareth is more fabulous than any fairy on this list lol. The style. The hair. The voice. The BULGE, guys. The infamous bulge.
4. Tinkerbell - Once Upon a Time
The depictions of classic and some less classic characters in Once Upon a Time tend to be my favorite versions of the characters and in the case of Tink, this is definitely my favorite version of her. The sass of the original character is still there, but this a a version of Tink that has her having to earn back her wings and in which she is not the jealous little pixie chasing after Peter Pan but a strong female character all on her own.
3. Tooth Fairy - Rise of the Guardians
Tooth is my favorite version of Tooth Fairy and as flawless and wonderful as I find this film overall, as an individual character, I really adore the dorky but badass and still adorable character that Tooth is in this. She is really sweet, loves her job and when she punches Pitch is the moment you know you love her. And don't judge me here but I ship Tooth/Jack SO. HARD. #sorrynotsorry
2. Marianne - Strange Magic
So, what I love about Marianne, tbh is that when you think of a fairy, this is not what anyone is thinking of. She's dark and different and she falls for the Bog King, they rock, sometimes literally, together. It's fantastic. And her sister is precisely what you think of when you think of a fairy. But you love both of them. Because they're not just dark or just peppy. They have more to them than that and it's really great. And the dark one can be perky sometimes and the perky one can be angry sometimes. And they both fall for the person who fits them, not who they are expected to be with, for the person who doesn't look like what they are supposed to love but they love them anyway.
1. Maleficent - Maleficent
I adore Angelina Jolie and Idgaf what anyone says, she is the most perfect Maleficent ever. She did such a damn good job. She got the voice, the mannerisms, everything down so damn good. I loved that film so much. She is absolutely my favorite fairy of all time. #stillnotsorry
Oh and if you don't ship Maleficent and Diaval, don't even talk to me.
Idgaf how anyone feels about Top Ten Style Lists...I adore them :D
So...here's my Top 15 Favorite Tv/Movie Witches
15. Witch Carver from Brave
You can't not love her, ok? She's trying so hard to be a woodcarver but she always outs herself as a witch, lol. And whether it's her appearance in Brave or during Merida's story in Once Upon a Time, her ultimate goal is to see people make the right choices and fulfill their destinies. AND she makes kickass bear wood carvings, guys!
14. The Witch - Into the Woods
She automatically got points for being played by Meryl Streep but come on, she was awesome. I mean she comes in like hey, so...your parents are the reason I lost my beauty so I make your family INFERTILE....*evil laugh* AND...I stole your sister :D now...get me these things I need or you'll never have a baby, oh but I am still not giving back your sister, just FYI. She tries to offer up Jack to the angry giantess and tbh, she was really the most logical person for like half the film, just no one wanted to admit that lol.
13. Willow Rosenberg - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Now, I know Willow went a little nuts at some point but that's part of what got her on the list. Sweet, adorable little book nerd Willow may have gone too far down the bad bitch trail but the point is, she went. And she wielded some serious power, just saying.
12. Cassie Blake -Secret Circle
I was so bummed that show was cancelled. I was rather fond of it. And the idea that there was a difference between a witch and witch that was part of a coven, that one a witch became part of the coven, their powers were tied together and stronger BUT they had to have at least two of them together to do much of any magic O.O lol
11. Fiona Goode - American Horror Story Coven
You may have noticed this list isn't all about Good Witches or Bad Witches. I love my good witches, certainly, but you have to admit, there are some bad witches out there that were just played SO. WELL. Like they're evil, sure, but they're badass and you either love them or love to hate them. And Fiona was BADASS. She wasn't above killing other witches to retain her position and she was more than willing to get downright dirty to stay in power.
10. Bonnie Bennett - Vampire Diaries
Oh Bonnie. Poor, dear Bonnie. The shit that girl goes through. And despite her trips down the dark side, of which there have been many, growing progressively worse, she started out as a good witch and continues throughout the series to show that she has a heart and she means to do the right thing. But all that power is so alluring.
9. Winifred Sanderson -Hocus Pocus
Oh, well all know why Winnie is here. I mean, aside from being played by Bette Midler, which is ALL YOU NEED, Winnie is perfection. She is the most hilariously evil witch, She is so funny and honestly, so amusingly pitiful at times, you find yourself practically rooting for the Sandersons. Oh, you need to eat all the children in Salem? Well, just this once, so we can keep you :D
8. Muriel - Hansel and Gretal: Witchhunters
Alright, so, we have another child eater. I know, I know, she's pure evil. But DAMN, evil never looked so good. Not physically when she is transformed, lol, but she is a Grand Witch of Epicly Immoral Proportions. And she is terribly good at being truly bad.
7. Wendy Beauchamp - Witches of East End
Now, I like all the Beauchamp women and it was quite the chore choosing between Wendy, Joanna, Ingrid and Freya because I adore them all for different reasons. But I went with Wendy because one, she's a cat, which is awesome. And two, she is a bit likelier to use magic than the other three Beauchamp women. SOOO bummed they cancelled this show too *^*
6. Ravenna - Snow White and the Hunstman
Now, I realize that film was a bit of a flop, many people didn't like it. IDGAF, because of two things....one, come on, guys, the Huntsman is played by CHRIS HEMSWORTH. And....Charlize Theron is the Evil Queen. I adore her. And whatever you say about the film, she did an incredible job with Ravenna who was both clearly evil as all hell...but also you could feel sorry for her, you empathized with her that her shitty life made her the way she was.
5. Morgana - Merlin
This is the role that made me LOVE Katie McGrath, ok? She played this role to perfection. Morgana is so lovable at the start of this series, the poor girl who doesn't understand her visions or why magic keeps effecting her life to the jaded woman who seeks ultimate vengeance. And even though she does SERIOUS evil, you can't blame her because if fucking Uther hadn't been such a dick or if everyone hadn't repeatedly lied to her and just told her what she was, she'd never have become the greatest evil power that world had ever known. Even when she was dark, she was FABULOUS.
4. Hermione Granger - Harry Potter Series
Well, of course, Hermione! Much like Willow, she was our book nerd, the witch we can look up to. Just because you are feminine, sweet or bookish doesn't mean you can't be brave and badass and go on adventures! Hermione was endlessly clever and portrayed beautifully by Emma Watson. And unlike Willow, she maintained her good heart throughout the entire series and never took the easy way out by joining the dark side or misusing magic.
3. Regina Mills - Once Upon a Time
I have loved Regina from the very beginning. Once the Evil Queen, yes, but from her point of view, she had every right to her revenge and yes, she was blinded by it but she wasn't always that way and she overcame that darkness and became one of the greatest forces of good in the show. I adore her, I absolutely adore her and I respect the change and I swear, every time the writers played around with her and made her tap back into evil, I wanted to THROTTLE them!!
2. Piper Halliwell -Charmed
I adore all the sisters, of course. Prue, least of all, admittedly, but her, Phoebe and Paige. But Piper was always my favorite. I was honestly relieved when Prue died because it allowed Piper to leave her shell, stop being the shy middle sister who just wanted to cook and not do magic and though she fought against magic's hold on her life for the entire series, as the oldest sister, she came into her own and became a complete badass. She also spent the entire series fighting for her love...she deserved Leo so badly, I mean, seriously. I felt for her. She is one of my favorite female characters ever, as well as one of my favorite witches.
1. Minerva McGonagall -Harry Potter Series
Minerva McGonagall, played by the incredible Maggie Smith is not only my favorite Harry Potter character but my all time favorite witch. She isn't all stern, she is maternal. She isn't just wise, she is fun and she appreciates a little mischief. She is powerful, there is no doubt. Unlike the other truly powerful characters in this series, she never flaunts it, never claims it, never acts on it. But when that wand comes out, everyone knows they better get up out the way because McGonagall is a BADASS.
^ Fucking THIS
