Our favourite book characters as BFFs? Now that’s a wish worth making!

What’s your all-time favourite book? It’s probably because of a character you totally fell for, right? Some characters make you laugh; others might hit you with some deep life reflections. Whether you met them through books, movies, or art, these characters can become like old friends. It’s wild how attached we get, imagining them in our own lives. Some might be terrible besties, but others have so much heart, they feel more real than people you know. So, if we could magically hang out with them in real life, here are some of the coolest characters who would make the best BFFs! Scroll down to meet them!

Harry Potter from the Harry Potter Series 

Can you imagine having Harry Potter as your best friend? No dark wizards to ruin your day, just casual chats where you ask him to swing by on his broom for pizza or a movie night. Plus, you’d probably get to explore all the magical places and maybe even get that Hogwarts letter you’ve always dreamed of. Honestly, who wouldn’t be jealous of that? Alright, let’s check out the next one!

Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables 

Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables? Oh, absolutely! Hanging out with her would be a blast. She's got that fiery spirit, a wild imagination, and let’s be honest, she’d probably get you into some hilariously unexpected situations. Anne would definitely keep things exciting and adventurous—no way life would be boring with her as your BFF. Also, her charm would totally rub off on you.

Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing 

Hanging out with Beatrice would be a whole vibe. She's quick with the banter and fiercely loyal—remember when she wanted Benedick to go after Claudio for messing with Hero? That’s the kind of friend you want by your side—sharp, protective, and always ready to throw out a clever comeback.

Jean Louise Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird 

Jean Louise Finch, or Scout, as we know her, is the ultimate rebel with a heart of gold. She’s not the type to sit still in class because, honestly, she’s way ahead of her peers. Hanging out with her would guarantee some seriously deep conversations. And with her dad being the most respected guy in town, being her friend would definitely give you some insider access to the "elite" crowd—without the stuffiness.

Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice

You know, maybe part of you wants to be Elizabeth, but let's admit it, she’d be such a solid BFF! Her sense of humour is gold, so you’d always be cracking up. And let’s not forget—she’d be the best wing woman ever. She’d totally pick up on your crush vibes and make sure nothing awkward gets in the way of you two getting together.

Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride

Once Inigo wraps up his whole revenge thing, he’d be a top-tier BFF. The loyalty is unmatched, and let’s be real, having a buddy who's great at fencing and can navigate castles like a pro is pretty cool. Adventures with him would never be boring!

Jo March from Little Women

Jo March would totally make life a blast! She’s got this spontaneous, fun vibe that guarantees adventures and laughs. And you’d get to chill with her awesome sisters too—talk about an epic crew for those lazy afternoons!

Hanging out with these legends would totally shake up our lives with adventure and laughs. They'd turn every day into something memorable and fun, making even the mundane feel special.
