Top 10 Best Characters from Stephen King's It

Benjamin "Ben" Hanscom

My favorite character.

Stanley "Stan" Uris

Stan is the most psychological and complex of all the characters. From his realization of fears to his logical approach, all the way through to the climax, his inability to face the horror is compelling. He has the most powerful ending, as he ultimately commits suicide in the bathtub. What an amazing character and by far the best in the franchise, hands down, from start to finish!

Stan is the most realistic character and feels like a real person throughout the story. His realizations that analytical and logical outcomes aren't the only possibilities in life are astounding. The fact that he can't accept this is a primary reason why he commits suicide in the bathtub. Stan was an amazing plot device, and I love his denial and tragic end.

William "Bill" Denbrough

Why do so many people consider him the lamest character in the book? He's a sympathetic character.

Leader of the Losers' Club, yes.

I just overall LOVE Jaeden Lieberher.

Michael "Mike" Hanlon

This kid is built different. He took M-80s to the face, was a football star in high school, and tore the guts of Henry Bowers open.

Edward "Eddie" Kaspbrak

Eddie is one of the best characters in the story because his personality shows that not everyone is perfect and no one is exactly the same. He's also just awesome.

Eddie is one of my favorite literary and film characters. I relate to him very much. Grazer's portrayal of the character in the 2017 adaptation was great.

I love Eddie so much, like Eddie Munson.

Richard "Richie" Tozier

Speaking from the books, Richie is an 11-year-old boy who is goofy and never fails to make his friends laugh, even in terrifying situations. He is a brave and loyal friend who was unfortunately bullied for his inability to refrain from making biting comments at inopportune times. But he never let the deep emotional scars from these traumatizing childhood memories prevent him from, quite literally, facing his demons.

Richie is probably the average 13-year-old kid. He'll always tease his friends, and come on, we all have a friend like that. Not to mention, he has the best lines in the movie! We love you, Richie.

Beverly "Bev" Marsh

She's beautiful, both as a kid and an adult.

Are you still his little girl, Beverly?

Pennywise the Dancing Clown

It, sometimes capitalized as IT and more commonly known as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, is the main antagonist of Stephen King's novel It and its adaptations, including the 1990 television miniseries and the 2017 film. It is an ancient, shapeshifting, malevolent entity that is billions of years old.... read more
