Top Ten Characters from the "His Dark Materials" Trilogy
Really hyped to read the new Book of Dust trilogy for this so I thought I'd make this. It's a very good trilogy and one of my favourite books of all time is The Amber Spyglass.
Lyra Belacqua, also known as Lyra Silvertongue, is the heroine of Philip Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy. The main character of the trilogy. I won't go into detail about her as I don't want to give any spoilers but she is the girl from a prophecy who's "destined to bring about the end of destiny".
Pantalaimon is Lyra's daemon. A daemon is like having a soul that lives outside the body as a physical being. They a connected with an unexplainable bond and one of the saddest scenes in the book is when Lyra has to leave her daemon behind to go to the world of the dead.
Lyra's father starts a war against the Authority and is the person who managed to open a gap in the world and escape to the next parallel universe. Without him the whole story wouldn't work.
Iorek Brunson is an "Armoured Bear" from Phillip Pullman’s book series His Dark Materials. He is the king of the Armoured Bears and guides Lyra on her journeys. Iorek Byrnison is an armoured bear and the king of Svalbard. Him and Lyra have a deep love for each other and Iorek always would do anything to help Lyra.
This is Lyra's mother and the main enemy in the first book. She is a devoted mother despite being an awful person.
Lyra's companion in the last two books. He is in control of the Subtle Knife - a knife that is so sharp it can cut through universes.
She is from our own world as well as Will Parry. She learnt of Dust thanks to Lyra and escaped from her world into a world with the Mulefa.
The main witch in the stories. She knows of Lyra's prophecy
Lyra's childhood friend who is killed and used by Lord Asriel to open a gate to another universe
The main enemy in the second book. He wants the Subtle Knife for himself
