As the next commenters specified the HoME and the Silmarillion, respectively, I'll pretend you said "LotR" ;)
1. The character I first fell in love with
Where to I start? Gandalf, Strider, Galadriel, Éomer, Éowyn, Faramir, Sam, Ioreth. I think that's about right.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
Sam. I felt pretty indifferent about him in the beginning, but as the story went on, he grew on me for obvious reasons. Now, I think he rocks the whole story and did all along. Even Sean Astin's sometimes hamfisted acting couldn't change that.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t
"Everyone else" is such a big word. But I really don't give a damn about either Legolas or Glorfindel, and I know that many people adore those two. Ok, let's be honest. Glorfindel I mostly just don't care about. But Legolas? Due to over-exposure in the movies, stupid oliphaunt stunts etc., and the really rabid sort of fangirl, I hate the poor fellow - even in the books, where he hasn't actually done anything wrong.
