There are sooooo many characterizations of this wizard from Arthurian legend. Among the best are the Merlin from Stargate: SG1 and the one from the BBC series Merlin.
But my absolute favourite has got to be the Merlin from The Sword in the Stone. He's the wisest, friendliest, grumpiest, POOFiest wizard I know. He creates wizard blizzards and participates in duals with mad madams. Plus he can pack up an entire room with a chorus of hockety pockety wockety wack.
Shout out to blogger buddy M: Michael Pierce is a friendly blogger whom I admire for self publishing his YA books!
I really liked the BBC miniseries. Excellent show.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen the BBC series, but I'll have to hunt it down.
ReplyDeleteI love the Sword in the Stone. The wizards' dual is my favorite part!
SG1 and Merlin - science fiction and fantasy collide!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, I love the Sword in the Stone and the book it is based on. The name of the writer escapes me completely in the fog of my mind. It will come :D
