I loved the Northern Lights books by Philip Pullman and have just seen the trailer for the film that comes out in Dec - The Golden Compass.
Within the books, the characters souls live outside their bodies in the form of a daemon, an animal spirit that accompanies them through life. A daemon is kind of a combination of ones own spirit and a best friend. I think it's a lovely idea. I also love that a child's daemon changes shape, assuming all the forms that a child's potential inspires; but as a person ages, their daemon gradually settles into one form according to their character and nature.
Anyway. As a little widget for the film you can 'meet your daemon' and mine is apparently a tiger (whoo hoo, so much happier than if it had given me a badger or a newt or something!)
A tiger because I'm 'modest, assertive, spontaneous, responsible and shy'.
Apparently.

I'm quite excited about the film - the trailer looked great! I love the books though so I fear there's always going to be room for disapointment but I think the casting looks spot on.
Is there a link to this widget - I want to know my daemon...
