If you want to find out why people love Alyson Hannigan and her BTVS character, Willow Rosenberg, you hit the streets of Frog City, asking random (and biased) people for their thoughts.
Reporter Frog E: What makes Willow Rosenberg such a beloved character?
"She is a wonderful role model for teenage girls--she is smart, loyal, brave, and true to herself. Her character on Buffy embodies the idea that nerds are cool." -- Ilana
"She's an extremely loyal friend, and a very valuable member of the gang." -- Jessica
"Willow is the reason I watch Buffy." -- Megan
"Willow is a great role model for nerds everywhere!" -- Lenore
"I love her vocabulary & that she is such a good friend to Buffy." -- April
"What is there not to love? And I **REALLY** love VampWillow which is why I'm the keeper of her VampWillow outfit! WooHoo!" -- Hap
"What's not to love? She makes Buffy what it is. She's the smart, kinda quiet, yet cool and funny character. You don't see them too often." -- Devon
Reporter Frog E.: Okay, so Willow rocks. What do you love about her portrayer, Alyson Hannigan?
"How can you sum her up into one media friendly soundbite? Everything." -- 'Arry
"She's just very lush...I love everything about her." -- Quinn
"There is not enough room here to tell that." -- Todd
"I don't even know where to begin..." -- James
"A*D*O*R*A*B*L*E" -- Chi
"Her aura." -- Sean
"Her smile, mostly." -- Ned
"[Her] ultra expressive eyes." -- Morgan
"It's gotta be the hair. As a fellow redhead I always fall for it. And maybe that innocent on-screen persona. She's just so dad gum adorable." -- John
"Her hair! Her talent! Her looks! But mostly her smile." -- Britney
"Her unmistakeable sweet grin !!!!!!!!" -- "Aly's Alliby"
"I want her hair..." -- Kris
"[Her] sweetness." -- Harry
"She is so cute and talented and wonderful and adorable." -- Sara
"Her smile and sweetness." -- Kel
"Everything, her cute face, her widow's peak..she's simply smashing!!" -- Allan
"She's just so darn cute!" -- Laura
"The whole package - looks, talent, that smile and those eyes." -- Gav
"How about everything- she's so cute, nice, wonderful and intelligent and funny and..." -- Sandy
"She chews with small bites." -- Deen
"We are the palest people in the world...and she's funny." -- Kenzie
"She is a very fantastic actress, and her smile is the sweetest on earth." -- Brad
"Other than the adorableness factor? She's amazingly talented." -- Nichole
"I've only seen Buffy once, but I love the way Aly portrays the character of Willow...a very admirable character played very well and truthfully" -- Victoria
"She's the best teen actress out right now, and she's got the talent to be even greater! (And the fact that she gets to kiss Seth Green doesn't hurt!)" -- Randie
"She's an amazing actress and pulls off that innocent naive thing well, I know I can't pull that one off!" -- Nicky
"Her acting and her sense of humor." -- Abby
"She's just the most beautiful actress on T.V. and has a genuine talent for comedy (and lots of of stuff I can imagine)." -- King Faff
"Her ability to give us great Willowisms. And the fact that she's touched me." -- Karyn
"I love that she feels so comfortable as an actress being herself and not pretending to be something she's not in the name of Hollywood glamour [that] it ends up making her." -- Atoosa, editor-in-chief of Cosmogirl magazine
"She's just the coolest. She seems so down to earth and an all around fun person." -- Courtney
"Where do I start? First and foremost, she is the most talented actress!! And she's beautiful, funny, and she seems so comfortable with who she is. And, she's just Aly!!" -- Becca
"Alyson's got that thing that makes you say :"Gee! SHE rules!". Wherever you see her, she's smiling... THAT is fantastic." -- Christophe
"I expected the quiet and scared Alyson from the press conference, but actually met somebody rather fearless and very adept at dealing with pesky reporters." -- Ultimate TV News reporter Shelly Lyons (http://www.ultimatetv.com)
"And while I didn't find out her favorite color or her idea of a dream date, I got the impression that she is charming and chatty with a midwestern sensibility (I'm from Missouri so I can make this sweeping midwestern generalization), ambitious, modest, quirky and fun." -- Ultimate TVNews reporter Shelly Lyons (http://www.ultimatetv.com)
"Alyson's sense of self in interviews and articles, staying down to earth and truthful, assists aspiring actors/actresses as well as general fans to follow their dreams. :)" -- Little Willow
"The humility, sparkling intelligence and innocence behind such a response is displayed each week in her portrayal of Willow. There is little wonder why fans around the globe will root for Alyson, in hoping her dreams come true. Although, not being as selfless as Alyson, they may add to the list 'Ten more years of Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and "more of Alyson on the big screen' during her hiatus." --(http://www.internetcity.com/alysonhannigan/biography.html)
"For those of us who watch 'Buffy' all the time, it's a tad startling to see Hannigan pop up on talk shows and biz shows like 'Entertainment Tonight' looking considerably more mature than Willow and opining that the raunchy sex scenarios in 'Pie' are pretty commonplace events in real life. I know Hannigan's an actress playing a role -- she might even be playing a role as Alyson Hannigan, the freethinking interview-giver -- and I wish her nothing but the best in her movie career. But, among all the young actors filling the cast lists of teen movies right now (including her 'Buffy' costar Green), Hannigan's transformation is the most striking. She'd give Willow the willies." -- Ken Tucker EW Weekly Magazine (http://www.pathfinder.com/ew/daily/0,2514,1718,buffysgoodgirlgoes.html)
"Alyson Hannigan makes an unbelievable transformation into a band geek character that is hard to realize it is truly her playing the part until the end of the movie when you hear her last line." (American Pie) -- Slowhand (http://www.piemovie.com/reviews-slow.html)
"Alyson Hannigan is not Willow. But unlike many celebs who look like tiny wrinkled versions of themselves when seen up close, the 24-year-old actress cradling a cup of coffee at a no-big-deal L.A. café is a dead ringer for the shy, spell-casting, computer-using high schooler she plays on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." (8 ET Tuesdays on the WB)." -- Zach Stentz (http://www.tvquest.com/tribune/highlights/profiles/ahannigan.html)
"The fact that her name isn't Jim. Jim is a lovely name, it just wouldn't work for her." -- Nick
