The Losers Club and what tma entities I think they would be an avatar of
Eddie was really easy; he fears filth and sickness, so he's a Corruption avatar
Ben was the second easiest; he's a Lonely avatar because he was always isolated from his peers and didn't have friends before or after the Losers
Beverly is a Flesh avatar, and let me explain. The Flesh is the fear of consumption, and Bev's fear is her body and it being violated or "consumed"
Richie is an Eye avatar because his fear has always been what he sees, whether in media or real life
Mike is a Stranger avatar because as the only black kid in Derry, he fits the Stranger's deal of uncanniness and unfamiliarity
Stan is a Spiral avatar because the Spiral is all about your senses lying to you, and the world not being what you perceive it as. At least in the book, Stan was afraid of the very concept of It because it shook everything he knew of the world
Bill is an End avatar because he was afraid of the deaths of all the kids of Derry, especially Georgie's
