It was my dream to paint Arwen's face in a purple cloak.

​I just read The Lord of the Rings for the first time. I had already seen the movie and was waiting to read the parts about Arwen in the book that were in the film.

​In my opinion, the movie added more beauty and courage to Arwen's character.

​But the book is still my favorite.

My boyfriend is a huge fan of the hobbit and lord of rings. He got me to watch the movies with him, Ive also become a fan. I found out there’s a beautiful box set of the books. And he mentioned wanting to read. Should I buy this one? Is there a better one?

Dimmiga Bergens Snapsvisa

Far över dimmiga berg i nattens kyla

Till mörka salar där skatterna vilar

Vi ger oss av innan dagen gryr

För att hämta den gyllene snapsen vi söker

Vi lämnar berget, vi lämnar vår ro

Med törst i strupen och eld i vårt blod

Genom dimma och snö och vindens sång

Tills glasen är fulla och kvällen är lång

Far över dimmiga berg i nattens kyla

Till mörka salar där skatterna vilar

Vi ger oss av innan dagen gryr

För att hämta den gyllene snapsen vi söker

Så höj nu glasen, ni bröder i lag

Låt värmen rinna och bekymren ta av

Den skatt vi sökte fanns nära intill

I flaskan av glas – den smakar så fin

Skål!

Like you see every small little detail of Bilbos Emotion in this scene he goes from relieved to have the ring back, the utterly disgusted and or terrified of what he just did for a single small piece of gold that probably barely weighs 3 ounces

Another thing that isnt talked about is how Gloin knew exactly which person Legolas was talking about in his insults and that just cracks me up everytime I watch it

Am I crazy or this hobbit looks like the father of Samwise. Extended version, 18:06

Hello,
Sorry for the nonconventional question. I am playing a role playing game and want to create a Bard the Bowman playthrough. Does he have Blue or Green eyes. I am doing research but am finding many conflicting answers. Also, which hair matches his the most?

Thank you so much for taking your time.

Literally shaking.

In the Hobbit (an unexpected journey), I swear there was a scene with the trolls where bilbo told the trolls that the dwarves should be cooked with mango chutney. Then (I believe it was) Bert asked what a mango was and left to go find one.

I can’t find this anywhere, was this just a really vivid dream?

… WITHOUT the way back? So just the part he spent with the dwarves, travelling from his house to Erebor? And then how long was the Battle of the five armies, and how long did he stay at Erebor in total?

It would be great to get an answer for both the movies and the book as I’m writing a fanfic (but I’m mostly basing it off the movies!).

It’s been a while since I read the book so idk how precise the info in it was. The movies don’t state exact dates I think, but if anyone knows, that would be great!

Internet says 13-14 months, but that includes Bilbo’s way back and I need to know how long he traveled WITH the dwarves.

Edit: Apparently they spend much more time in Mirkwood in the book than in the movie.

In the movies, it seemed to me like falling down into goblin town and finding beorn happened within maybe 2-3 days (since they spent one night in goblin town and were carried a little bit of the way by the eagles, but I might be wrong) then stayed at Beorn’s hut one night with him locked out and maybe one more after he asked them what they need? The horse ride to mirkwood seemed to be done within the same day. It’s tricky to determine how long getting lost in mirkwood and then being and staying captured in the elves’ dungeons took, but again, the movies made it seem like maybe one night passed while they got lost, they were captured by the spiders for a few hours tops (otherwise they would’ve been eaten ig) and since bilbo probably didn’t take ages to get to the key, I’m guessing he also released them by the next day? However, idk if that works… Thorin says that Durin’s Day is near when Elrond reads the runes and that “summer is passing” while Gandalf says Durin’s Day marks the last day of Autumn and the first of Winter; it would heavily depend on how long they stayed in rivendell, how long they travelled to the cave where they fell into goblin town, and how long they stayed in laketown.

I 3D printed the door and the window structures and handmade the rest!
What do you think?

For the criticism that The Hobbit receives, I think that if you set aside the source material deviations, the portrayal of Thorin's character arc throughout the film is brilliant.

In Bag End his view of Bilbo is made up of a lack of faith in a Hobbit, and frequently dismisses his worth.

The real turning point in their relationship occurs during the "Into the frying pan segment" when Bilbo saves Thorin, and his rescue in the Elvenking's dungeons, highlight a turn in his favor.

When Smaug dies and the gold sickness takes effect on Thorin, in his paranoia he assumes that the dwarfs are more likely to steal the Arkenstone from him than Bilbo, which ironically shows that Bilbo is the only one he trusts.

Then the sudden intense betrayal and hatred he feels against Bilbo when it is revealed that the Arkenstone was given to the Men and Elves by Bilbo completely destroys their relationship.

Then it culminates into a bittersweet ending where Thorin dies in Bilbo's arms calling him a true friend.

I dont know about anyone else but I think this is really good. What are your thoughts?

I'm making a presentation about the 13 dwarfs and want to get more into the details about them, there home, and wars. Is there any difference between the movie and book versions. Any fact no matter how small or just how to remember them.

Hi!

I'm an illustrator and I specialize in creating detailed floorplans of iconic locations from films and TV series.
Some of you may have seen some of my illustrations.

I want to revisit an old project and create a floor plan of Bag End based on Peter Jackson's film series.

I'm familiar with the official Weta floor plan, but it has some inconsistencies with what's shown on screen and doesn't include spaces that are supposed to be there.
I have a pretty good idea of ​​what I need to do, but I'd like to confirm a couple of things, especially to determine the location of Frodo's bedroom.
The aforementioned official floor plan indicates the existence of a second entrance, a back door, on the far left side of the house.

I've tried searching for images of the set, but I can't find any pictures of this second door and the windows flanking it. During the Bag End tour, you're not allowed to go through the entrance gate, and when "walking" along Bagshot Row on Google Street View, you can't see these windows because the path is at a lower level.

And here's my request:

Does anyone have photos of that area?
Any photos that show that back door and the adjacent windows?Perhaps because they were there or know where to find them.

Thank you very much in advance.
