Why would he not be (if he is in the film at all)? :scratch: :scratch: Goes off to re-read the Hobbit. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: You won't find Legolas there! But I can't imagine why he would be introduced in the film a...

Lifeline?

I'm going to say Brego.

Should I be right, I will go again. Else, I'll stop and have some pipeweed with Théoden.

I read the Potter series and found that the writing improved as it went on. I don't know if this was by design because the target audience was getting older, or if she just got better. But I thought it worked out well for young adults who were growing up as the books were being published. But for so...

I was somewhat disappointed that my favorite elves weren't really there (Galadriel was barely mentioned), ...

I got this for Christmas several years ago: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51M7KXA6K5L._SL500_AA300_.jpg So far, it's still in the shrink wrap because no one I know will play it with me, knowing full well that I would defeat them.

Morgoth & Húrin Dialog

I just got the book last week and finished it this weekend. I must say that I totally agree with you regarding the Morgoth/Húrin dialog. When I read Children of Húrin I thought that chapter was possibly the best one in the book. I think it would have added quite a bit to The Silmarillion. Presumably...
