LEGOLAS in THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG (2013) dir. Peter Jackson

THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY (2001-2003) dir. Peter Jackson

I should like to save the Shire, if I could - though there have been times when I thought the inhabitants too stupid and dull for words, and have felt that an earthquake or an invasion of dragons might be good for them.

‘There was a tall man with a fair and noble face, dark-haired and grey-eyed, proud and stern of glance. His garments were rich, and his cloak was lined with fur and he had a collar of silver in which a single white stone was set; his locks were shorn about his shoulders.
