That's exactly what I was thinking. The Downs was around before the movies were, and people came and loved it.

I don't think this glorious graveyard will deminish, due to the fact that most of us are extremely loyal to the books, since they were our first breath. The movies are done, and will probably be redone in a decade or two, but the books are timeless, and will always draw more people here.

I myself was drawn in by the books, although I was only in the Hobbit when the movies came out. I still consider myself a book fan first, but that really doesn't matter. The whole Tolkien style is what fascinates and keeps us, and I know I will always come here.
