Now, I have watched this scene a few times, in close up and freeze frame, but I can't see a ring. I just wondered if any of you eagle-eyed mistake spotters had noticed anything?
Actually, although there is no ring there (you can see Narya at the very end of RotK, when Gandalf has also mysteriously recovered the staff shattered by the Witchking) It is just a string, perhaps something to hold his cloak-sleeve in place, or something attached to his staff. Either way, you CAN see it wrapped around or hanging down on, one of Gandalf's fingers, and then the next shot, it's not there and/or it's shifted.
