legolas's hair - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Is Cibbwen referring to the bit in the Fellowship where Legolas shot down the winged steed of the Nazgul? Because there it says his head was dark and crowned with stars...but that doesn't specifically say his hair, and anyway it was at night time. So it still could be blonde.

And about that reference to the Hobbit. I have scoured the Hobbit, and the closest thing I could find was there was a crown of leaves etc on his head...but it didn't say his golden head or whatever others have said. Does anyone have a full quote? And has anyone had similar trouble trying to find the reference?
