That's a very interesting point Telchar, I had read the books before seeing the 1978 movie, and it didn't affect my vision of the characters when I re-read the books. Elrond ala Fonzerelli from the movie just wasn't my vision of the character. Nor was Sam who they made too wimpy I think. But perhaps to those who see the movie then read the book this may happen. Let us hope not. I have seen movies and then read the book, and my vision of it's characters were never the same as the movie.
