Ack! So Many!!Farmer Maggot! A fine old hobbit. And of course his mate, Bombadil. The Barrow-Wight!Glorfindel I can live without, because I'm sure I'm better off with the picture in my head than anything PJ could have produced for Glorfindel. The description of his appearance given by Gandalf is just sublime, and I don't think Figwit riding to the rescue would really have done it justice.Imrahil is probably my most missed character. He's just the man. I would have loved to see him and the swan knights of Dol Amroth, even slightly more than the Dúnedain. It seems as if movieAragorn is the only one left! PJ only knows what they were doing at the time of the War of the Ring. Chasing lost ferrets in the Prancing Pony, maybe. I dearly would love to see Elladan and Elrohir, as well, but again I don't think they would be shown well enough. The last thing we need is three skater elves!
