Watching Lord of the Rings with Arthur, pt. 1
(Today we got through about the first hour and ten minutes, up to their arrival at Rivendell.)
Initial observations, during Galadriel's opening narration: "This must be reeeaally old."
Upon first seeing Frodo: "That must be Bilbo's son." (Close, nephew.)
"When do we get to see the wizard do some magic?" (Answer: not very often!)
"He turned invisible! Just like Harry Potter!"
"How many rings are there in total?"
"Nine for the humans, seven for the dwarves, three for the elves, and the One Ring, so twenty all together."
"Oh. They're going to need to find A LOT of rings."
"She did a Patronus. A water Patronus!"
"Who IS the Lord of the Rings?"
"Sauron."
"But he's dead! And the ring passed from person to person and all that, like it said."
"Yeah, well. Remember how at the start of Harry Potter they thought Voldemort was dead?"
"Yes..."
"Was he really?"
"No..."
"Same deal here.
"Oh. When will he REALLY be dead, at the end of the movie?"
"Wait and see."
