Characters I Liked So Much More Than I Thought I Would In The Books Vs. The Movies: Legolas, Gimli, Saruman, Arwen, Treebeard, Faramir, Gloín, Every Single Pony, All the Hobbits, All The Elves, All The Dwarves, Tom Bombadil and Goldberry, Misbehaving Trees, Denethor

Characters That I Liked In The Films and That I Also Like In The Books But For Totally Different Reasons And They Might As Well Be Different Characters But My Love For Them Has Been Enriched: Frodo, Bilbo, Merry, Pippin, Galadriel, Gollum, Eowyn and Eomer, the Orcs, the Balrog, my boy Sauron obviously
