The Lord Of The Rings is regarded by many as the most important film of the century. It's hard to argue with this fact. The films were a real achievement by director Peter Jackson, and he won countless awards for his contributions to the films. The films had a clear vision behind them, and every little detail was meticulously thought through. When these movies hit the theaters, they captured the hearts of pretty much everyone who watched them, and everyone was just begging for the sequels after the fist one came out. And when the last movie finished showing, people were incredibly sad to see the journey come to an end.

But how big of a fan were you? If you really enjoyed these movies, then it was hard not to be a huge fan. People who had never even read the books immediately became obsessed with this story, and some even decided to read Tolkien's books as a result. The massive battle scenes, the attention to detail, and the flawless acting all added to the overall appeal of this film. But how well were you paying attention to these movies? Take the quiz to find out how big of a fan you really are...

Question 1

Where Do The Events In Lord Of The Rings Take Place?

Part of what makes Lord Of The Rings so amazing is its rich, deep setting. This world is so intricately thought-out that it made the audience genuinely believed that this world and all of the people on it existed somewhere in the real world. This world comprised of Mordor, Gondor, Rohan, and many other places. There was also places like Rivendell, and other habitations of elves and dwarves. This world had its own special name. But do you remember what it's called?

Question 2

Who Is Entrusted With Carrying The Ring Of Power?

The ring of power a very important item in the Lord Of The Rings movies. There is a huge debate over who should actually carry the ring, in order to take it to the place where it must be destroyed. This is a task that can't be entrusted to anyone untrustworthy, and it's of massive importance. Therefore, the elves, the dwarves and the men all think they should be the ones who carry it. But who ends up carrying the ring of power?

Question 3

What Does Gandalf Smoke Heavily, Often Doing Elaborate Smoke Tricks With?

One of the more humorous elements of the film is Gandalf's love for a smokeable herb. A little bit of humor is important to movies like Lord of the Rings, as things can get way too grim for the audiences sometimes. Gandalf is so obsessed with this smokeable herb that some have even suggested that he's addicted to it. He seems to be very dependent on it. He can also do all kinds of amazing smoke tricks. But what is this thing called?

Question 4

What Species Are Frodo And Bilbo?

Bilbo and Frodo are a completely different species than many of the other humanoid creatures in Middle Earth. This species is actually so rare that the majority of people Frodo meets have never actually seen a member of their race before. They also mistake them for children sometimes. This is because Hobbits are much smaller than the average resident of Middle Earth. They're even smaller than dwarves! But this race plays a major role in the events of Middle Earth. What species is this?

Question 5

What Does Gandalf Bring To The Shire To Aid In Bilbo’s Birthday Celebrations?

Gandalf arrives at the shire chuckling and smoking his pipe, excited to take part in Bilbo's birthday celebrations. He is an old friend of Bilbo's having taken part in many of his adventures, and it only makes sense that such an old friend would make the trip for Bilbo's birthday. He brings with him all kinds of goodies, but most importantly he brings items that all the young Hobbits are obsessed with. What does Gandalf bring to aid in the celebrations?

Question 6

Who Wants The Ring Of Power More Than Anyone?

There is one person who wants the ring of power more than anyone. This is because he bound part of his actual soul into the ring, and without it he will never have full power. If he does ever find the ring again, it will undoubtedly cause the complete destruction of everything everyone holds dear in middle earth. That means that this person cannot find the ring under any circumstances whatsoever. But who is this person who wants the ring more than anyone?

Question 7

Where Must Frodo Take The Ring To Destroy It?

The mission of the Fellowship is simple: Take the ring to Mordor and destroy it, once and for all. Once the ring is destroyed, so too will Sauron's soul and power. After the ring is destroyed, Middle Earth will once again be safe, and its people can live essentially in peace for the rest of their lives. But if they fail, the consequences are almost too deadly to consider. Humans will be wiped out entirely. But where must Frodo take the ring to destroy it?

Question 8

What Is The Name Of The Group Tasked With Protecting Frodo?

After a long discussion, the people who gather at Rivendell decide that Frodo should be the one to carry the ring. This is because Hobbits show great resilience to the ring's influence, and Frodo gives it up freely when asked. It's clear that he's the best choice. But while all of the elves, men and dwarves gather agree that he should carry the ring, they also agree that he needs protection. Therefore, a group forms with the purpose of protecting Frodo. What is the name of this group?

Question 9

Where Do The Hobbits Live?

Early on in the first Lord Of The Rings movie, we see how the Hobbits live in middle earth. This land is free from all the corruption and danger of the rest of the world, and the Hobbits are able to live out their lives in complete safety and relaxation. The Hobbits like to keep to themselves, and are very wary of strangers. They live in very unique houses, and love the simple life. But what is this Hobbit settlement called?

Question 10

Who Does Frodo Live With?

Frodo Baggins is probably the main character in the movies of The Lord Of The Rings, although the movie follows several other characters as well. Frodo Baggins starts off his journey in the Shire, where he lives a normal life with his Hobbit friends. But Frodo has one older Hobbit who has always been an influence on him. This older Hobbit actually adopted him, and told him stories of his own adventures. But who was this character who adopted Frodo?

Question 11

Who Is Frodo’s Gardener Turned Bodyguard?

Throughout Frodo's journey, there was always one Hobbit who stuck by his side, no matter what. There are even some people who suggest that their relationship was somewhat romantic. Frodo's bodyguard was initially his gardener. He was "dropping eaves" on Frodo while Gandalf was explaining to him the severity of the situation regarding the ring. This led Gandalf to force Sam to accompany Frodo on his journey, and he's never looked back since. But what is the name of this bodyguard?

Question 12

True Or False, The Ring Of Power Has The Power To Corrupt The Mind Of Anyone

The ring of power is a seriously powerful dark artifact. After all, it was made by Sauron himself. It has some dark, ominous words written on the side, which start glowing when the ring is exposed to fire. The ring has a few powers, but probably the most dangerous effect of the ring is the way it changes people. People who come into contact with the ring almost always get changed. But is it true that the ring has the power to corrupt the mind of anyone?

Question 13

True Or False, The Ring Of Power Makes The Wearer Invisible

As we've already discussed, the ring of power has some pretty interesting powers. The ring has the power to corrupt the mind of anyone it comes into contact with, and people start getting really attached to the ring. They get obsessed over it, and want to keep it for themselves at any cost. But the ring also has other powers. These powers can give the wearer abilities, but at a cost. But is it true that the ring can make the wearer invisible?

Question 14

True Or False, Even Sauron Cannot See The Wearer Of The Ring Of Power

Sauron is always on the lookout for the ring. He wants it back in his grasp more than anything, and even constructs a tower which has a massive eye. This is definitely one of the more disturbing parts of the Lord Of The Rings movie, and the eye is constantly darting around in a sickening fashion, searching in vain for the ring of power. At the start of the movie, it doesn't know where the ring is. But is it true that Sauron cannot see the wearer of the ring?

Question 15

Frodo’s Mithril Shirt Saves Him From A Heavy Blow From Which Creature?

Frodo is full of surprises, as Gimli remarks after Frodo survives a heavy blow that by all accounts should have killed him. He lives through this impact because he's wearing a rare and expensive shirt of mithril, given to him by the elves to protect him. It's light as a feather, but stronger than any other metal known to man. For this reason, it's perfect for protecting someone like Frodo. But what creature delivers the blow that almost kills him?

Question 16

How Does Frodo Transport The Ring?

Because of the dangers associated with wearing the ring, Frodo must devise a unique method for transporting the ring. He can't just wear it on his finger, as that would attract attention from Sauron and the tower of the eye. The way Frodo wears and transport the ring also allows him to hide it from the public's view, as he must keep the fact that he's in possession of the ring a secret. But how exactly does Frodo transport the ring?

Question 17

True Or False, The Dwarfs And The Elves Get Along Just Fine

Part of what makes the Lord Of The Rings so interesting is the fact that there are so many interesting relationships between the various factions and groups of different species throughout Middle Earth. These factions have long histories of alliances, battles, and disputes with each other. One of the most well-known relationships is the one between the elves and the dwarves. Everyone in Middle Earth knows how the Elves and Dwarves feel about each other. But is it true that they get along just fine?

Question 18

Which Creatures Have Infested The Mines Of Moria?

One of the most interesting parts of the Lord Of The Rings movies is the part where the Fellowship must go to the Mines of Moria in order to make their trip easier. They try to pass the Misty Mountains, but must turn back after Saruman starts casting spells at them. Their only option is to go through the mountains, via the Mines of Moria. But to their horror, the mines are infested with dangerous creatures. What kind of creatures are these?

Question 19

True Or False, Orcs Used To Be Elves

Where did the orcs actually come from? There are undeniably one of the most evil groups in Middle Earth, and they are often used by Sauron to do his evil bidding. They are seen slaughtering humans, attacking the fellowship, and generally being a massive nuisance. They spend more time attacking each other than their enemies, but their sheer numbers make them formidable foes. But is it true that orcs were originally elves, mutilated and tortured into a new form of horrific creature?

Question 20

Which Member Of The Fellowship Carries A Horn?

Each member of the fellowship has their own special personality. Legolas is agile and quick, and is a master of archery. Gimli is incredibly tough, and never gives up. But there is one member of the fellowship who carries a horn. It is his signature item, one that has special meaning for him. He blows the horn right before his death to draw the orcs to him, away from the rest of the fellowship. But which member carries a horn?

Question 21

Saruman Creates An Army Of Improved Orcs - What Are They Called?

Saruman is one of the most despicable characters in the entire series. He is actually a wizard, but he's been corrupted by a dark artifact. He ends up using his powers for evil, creating a vast army that allies with Saruman. His greatest achievement is the creation of a new breed of orcs. These orcs are taller, stronger and more disciplined than the normal Mordor Orcs. They pose a great threat to the fellowship and all of humanity. But what are they called?

Question 22

Before Gandalf Becomes Gandalf The White, What Is He Called?

Gandalf is one of The Lord Of The Ring's most beloved characters. He makes an early appearance in the first film, traveling to the Shire to meet his old friend, Bilbo Baggins. These two have gone on adventures together in the past, but now Gandalf realizes that their past endeavors pale in comparison to what's ahead of them. He can be seen as the architect of the movement against Sauron, and he is a genius. But what was he called before he became Gandalf The White?

Question 23

Where Does Saruman Build His Orc Army?

As previously mentioned, Saruman builds an incredible army of Uruk-Hai with the sole purpose of destroying mankind. He turns his base into a war machine, churning out Uruk-Hai from massive underground spawning grounds. He also starts building advanced devices such as explosives and advanced swords and armor. This base of his is dominated by a massive tower at the center, from which he addresses his troops and gives orders to the marauding Uruk-Hai. But what is this base actually called?

Question 24

Which Group Of Humans Are Famous For Their Horseriding Ability?

Out of all the factions in Middle Earth, one in particular are known for their unsurpassed skill at horse-riding. They are essentially a horse tribe, and they value the lives of their horses so much that they hang their shields on the sides of their horses, rather than using the shields to protect themselves. They are known for having some of the finest cavalry in Middle Earth, and their charges can be devastating. But do you know which group of humans this is?

Question 25

Complete The Legolas Quote: “A Red Sun Rises…”

The Lord Of The Rings movies are filled with some amazing quotes. Almost every character in the movie has a quote that's capable of sending chills down your spine. It's just such an amazing script. One character who has a lot of cool lines is Legolas. Being an Elf, he sees things that many do not, both physically and philosophically. He is aware of the signs that happen all around him. Can you complete the quote when he sees the red sun rise?

Question 26

Where Do A Large Group Of Human And Elvish Warriors Make A Desperate Last Stand Against Saruman’s Uruk-Hai?

The Lord Of The Rings movies are characterized by their many battle scenes. These battles are incredibly epic, and nothing had ever before been witnessed by movie goers at that time. The scale of these battles were astronomical. One of the most exciting of these battles was a last stand made by humans and elves against the Uruk-Hai which had been sent to destroy them all. Although it was one of the bloodiest battles, it ended with the destruction of the Uruk-Hai. Where did this battle take place?

Question 27

Which Group Of Creatures End Up Destroying Saruman’s Base At Isengard?

When Saruman's Uruk-Hai army was destroyed at Helm's Deep, that was a pretty huge blow to his aspirations of power. But an even greater blow came when his base at Isengard was completely destroyed as well. This pretty much took Saruman out of the equation when it came to the future of the Middle Earth. With one evil faction destroyed, the allies could turn their attention fully towards Mordor. But Isengard was destroyed by an unlikely group of creatures. Which were they?

Question 28

True Or False, The Ents Initially Think That Merry And Pippin Are Orcs

The Ents were a very peculiar group of creatures, but they were also one of the most loved additions of the Lord Of The Rings movies. Also known as tree people, these creatures lived in the forest and moved and spoke very slowly. Merry and Pippin end up being captured by these creatures, although it's clear that the Ents mean them no harm. They do, however, spend days discussing a very trivial issue. Is it true that they initially think Merry and Pippin are orcs?

Question 29

Who Is The Amazing Elvish Warrior Who Pledges His Bow To The Fellowship?

There is one warrior in the fellowship who capable of simply incredible feats of agility and martial prowess. This member of the fellowship is an elf, and so is gifted with better reflexes and agility than other races of Middle Earth. But even among elves, this warrior is considered to be gifted in terms of his abilities. He pledges his bow to the fellowship, and this is a weapon with which he has incredible ability. But what is the name of this warrior?

Question 30

Who Is The Stalwart Dwarvish Warrior Who Pledges His Axe To The Fellowship?

Another talented warrior who joins the fellowship is a stalwart dwarf who pledges his axe to the fellowship. This dwarf is a very honorable fellow, and is very proud of his own race. He has no problem with speaking his mind, and is very strong. This person might be smaller than most, but his strength with an axe more than makes up for that disadvantage. Him and Legolas often have competitions about how many orcs they can kill. But who is this warrior?

Question 31

Who Is The Rightful King Of Gondor?

One member of the fellowship is a lot more important than he initially lets on. He has spent his days in obscurity for the most part, but he is a formidable warrior and an honorable man. It is eventually revealed that he is the rightful king of Gondor, the son and heir of Isildur, the same man who famously cut the ring off Sauron's finger, destroying his power forever. But do you remember who this rightful king of Gondor was?

Question 32

True Or False, Aragorn Tries To Betray Frodo By Taking The Ring For Himself

Being in close contact with the ring definitely has noticeable effects on people, even if they're not the ones actually carrying it. Just being in the vicinity of the ring has the power to play with people's minds and turn people against each other. This is evident when many different races argue with each other at Rivendell when deciding what to do with the ring. But there is one instance where one of the fellowship betrays Frodo by trying to take the ring. Is it true that this was Aragorn?

Question 33

What Is Aragorn’s Nickname When Frodo And Sam First Meet Him?

Of course, Aragorn wasn't always the rightful King of Gondor. At least people didn't know that, anyway. For many years, he was a ranger - a cloaked figure whose sworn duty was to guard Middle Earth against evil. This figure looked slightly ominous at first when Frodo and Sam first saw him. Sam actually thought he was trying to kill them and take the ring when he first came into contact with him. But what was the nickname of Aragorn back in this time?

Question 34

What Is The Elite Cavalry Unit Of The Rohirrim?

The Rohirrim are famous for their cavalry, but there is one unit of cavalry that is the cream of the crop in terms of their fighting ability. These warriors are chosen from the best of the best, and they are a formidable fighting force. When the Fellowship comes into contact with them, they are roaming the hills of Rohan, slaughtering orcs left and right. Unfortunately, these efforts are not appreciated by their king. But what is the name of this elite cavalry group?

Question 35

What Is The Name Of The Small Creature That Ends Up Leading Frodo And Sam Into Mordor?

One of the central themes of Lord Of The Rings is that someone who is very small and seemingly insignificant can still change the entire world. This lesson obviously applies to Frodo and the rest of the Hobbits, but it also applies to someone else - a creature that has become tortured by the ring, twisted into something dark and tragic. This creature actually ends up leading Frodo and Sam into Mordor. But what is the name of this creature?

Question 36

What Is The Name Of The Spider That Almost Kills Frodo?

But Gollum is hardly helping Frodo and Sam out of the goodness of his own heart. He has a secret plan to lead the Hobbits to their doom, so that he can take the ring of power for himself. Sam suspects this right from the beginning, but Frodo is seemingly oblivious, and trusts Gollum. Eventually, Gollum leads them straight into the lair of a massive spider that almost kills Frodo and Sam. But what is the name of this spider?

Question 37

What Happens To Elvish Blades When Orcs Are Nearby?

When Frodo, Sam, Merry And Pippin arrive in Rivendell, they are greeted by the elves. These advanced creatures are looked upon in wonder by the Hobbits, who have never seen creatures so stunningly beautiful. The elves recognize that the Hobbits are innocent, and are very kind to them. They give them some much needed help in their journey to destroy the ring. They end up giving many helpful artifacts to the Hobbits, such as elvish blades. But what happens to Elvish blades when orcs are nearby?

Question 38

Who Is The Leader Of The Nazgul, Who “No Man Can Kill?”

Perhaps the greatest enemy in the Lord Of The Rings movies is not Sauron, but his commander-in-chief. This being was one of the nine kings of men who was given the rings many years ago, and was betrayed after Sauron forged the ring of power which controlled the other rings. Since then, he has become a deadly creature, riding a fell beast into battle and wielding a massive morning star as his weapon of choice. But what is the name of this leader of the Nazgul?

Question 39

What Kind Of Huge, Elephant-Like Creatures Are Used In The Final Battle For Gondor?

If you thought the battle for Helm's Deep was epic, you were probably pleasantly surprised to see that the battle for Minas Tirith was even more impressive. This battle was on a huge scale, and had many different factions and armies all converging on the main citadel of Gondor. The armies of Gondor were mostly holed up inside the citadel, and they were besieged by all manner of dangers. The Easterlings brought with them massive elephant-like creatures to battle. What are these creatures called?

Question 40

What Does Eowyn Say When She Kills The Witch King?

The Witch King is a terrible force on the battlefield. He's basically an army in his own rights, swooping down on the citadel of Gondor and destroying swathes of troops all by himself. He can target any foe on the battlefield, and when the Rohirrim arrive, he sets his sights on the king. Swooping down, he throws the king from his horse, before defeating him in hand to hand combat. But out of nowhere, another warrior appears and kills the witch king. Who was this?

Question 41

True Or False, Legolas Brings Down An Oliphant And All Its Passengers All By Himself

The Oliphants might be a terrible force on the battlefield, but for the more skilled warriors on the side of good, even they are no match. Eomer, leader of the Riders of Rohan hurls a spear at the person steering one of these Oliphants, which ends up bringing down the entire Oliphant. Many more tumble down, and the impossible is achieved with a stunning victory. Legolas aids immensely in this battle. But is it true he brings down an Oliphants and all its passengers all by himself?

Question 42

True Or False, Aragorn Was Raised By Elves In Rivendell

Aragorn has a very interesting past. We've already established that he's the true king of Gondor, and that he spent years of his life in the shadows as a Ranger. It was almost like he didn't want to accept his true identity as a king. The reason was because he didn't want to end up like his father, who actually failed to destroy the ring at the vital moment. But is it true that Aragorn was actually raised by elves in Rivendell?

Question 43

Which Of The Following Was NOT A Member Of The Fellowship?

The Fellowship was a merry bunch of people, and each member was a vital part of the fellowship's success. Even Boromir, who ended up betraying Frodo, was a jocular man who ended up sacrificing himself so the rest of them could escape. The bond formed between these individuals was incredibly deep, and even Legolas and Gimli formed an unlikely but close friendship. Being a part of the fellowship was an immense honor. But which of these people was NOT a member of the Fellowship?

Question 44

Who Ends Up Saving Gandalf From Capture On The Top Of The Tower Of Isengard?

Gandalf finds himself in a tight spot when he is captured by Saruman. Gandalf travels to Saruman to warn him of the impending danger with Sauron. But instead of acting surprised, Saruman seems like he knew all along. It was in this moment that Gandalf realized Saruman had turned to evil. After a brief battle, Gandalf is defeated and has his staff broken. He is then trapped on the top of the Isengard Tower. But who ends up saving Gandalf from the tower?

Question 45

Who Corrupts The Mind Of The King Of Rohan?

When the fellowship travels to Rohan, they are greeted by a strange sight. King Theoden has seemingly become completely senile and grey, not even responding to the most simple questions. It's obvious that one of his close advisers, a pale faced man, is corrupting him and controlling him somehow. In the end, Gandalf The White ends up performing an exorcism of sorts on Theoden to rid him of this evil influence. But what is the name of this evil man who corrupts Rohan's king?

Question 46

True or False: Frodo Throws The Ring Into Mount Doom By Himself

The climax of the movie is when Frodo finally arrives at Mount Doom. After all that he's been through, he's somehow made it into the heart of Mordor, through the Orcs, and into the only place where the ring can be destroyed. He finds himself standing over the molten lava inside the volcanic interior of the mountain, and he takes out the ring and holds it above the cliff face. But is it true that Frodo throws the ring in with no aid?

Question 47

Why Do The Orcs Allow Frodo And Sam To Escape Capture In Mordor?

Before Frodo and Sam reach Mount Doom, there were so many instances where all seemed lost. They almost got eaten by Shelob, there were times when they seemed cornered by the Nazgul, and they were even captured by orcs at one point. Frodo was taken to the top of an orc tower, where he would be kept until Sam broke in and rescued him. They were then faced with the difficult task of escaping. But why do the Orcs allow them to escape?

Question 48

How Did Gondor Send For Aid From Rohan?

Gondor and Rohan have a rocky relationship, and that's putting it lightly. The two main human groups have long had an alliance with each other, but that relationship is marred with countless disputes and quarrels they've had over the years. Gondor doesn't even want to ask for Rohan's help in the upcoming battle at Minas Tirith, until someone takes it into their own hands. The call for aid is sent, and Rohan comes to their aid. But how exactly does Gondor send for aid from Rohan?

Question 49

How Did Sauron Lose The Ring Of Power Initially?

Sauron's loss of his ring of power was a blow he never really recovered from. When he lost the ring, it was at a time when all seemed lost for Middle Earth. This is actually the beginning of the Lord Of The Rings movies, where a massive battle takes place - The Battle Of The Last Alliance. In this battle, Elves led by Elrond fight alongside men in a last ditch effort to destroy Sauron. But how does Sauron lose his ring?

Question 50

Complete The Epic Line From Gandalf: “You Shall Not…”

Gandalf is another very valuable warrior in the story of Lord Of The Rings. He protects the rest of the Fellowship on more than one occasion, and if it weren't for him, Frodo would have never made it to Mordor with the ring. There is one famous instance were Gandalf makes a stand against a Balrog in the depths of the Mines Of Moria, standing alone on a narrow bridge while shouting an epic phrase. Can you finish the last word?
