The Inklings was an informal literary discussion group associated with the University of Oxford, England, for nearly two decades between the early 1930s and late 1949.The Inklings were literary enthusiasts who praised the value of narrative in fiction, and encouraged the writing of fantasy.

9 Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) Tolkien was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II on the 28 th of March in 1972.

10 Notable works The Silmarillion The Hobbit The Lord of the Rings

11 Tolkien is the "father" of modern fantasy. After his death, Tolkien's son Christopher published a series of works based on his father's extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts «The Silmarillion», «The Hobbit» and «The Lord of the Rings», other tales, poems, fictional histories, invented languages, and literary essays about an imagined world called Arda, and Middle-earth. «The Lord of the Rings» Tolkien at first intended «The Lord of the Rings» to be a children's tale in the style of «The Hobbit» «The Silmarillion» Tolkien wrote a brief Sketch of the Mythology" which included the tales of Beren and Lúthien and of Túrin. «The Hobbit» A book which he had written some years before for his own children, came in 1936.

12 The Lord of the Rings is an epic fantasy novel The story began as a sequel to Tolkien's earlier children's fantasy novel The Hobbit (1937), developed into a much larger work. It was written in stages between 1937 and 1949, much of it during World War II.

13 The Fellowship of the Ring The Two Towers The Return of the King The three volumes were entitled

14 Ian Holm as Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Elijah Wood as Frodo in Peter Jackson's live-action version of The Lord of the Rings Bag End

15 One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. One Ring Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarflords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

17 Andy Serkis as Gollum and Smeagol Mount Doom Orodruin

18 Ian McKellen as Gandalf the White in Peter Jackson's live-action version of The Lord of the Rings. Christopher Lee as Saruman

19 Cate Blanchett as Galadriel: An Elf and the co-ruler of Lothlórien Lothlórien

20 Arwen as played by Liv Tyler The filming location for Rivendell was Kaitoke Regional Park in Upper Hutt, New Zealand

21 Mordor Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn in Peter Jackson's live-action version of The Lord of the Rings Orlando Bloom as Legolas in Peter Jackson's live-action version of The Lord of the Rings

22 One Ring to rule them all. All for One Ring and One Ring for all. A Hobbit Must Fulfill His Destiny. One Ring Fits All. The Legend Comes to Life You will find adventure, or adventure will find you. One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. Fate Has Chosen Him. A Fellowship Will Protect Him. Evil Will Hunt Them. Middle Earth comes alive... Even the smallest person can change the course of the future. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that we are given. Power can be held in the smallest of things... Sauron is a large, human-like form during the forging of the Ring and up to his losing it, then being "limited" to the disembodied Eye form throughout the rest of the storyline. He is portrayed by Sala Baker. The Eye of Sauron as portrayed in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movie trilogy as Sauron's form in the Third Age

23 Dialogue Frodo: I will take the Ring to Mordor. Though... I do not know the way. Gandalf: I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear. Aragorn: If, by my life or death, I can protect you, I will. You have my sword. Legolas: And you have my bow. Gimli: And my axe. Boromir: You carry the fates of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done. [Sam appears from behind some bushes.] Sam: Here! And Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me! Elrond: No, indeed! It is hardly possible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret Council and you are not. [Merry and Pippin run into the Council meeting] Merry: Oi! We're coming too! You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us! Pippin: Anyway, you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission. Quest. Thing. Merry: Well that rules you out, Pip. Elrond: Nine companions... So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring. Pippin: Great. Where are we going? Frodo: It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill [Gollum] when he had the chance. Gandalf: Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times; but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.
