Not Who But Where Trivia Quiz

Answer: Hobbiton

In this scene at the beginning of the movie, Gandalf and Bilbo are sitting outside Bag End, smoking their pipes and having fun blowing elaborate smoke rings. It is early evening, and people in the field below are making preparations for Bilbo's 111th birthday party, which is set off by fireworks in the following scene. By "a night to remember", Bilbo does not just refer to the party, but to his plans to disappear and leave the Shire for good.

This particular scene is not present in the book. In the first chapter, "A Long-Expected Party", Bilbo and Galdalf are shown sitting before an open window looking out on the garden, and discussing Bilbo's plans - which are not made clear until later. Bilbo mentions having "a little joke", which obviously refers to his putting on the Ring and becoming suddenly invisible.

Answer: Hobbiton

Confronting Bilbo at Bag End after his disappearance from the party, Galdalf manages to convince the hobbit to part with the Ring, and sees him off. When Frodo enters the house looking for his cousin, Gandalf picks up the Ring from the floor where it had fallen, and puts it in an envelope. By now suspecting the worst as to the object's real nature, the wizard seals the envelope and gives it to Frodo, bidding the hobbit to keep it out of sight. Then he heads off to what later will be revealed to be Minas Tirith.

In the book, the words in the quote are spoken by the wizard when he gives Frodo the Ring, which Bilbo had placed in an envelope. However, the aftermath of Bilbo's party at the end of the first chapter is a much longer scene, and Gandalf's departure from Bag End is much less abrupt.

Answer: Hobbiton

In one of the most crucial episodes in both book and movie - the chapter titled "The Shadow of the Past" - Gandalf returns to Bag End, and reveals to an astonished Frodo the truth about his Ring: the seemingly harmless band of gold is the One Ring forged by the Dark Lord Sauron during the Second Age, an altogether evil artifact. At the end of the episode, after urging Frodo to leave the Shire immediately, Gandalf catches Sam eavesdropping under the window, and hauls him inside - prompting the young gardener to beg the wizard not to harm him. We learn from the following scene that Sam has been chosen to accompany Frodo on his journey to the village of Bree, were they are expected to meet Gandalf at an unspecified date.

Both the dialogue and the events in this particular scene are relatively faithful to the book - in which, however, Sam does not beg the wizard not to turn him into anything unnatural, but asks Frodo to intercede on his behalf. A major difference here is that the whole chapter takes place 17 years after Bilbo's birthday party - when Frodo is about to turn 50. In the movie, however, the events seem to be separated by no more than a few months.

Answer: Rivendell

After a harrowing journey from Bree - during which Frodo is grievously wounded by the Lord of the Nazgûl - the hobbits reach Rivendell, the home of Elvish lord Elrond. There a secret council is summoned in order to decide what to do with the Ring. One of the attendees is Boromir, the eldest son of the Steward of Gondor, who speaks this line in response to Elrond's statement that the ring must be destroyed in the same place as it was forged - the volcano Orodruin (Mount Doom) in the heart of Mordor.

Though neither this line nor the rest of Boromir's speech describing Mordor's deadly dangers are found in the book, the quote has become immensely popular, and sparked a thousand Internet memes - as a simple Google search for "one does not simply" will reveal.

Answer: Rivendell

When the Council of Elrond degenerates into a heated argument, Frodo volunteers to take the Ring to Mordor to put an end to the bickering. A deeply moved Gandalf is the first to pledge his support, followed by Aragorn - who is the one who utters this line - Legolas, Gimli and Boromir. Frodo's three hobbit companions will complete the Nine Companions - a number chosen to be a foil for the Nine Ringwraiths tasked by Sauron with retrieving the Ring.

Aragorn's quote is not present in the book, where the events of the chapter "The Council of Elrond" unfold somewhat differently. In fact, the members of the Fellowship are selected about two months later, a mere seven days before their departure from Rivendell. The powerful scene of the argument within the Council is also an addition, whose purpose is to further emphasize the destructive nature of the Ring.

Answer: Rivendell

At the end of the Council of Elrond, the Fellowship of the Ring is completed with the addition of the three hobbits who accompanied Frodo in his journey from the Shire. Though none of them were summoned to the Council, Sam had listened to the "secret" meeting hiding behind some bushes, while Merry and Pippin (who speaks this particular line) had apparently done the same from behind the hall's pillars.

In the book, Sam reveals his presence at the very end of the Council, and is the first to volunteer as Frodo's companion. Pippin's quote (which originally is "There must be someone with intelligence in the party") appears at the beginning of the chapter "The Ring Goes South", in which the members of the Fellowship are chosen, and the nine Companions depart the safe haven of Rivendell.

Answer: Moria

After their unsuccessful (and nearly fatal) attempt to cross the Misty Mountains through the pass of Caradhras, the Fellowship head for the entrance to the Mines of Moria - though most of the group's members are not happy about it. When they arrive before the doors - whose outline is revealed by moonlight - Gandalf does not immediately understand the meaning of the writing "speak, friend, and enter" - believing that a password of some sort is needed to get the doors to open. It is Frodo who understand that the password is simply the Elvish word for friend, "mellon".

In the book's chapter "A Journey in the Dark", it is Gimli who speaks these words in response to Merry's query about the meaning of the writing on the door. Gandalf recognizes that the young hobbit had been right all along, and blames the suspicious times for his own inability to understand the clue right from the start.

Answer: Moria

One of the trilogy's funniest quotes is uttered by Gimli - whose function in the movies is often that of comic relief - in a situation that is anything but funny. In fact, the nine Companions are trying to reach the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, which will lead them to the exit of the Mines of Moria, while being pursued by orcs led by a Balrog, a fiery demon of the ancient world that has been haunting the Mines for more than a thousand years. In order to reach the Bridge, they have to descend several treacherous flights of steps that require them to leap across gaps. Gimli objects to being tossed across one of these gaps, but when he leaps forward he barely makes it to the other side: Legolas has to grab him by his beard to stop him from falling.

Gimli's quote does not appear in the books, nor does the spectacular chase sequence, punctuated by an ominous choir. The Fellowship realize what is pursuing them just as they reach the Bridge and see the Balrog - whose appearance is enough to fill Gimli, Legolas and Gandalf with fear and hopelessness.

Answer: Moria

The events that transpire as the Fellowship are about to cross the Bridge of Khazad-dûm are among the turning points of the whole trilogy, both on the page and on the screen. After having urged his companions to flee over the bridge to relative safety, the wizard steps in the middle of the span to confront his enemy - a Balrog of Morgoth, brilliantly rendered as a gigantic, horned creature made of what looks like lava. When the bridge shatters and the demon falls into the abyss, he manages to drag Gandalf down with him by coiling his whip around his knees.

It would have been hard for the screenwriters to improve on Tolkien's words, and this particular episode is one of a number in the film trilogy where the author's words are used verbatim. In his brief but epic speech on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, Gandalf acknowledges a kind of kinship with the Balrog - who, like the wizard and Sauron himself, is a spirit of fire, originally one of the Maiar, angelic beings less powerful than the Valar. Balrogs, however, were corrupted by Morgoth, the original Dark Lord: Udûn, meaning "hell", is the Sindarin name of Utumno, Morgoth's first fortress in Middle-earth.

Answer: Lothlórien

After Gandalf's tragic fall, the Fellowship reach the enchanted realm of Lothlórien, where they are welcomed by the Elf-Queen Galadriel and her spouse, Celeborn. One evening, Frodo and Sam are invited by Galadriel to look into her mirror - a silver basin filled with water from a stream that can show "things that were, things that are, and things that yet may be". Both Frodo and Sam look into the mirror and see a number of troubling things - the last of which is Sauron's ever-searching Eye. Frodo then offers Galadriel the Ring.

In the chapter titled "The Mirror of Galadriel", all of Frodo and Sam's visions refer to events that are going to happen later in the story. Frodo's words in the book are almost identical to those in the movie, though he speaks them aloud rather than silently in his mind.

Answer: Lothlórien

Galadriel's temptation by the Ring is one of the story's most powerful passages - which in the movie is emphasized by the use of special effects that show the change that the Ring's power would wreak on the beautiful and wise Elf-Queen. Quite a few staunch fans of the books, however, disagreed with Jackson's choice of turning Galadriel into a gaunt, greenish creature who wears a breastplate and speaks with an unnaturally deep, distorted voice.

While Galadriel's original speech in the book is slightly longer than its movie counterpart, the above quote is identical, as are the words she utters at the end: "I shall diminish, and pass into the West, and remain Galadriel".

Answer: Lothlórien

This famous quote by Galadriel - one of the trilogy's most iconic - closes the episode of the Mirror by lending courage to Frodo, who is afraid and rather doubtful of his ability to fulfill his quest. Before uttering these words, the Elf-Queen reveals to Frodo that she is the keeper of one of the three Elven Rings - Nenya, the Ring of Water - and adds that being the bearer of a Ring of Power means being alone.

Galadriel's final words to Frodo do not appear in the book. Another major change is the timing of Nenya's revelation, which in the book occurs before the temptation scene, when a ray from Eärendil, the Evening Star, strikes the ring on the Lady's finger. Sam, however, though present throughout the scene, remains unaware of the ring, believing it a star.
