Okay, answers to this week's questions, and points!

Dark, Queen of Angmar --- 4
Elven Archer --- 4
Johnny's Fan --- 0
Freya Baggins --- 4
Ea --- 1
Nymphadora Tonks --- 4
TheThain --- -2
pirateoftherings --- 4
smeagollum --- 4

Answers:

Book Question: Caradhras appeared red to the Fellowship. Also (as pointed out to me by PotR) hence its name, Redhorn.

Movie Question: Legolas pulls an arrow out of an orc skull, says "Goblins!" and notches an arrow. The first shot you see him do it, he's in the background behind Aragorn.

New Questions for August 10:

Book: What, in Sam's hobbit tales, were the riders of Oliphaunts called?

Movie: What is the design on the clasp of Theoden's cloak?

Meh, I'm a book-person. I'm gonna end up giving most un-qualified guesses on most of the movie questions! :P

Anyway, I just wanted to suggest you post the new questions in the first post as well so they wont get lost in the general chatter. :-)

Hey, I'm really sorry but I can't join in for this contest... like I have been already, lol. :teehee: For certain reasons, I won't be answering any questions, so you can remove my name if you wouldn't mind. :-) Thank you.

Anyone who answered the book question right has my immense admiration! :)

Meldawen, do you mind telling us where (what page or chapter) it's from, and who said it? Thanks!
