Can I share Elrond with you please? Legolas is very pretty, but sadly rather too young for me. Now Elrond is for grown-ups

Wait, I forgot I made a really good convert over Christmas. I teach in a secondary school, and one of the silly boys in my year 8 class (age 12 or 13) who is usually a pain in the neck was going on...

Cirion, I saw the movie again last night, and had a good look at the sword in the scene on Caradhras - and it looked like a different one. The hilt of Narsil seemed a bit longer. So maybe they will...
