Hail and well met, Oh Grey Wanderer. Welcome to the Downs.
There is nothing wrong with discovering the tales of Middle Earth through seeing the films. I discovered one of my favorite authors after watching "I, Claudius" on PBS many years ago.
I just hope that after reading the trilogy and other works by Tolkien, that they don't get discouraged when they find that few books in the fantasy genre can measure up to the Master.
