<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I bet the Palantíri will not be included at all. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I'm 99% sure they will be there. It sure seems Sauron thinks Pippin has the Ring and how else would he get the idea except from the palantir. I even noticed in Towers how it is placed in the room behind the balcony where Saruman and Wormy view the troops from.<P>I can't imagine how Denethor's ensnarement through the palantir of Minas Tirith will not be presented. It's such an integral part of understanding this character. I've read that Aragorn will not be looking into the palantir until after Pelennor Fields which makes some sense. It more closely connects cause and effect. Also the danger of it will be very apparent after tje audience sees how Denethor ends up.<P>H.C.
