Arwen Imladris has just left Hobbiton.
I think that the fandom will die out somewhat. There will always be hardcore fans, but they will mostly be fans of the books, not of the movies. People have loved the books since they first appeared on bookstore shelves 50 years ago. The books are timeless, I think that there will always be book fans. The movies, however are another story.

Will the special effects soon be dated? The gollum in ROTK is already noticably more finished than the one in TTT. In a few years, what will we think of the FX? Will that hurt our music experience? I wouldn't be suprised if in a few years, people will stop looking at LOTR as a great technical achievement.
