I like the old Hobbit who is constantly sweeping the path outside his home. I know he's not really an invention per se, but still...

I know who you are talking about Eomer. I think that represents a hobbit in the book, but not entirely sure, but I second that. Just stands in his doorway and sweeps outside, haha.

I believe that he is named as Odo Proudfoot in the cast list. He is the one who says "Proudfeet" at Bilbo's party.

Oh, yes, the doe-eyed Rohirrim children are adorable! And they also double as the (still) doe-eyed Hobbit children Bilbo is telling his story at the party in FotR. Did anyone else notice that?

I agree, but my favourite Rohirrim are 1) When the Uruk-hai and Orcs carrying Merry and Pippin are attacked there's this one guy who rides past and does this rerally spiffy thing with heis bow, and 2) after the Warg Attack they do a litle panning-type shot and this guy just rises out of the hill and stabs something.

Oh, and 3) one of the Orcs at Helm's Deep waving the flag around like he's never had one before, he just looks so funny!

I would have loved to see Imrahil in the RoTK EE and maybe even "Old Forlong the fat." One of my favorite chapters in the book was "Minas Tirith" the part at the end where Pippin and Bergil watch the men from the outlying areas march into Minas Tirith, and it would have been cool if that had made the cut.

Question, was that Ted Sandyman in the Green Dragon in the Fellowship EE?

The young sad-eyed dark-haired beauty watching I assume her beloved ride off to his death with Faramir.

And I like Madril as I used his outfit, and one of an exhausted Ithilien Ranger in the background at Henneth Annûn as a model.

I liked Lurtz too.

I like the guy who takes Hama's place in tt...when theoden says "...draw your swords" he looks like he just got kicked in the face.

I also like the hobbit in Fotr ee, he picks his ear and he cant get the "stuff" off his finger..and then they come back to another scene of him and hes still trying to get it off.

I like Morwen, the woman who sent her children to Edoras. She was so pretty!

Lets see....

-Of the Rohirrim, the guy who gets ale kicked all over him when Merry & Pip are drunk dancing on the table.

-Of the Gondorians, the sad dark-haired woman who watched as (I assume) her husband rode to his death with Faramir.

-Of the orcs... in Mordor it was the one in Minas Morgul that was outside and was suprised when the orc corpse falls in front of him.

-Of the orcs... in Isengard it has to be the one who "birthed" Lurtz and was crushed to death.

-Of the Hobbits it was the one laughing and hanging on the keg.

And of course that carrot munching man in Bree who didn't have enough sense to get in out of a dounpour.

My fav character from PJ's imagination would have to be the adorable little archer orc in the Mines of Moria. His name is Wallace, and I have adopted him. *grins*

I like the orc in TTT who wanted to eat Merry and Pippen..."What about them? They're fresh..."

Some of my favorites are orcs...There is the one who at the siege at Minas Tirith shouts "Catapults" and the other who at Osgiliath makes that call (analogous to the raptor call in Jurrasic Park) that is unintelligible but it's what I consider to be the orc mating call.

I guess I just like those voices on the two orcs.

The elven-smith who reforges Narsil.

IMO he leaves Figwit in the ashes.

I just thought of another! The completely random Rohirrim dude that walks by with a greyhound in RotK when they're all standing around in Meduseld trying to decide what to do. I've always thought that part hilarious, because they're all serious and "we've won the battle, now we have to decide how to win the war," and this guy just walks by with a dog. Wierd sense of humor, I guess.

Ah, that's a good one. And while we're on the topic of hobbits who probably aren't exactly invented, I'll cast one of my votes for the hobbit that interrupts a promising moment to grab a cupcake & stuff it in his mouth in FotR .
I'd also have to say Lurtz, if only because he's the only guy I know that can get both his right arm & his head chopped off without losing a drop of blood .
