Be careful what you wish for...

I wish that Feanor hadn't listened to Morgoth's lies.

"Ah! Elbereth, Gilthoniel!" Cries Gandalf. Then, he grants thw wish.

Feanor doesn’t' hear the lies of Morgoth because he is deaf. He no longer becomes a craftsman and decides that he would rather be a taxman for reasons unknown to anyone. He refuses to learn sign language or lip-reading and so doesn’t comprehend anything and is thus exiled from polite society.

I wish Gandalf had got a new hat when he became Gandalf the white.

Granted! Gandalfs gets white sombrero. But with it comes ranch which needs looking after, so Gandalf settles down and becomes a cowboy. The Gondor armies are now supplied with perfect meat with Gandalf's G brandmark, they are well-fed, but leaderless, and they lose the war

I wish there were other titles in Sauron's service besides his 'Mouth', like, Nose of Sauron, Ears of Sauron, Armpit of Sauron and maybe even Buttocks of Sauron too

Your wish is granted. But they all quarrel over supremacy and career oportunities, so each body member promoted to be new Head lasts no more than two days. Eventually, least agile and clever Mouth is left to be Sauron's sole representative by the time of the war of the Ring.

I wish Thorin was less stubborn and would make an alliance with Thranduil during his captivity in Mirkwood

Your wish is granted. But an alliance of Dwarves and Elves slaughters Bard and his soldiers to recover the Arkenstone.

I wish Tolkien wrote more about Sauron's dealings with Saruman.

Your wish is easily done. It's pretty anticlimactic though; the pair of them just play endless games of golf.

I wish I possessed a first edition of the Noldolante.

I wish I possessed a first edition of the Noldolante.

Grudgingly granted. But when you possess the book, you find that in book form you cannot do a lot, not even read yourself and so you fall into despair.

I wish the Nazgûl had turned on Sauron and called him a nasty man.

Granted. They call him so and he falls into depression, eventually hanging himself from the Barad-Dur. The Witch-King becomes the new Dark Lord of Middle-Earth, and all hope is lost.


I wish orcs didn't smell so bad.
