Cool answers! :) I agree, Sam is my favorite character as well! :) And I love all of those quotes you listed! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky that you got to see the films in theaters! I didn't get into the story until I was 12 and the movies were already all out(though I did have fun watching the films and reading the books). I'd forgotten that about Ent Draughts...maybe it could get me from 5'5'' to 5'8''(which is the height I'd like to be; don't mind the height I have now, since it's average, but I always did want to be 5'8'').
Cool tag! :)
Thanks! Sam is the best. :) I know, I am so glad that I did.

Your first quote is from my absolute favorite moment in the whole story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing! I'm happy you could join the party :-)
Same here. That quote is just perfect, and my favorite by far. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

Nice tag and answers! These are some great quotes, too; I'm not so familiar with the movies yet that I can't just quote them, but hopefully someday soon! :)

Once you watch the movies seven times you will be able to quote it. lol :)

I first heard of Lord of the Rings in Grade 9, circa 75. I think I read it first time in 77, and second time in University when I took a English credit in sci fi.
