Characters / Middle-earth Film

aka: The Lord Of The Rings Film Trilogy

Many characters in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies diverge, to one extent or another, from the original texts in content and details.^note For example: Aragorn in the book was raised expecting his birthright, and worked towards achieving it from a young age without any doubts. Aragorn in the film wants nothing to do with his destiny, although post-crowning he aligns somewhat closer to his book version. Due to this, the two trilogies have been given their own film-specific index and folders.
