Quiz: Which character would you be in Lord of the Rings?
As a little kid growing up, the dog-eared pages of my favourite fantasy books, from Harry Potter to Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl and Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series, served as my most beloved portals of escape and endless adventure.
It was only during my adult years in university during a rainy weekend in Cape Town that I discovered the magic and beauty of JRR Tolkien’s epic The Lord of the Rings trilogy in the form of the films. It was love at first sight, as I watched Gandalf arrive at The Shire in The Fellowship of the Ring, shed tears riddled with deep feeling at Samwise Gamgee’s moving speech in The Two Towers, and gained compassionate, empathetic understanding for Gollum as parts of his tragic story were revealed as the story progressed.
Now, you can experience all of that and much, much more on Showmax, with all three Hobbit movies and all three Lord of the Rings movies ready to binge-watch.
However, before you embark on what is sure to be an adventure of a lifetime, here is a quiz to determine which Middle Earth character you are!
