Lord Of The Rings Question 2
Harry Potter vs. Lord of the Rings - Both Frodo and Harry have scars that won't heal and which they received in somewhat "sinister" circumstances. Were both Harry's and Frodo's scars given to them by the character in the story known as "the Dark Lord," or in other words, the ultimate antagonist?
The correct answer is 'No'
No. While Harry's scar is given to him by Lord Voldemort, Frodo's is given to him the Witch-king of Angmar who, while evil, is not actually "the Dark Lord". The "Dark Lord" in "The Lord of the Rings" is Sauron.
This question, aside from bringing up the subject of scars, also brings up the similarities between the villains in the stories: Lord Voldemort and Lord Sauron. Both are called "The Dark Lord" (Voldemort specifically by his followers) and both are trying to return to power and destroy the one person who can "save the world", as it were.
As far as the scars go, Harry's scar is on his forehead and is in the shape of a lightning bolt. It was given to him when he was 1 year old on the night of Halloween by Lord Voldemort at Godric's Hollow. The scar was caused when Voldemort attempted to perform the Avada Kedavra curse (the killing curse) on Harry, but it backfired and turned Voldemort instead into something less than human. Harry's scar has always let him know when Voldemort was feeling a particularly powerful emotion, such as anger, and always hurts when Voldemort was near him.
Frodo's scar is slightly more straightforward and less mysterious. It was given to him by the Witch-king of Angmar, the leader of the Nazgûl, with a Morgul blade at a disused watchtower on Weathertop. He is then taken to Rivendell, where he is healed by Elrond.
As it wasn't actually Sauron who stabbed Frodo, it cannot be said that it was the "ultimate" villain who gave him his scar.

Lord Of The Rings Question 3
A Test of Knowledge! - According to J.R.R Tolkien, the author of Lord of the Rings, who are the three main characters that the story centers around?
The correct answer is 'Gandalf, Aragorn, Sauron'
This is from the author himself. He describes all of his works in his Letters and address that Gandalf,Aragorn and Sauron are the three main characters as they shape the story. Gandalf is the presence of supreme goodness, Sauron is the presence of evil and Aragorn is approaching his destiny as King of Gondor, which he achieves in the 'Return of the King'. One must realize that Tolkien was a profound Catholic and that LOTR was a story about Catholicism. Gandalf and Aragorn are, according to Tolkien, the two Christ-like characters and Sauron is the Satan-like character. The whole story has to do with Sin, Suffering, Redemption, and achieving Everlasting Life. For further info read Tolkien's Letters.
Lord Of The Rings Question 4

The correct answer is 'an orc spy'

Lord Of The Rings Question 5
Total "Lord Of The Rings" - From where did Andy Serkis get his inspiration for his character's trademark "Gollum, Gollum" cough?
The correct answer is 'a cat coughing up a furball'
It does sound remarkably like a cat coughing up furballs, doesn't it?
Lord Of The Rings Question 6
Ultimate LOTR - 'Return of the King' Part 3 - The Battle of Pelennor Fields is beginning to look hopeless, even despite the battle being joined by the Riders of Rohan. Théoden has been killed under his horse, and his sister-daughter Éowyn, the prince Faramir and the hobbit Merry have all been felled in battle. Just when all seemed desperately hopeless, some ships are seen in the distance on the river Anduin. The men of Gondor are disheartened when they discover that the ships belong to the Corsairs of what land?
The correct answer is 'Umbar'
Ah, but they would not be disheartened for long. Though the ships are those of the Corsairs of Umbar, a land to the south that has been a traditional enemy of Gondor, they are captained by none other than one of our heroes...Aragorn!

The correct answer is 'Sam'
After Frodo is stabbed by a Ringwraith, Strider decides to take Frodo to Rivendell. Sam objects with this line. However, they continue to Rivendell and Frodo's life is saved. Sean Astin says about his charcter, Sam: "He’s not the most sophisticated being in the fellowship, but he makes up for it with his earnest steadiness."
Lord Of The Rings Question 10
Tolkien's "Return of the King" - What was the name of the herb Aragorn used in the "Houses of Healing"?
The correct answer is 'Kingsfoil'
One of my personal favorite parts on the whole series! In this chapter, the nurse Ioreth speaks a phrase she later finds out is only too true! "The hands of a king are the hands of a healer."
