In Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "The Hobbit" prequel trilogy, Galadriel is played by Cate Blanchett.

Blanchett was the first returning cast member from "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy to be cast in the films, even though her character does not appear in the novel.

Jackson concurred, stating that "one of the drawbacks of "The Hobbit" is its relatively lightweight compared to "LOTR" ["The Lord of the Rings"] ... There's a lot of sections in which a character like Gandalf disappears for a while – he references going off to meet with the White Council, who are actually characters like Galadriel and Saruman and people that we see in "Lord of the Rings".

Many of the songs feature lyrics in Quenya, one of the fictional languages developed by Tolkien, despite the fact that the Elves during the Third Age communicated in Sindarin.

Gildor's ancestry appears to be a loose thread that Tolkien never properly tied up. Gildor calls himself "Gildor Inglorion of the House of Finrod". At the time Tolkien was writing this, the name "Finrod" referred to the third son of Finwë, and this Finrod had a son, Inglor Felagund. Since "Inglorion" means "son

Inversely, the hobbits' complacency and lack of ambition appears to make them less susceptible to the Ring's promises of power, as is seen in Frodo and Sam, both of whom are able to handle the Ring for extended periods of time. It is of note that hobbits are not totally immune to the Ring's effects, however, as is seen most clearly in Frodo, Bilbo and, arguably, Gollum.

The Ent attack on Isengard was inspired by "Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane" in Shakespeare's "Macbeth". Charles Dickens' "The Pickwick Papers" has likewise been shown to have reflections in Tolkien. One of the greatest influences on Tolkien was the Arts and Crafts polymath William Morris. Tolkien wished to imitate Morris's prose and poetry romances, along with the general style and approach; he took elements such as the Dead Marshes in "The Lord of the Rings" and Mirkwood in "The Hobbit" from Morris.
