Hello! Do you have a favorite character from each race of Middle Earth?
Oooooh noooooo another really hard question to answer! Oh this is difficult... One character? One?????
By the way, thank you so much for the ask :) I'm just having trouble choosing from among THE BEST CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME. It's taking a lot of effort on my part from just...listing all of Tolkien's characters... But you said one.
Alright, well, I think I HAVE to choose Éowyn for the race of Men, seeing as I identify with her more than practically any character ever written.
And I'll choose Frodo for the Hobbits. I love him. I will always love him.
And I'll choose Finrod for the Elves. But there are so many Elves that I love! But my goodness, I do love Finrod.
And I'll choose Gimli for the Dwarves. Gimli is the best! I want to be Gimli's friend RIGHT NOW.
Are we doing Maiar? Then it's obviously Gandalf. Gandalf is one of my favorite characters of all time.
And if we're doing Valar, then I'll choose Nienna.

Bernard Hill said once that he came up with the line, “No parent should have to bury their child.” And, no, it’s not canonical, but it’s absolutely what the story needed. It’s what the character needed. Hell, it’s what we needed. It’s a better and more compelling and more relatable and more moving and more empathetic film for having that emotion expressed. It was such a simple idea, but such an important one. And we needed him to get it. May the simbelmynë always bloom on your place of rest, Mr. Hill.

Bernard Hill was a legend. He infused Theoden with so much warmth and strength. His kindness to Merry, his love for Eowyn, his grief for his son, his guilt over his failures of king, yet his aura of power, his commanding presence, and his undeniable might as a warrior, made Theoden a compelling and beautiful character.

"My body is broken. I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed."
Thank you for giving us the Theoden we needed, Bernard Hill. Join your fathers and rest in glory. ❤️🙏😔
