But Peter Jackson accomplished the impossible and it made me an instant fan of High Fantasy. Tolkien had created such a vivid and complex world, with very fantastical descriptions cemented in Norse and Middle-English myth and folklore that most people did not think could be done justice on the big screen. I was instantly sucked into the world of Elves, Dwarves, Men and Orcs. But that feeling soon vanished when the opening showed the War of the Last Alliance. I was only eleven years old at the time and I was much more of a Harry Potter fan, so I thought Gandalf and Frodo were just copies of Dumbledore and Harry respectively. I had no idea what to expect from the movie as I had not read the books or seen anything about it. I remember vividly how my dad took my sister and me to see The Fellowship of the Ring.
