In The Hobbit, the Anglo-Saxon futhorc was used in the publication with few changes ; in The Lord of the Rings a new system of runes, the Cirth, was devised.

Some examples of Cirth writings are the inscription on Balin's tomb in Moria and the inscriptions on the top of the title pages for The Lord of the Rings.

Three modes for Cirth are described in detail in Appendix E of The Lord of the Rings, and others are known to exist or have been developed by enthusiasts.

Gygax maintained that he was influenced very little by The Lord of the Rings, stating that he included these elements as a marketing move to draw on the popularity of the work.

An example is Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Then Wollheim changed everything when he brought out an unauthorized paperback edition of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in three volumes — the first mass-market paperback edition of Tolkien's epic.

He called Professor Tolkien in 1964 and asked if he could publish Lord of the Rings as Ace paperbacks.

Tolkien said he would never allow Lord of the Rings, his great work, to appear in ' so degenerate a form ’ as the paperback book.

Eventually, he supported paperback editions of The Lord of the Rings and several of his other texts, but it is difficult to say whether he was persuaded to do so by the manifest economic wisdom evident in sales of the Ace editions.

This technique was used by, among many others, Billy Boyd and Viggo Mortensen in The Lord of the Rings.

In 2001 Enya recorded " May It Be ", which was featured in the first installment of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Fellowship of the Ring, and was her second consecutive single to enter the German charts at number one.

It includes most of her hits from 1988 to 2008 including a new version of " Aníron ", a song created for " The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring " in 2001.

Enya has performed several songs relating to J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, including 1991's " Lothlórien " ( instrumental ), and 2001's " May It Be " ( sung in English and Quenya ), and " Aníron " ( in Sindarin )— the latter two, which she composed, appearing in Peter Jackson's movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and its soundtrack album.

Jacob Grimm in his Deutsches Wörterbuch deplored the " unhochdeutsch " form Elf, borrowed " unthinkingly " from the English, and Tolkien was inspired by Grimm to recommend reviving the genuinely German form in his Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings ( 1967 ) and Elb, Elben was consequently reintroduced in the 1972 German translation of The Lord of the Rings.

Along similar lines was the legend " Frodo Lives ", referring to the protagonist of The Lord of the Rings.

The novel The Lord of the Rings includes more Hobbits as major characters, Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck, as well as several other minor hobbit characters.

Three of the four principal hobbit characters in The Lord of the Rings ( Frodo, Pippin and Merry ) certainly had Fallohide blood through their common ancestor, the Old Took.

Frodo becomes in some ways the symbolic representation of the conscience of Hobbits, a point made explicitly in the story " Leaf by Niggle " which Tolkien wrote at the same time as the first nine chapters of The Lord of the Rings.

In Peter Jackson's films The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ( 2001 ) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ( 2003 ) Bilbo is played by Ian Holm, who had played Frodo in the BBC radio series 20 years earlier.

Samwise is one of the chief characters in Tolkien's novel The Lord of the Rings, in which he fills an archetypical role as the sidekick of the primary protagonist, Frodo Baggins.

The relationship between Frodo and Sam is, in many respects, at the heart of The Lord of the Rings.

In The Fellowship of the Ring, the first book of The Lord of the Rings, Frodo Baggins and his companions Sam, Merry, and Pippin encounter Goldberry and Tom in the Old Forest near Buckland.

It also helped Frodo to tame Gollum temporarily in The Lord of the Rings.

In The Lord of the Rings he met Frodo Baggins and his friends in the Shire.

In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo and his companions arrive at Bree almost immediately after they leave the Shire, giving the impression that less time separates the two events than is described by Tolkien.

Music critic Jeff Bond writes, " The final result was one of the most unusual Star Trek movie themes ," consisting of a six-note theme and variations set against a repetitious four-note brass motif ; the theme's bridge borrows content from Rosenman's " Frodo March " for The Lord of the Rings.

In their parody of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, an encounter by Frodo and Galadriel is thrown off when Saunders delivers her line: " I have passed the test, and now I will diminish, and go to the West and remain Galadriel ", to which French responds: " You will what, sorry?

Roddy McDowall, who had a long distinguished career including as the regular star of the Planet of the Apes series ; Ron Howard, who, in addition to being the star of the long running Happy Days television series, became an Oscar-winning director in adulthood ; Elijah Wood, who continued his career successfully into adulthood from playing Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings film series and starring as Ryan Newman in the T.

Tolkien's description of the physical layout of the city of Minas Tirith itself is followed relatively faithfully in Peter Jackson's film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, ( the city also has a cameo in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, when Gandalf goes there to discern the identity of Bilbo's ring, and it also can be seen in the distance for a few seconds when Faramir takes Frodo, Sam, and Gollum to Osgiliath in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ) Jackson's version interprets the top of the rock as flattened and paved, and also the location for the coronation of Aragorn.
