Arwen for me too. Great quiz though! I'd love it if you added the exact number of mentions, for curiosity's sake.

Barliman Butterbur should be on here instead of Grima Wormtongue.

@oldandimproved1 thanks. Somehow I skipped right over Barliman Butterbur when I was making this quiz. I fixed it.

There is no penalty for guessing Wormtongue.

I love that Elendil is on here and Arwen is not. I'm also surprised there's no penalty for Beren or Luthien.

I knew that Arwen would kill me (after all, she only sat around at Elrond's council and married Aragorn in the end, nothing more) but ran out of characters. Neither "Grima" nor "Wormtongue" triggered any response though.

ugh. I started with Baggins, then Gamgee. I got booted because gamgee filled in Hamfast, which is outside the top 25.

I feel like some may be trying for quite some time to figure out who some of the gaps are. 1-12 are fairly obvious. But for those who are wondering, I'll put you out of your misery, 13-25 are as follows: Boromir, Eomer, Theoden, Sauron, Denethor, Elrond, Treebeard, Tom Bombadil, Eowyn, Barliman Butterbur, isildur, Galadriel, Elendil.

Fact I now know: LotR is the only book series ever where the only notable love interest isn't among the most mentioned.

Thanks PT fan! I was wondering who I'd missed. I've asked this before and gotten voted down for it without the answer being explained to me - maybe it's obvious but I'm not getting it - why on some quizzes do you get the question marks at the end instead of the correct answers, even if you have the "show missed answers" box checked? Sometimes I'll play a game again if I think I can get them all with more time, but with a lot of games (like this one) I'm all guessed out before the time runs out and I just want to know what the answers are. It's always disappointing when they don't pop up.

Apparently, Sam did not refer to his old Gaffer as much as I remember in the books. And curse you Grima Wormtongue. Your leechcraft ere long would have had me walking on all fours like a beast!

I typed in Samwise but 'Sam' registered without me noticing and I hit a mine with 'Wise', i.e. Celeborn the Wise. What a silly way to lose.

@chopinopus52com - it must be the books, a) because you can't really be mentioned in a film, and b) because Tom Bombadil was never in the movies.

Got Tom Bombadil, he was one of my favourite characters. Blown up by an elf, not an expression I was expecting to use today.

@cardiaccodeman , that isn't true! I always loved the Eowyn/Faramir love story. They barely touched it in the films, but they were both important characters to the story and I thought their love was more subtle but no less strong than the passionate Arwen and Aragorn.
