Elven Birth, That Trailer...
Tinowien

Strider, I don't believe Elves are born as adults, because that would bring up some physical issues (Elf women would need some serious hips, for example.) Elves don't age, as Tolkien says, but they mature, growing wiser and fairer. Plus there is that line about Bilbo's mithril chainmail, 'forged for some half-grown Elven prince.'

And the trailer. Return of the King is going to have me in tears. Samwise's line at Mount Doom... oh, oh, oh. No words to describe what I felt at that!
Plus this Legolas fan was overjoyed to see that he had the first line in the trailer, and also looks rather lovely in that hood. I'll get myself to my Orlando Bloom forum now and leave you all alone.
