Well said AinurOlorin [In reply to] Can't Post
I agree wholehearedly As powerful as Galadriel is, she shouldn't be the ONLY one who as no trouble getting through Dol Guldor. Either they all make it without trouble, or they all have trouble, simply because it makes sense. Galadriel is an elf, Radagast, Gandalf and Saruman are wizards, not human sorcerer's.
I too hope the filmmakers will handle carefully and with consideration. Mind you, they're are quite a few things they need to handle carefully and with consideration, but I won't mention here, otherwise things might go way off topic.
