You're doing better than I did last time I tried these :) Here's some questions on the theme "seven":

1. What ravine was barred by seven gates?
2. What Third Age city had seven gates?
3. What were the Seven Hoards?
4. Give another name for the Seven Stars.
5. What major character in LotR had seven toes on each foot?
6. What ultimately happened to the Seven Rings of the Dwarves?
7. What were the Seven Stones?
