You should read the books. Or at least watch the movies again.
LOL I just read the links and feel like a total dork. Jeesh.
So I guess the end of the movie was really the end of the story (and either the book will tell me where they went, or I don’t need to know) and for whatever reason they made the Lord of the Rings movies first instead of the Hobbit. OK, I can live with that.
Go ahead and laugh at me :) I can live with that too. You shoulda heard me when I figured it out!
(seriously if someone could just tell me where they went cuz I have a feeling that’s at the end of the book(s) and if I start at the beginning it’s going to be a long road to answer one question which seemed so important until this morning)
