How on earth can Haldir be anyones favorite character? He's only in the first book and he doesn't have very much screentime either? I want an explanation.
@TheEmilySnape So you guys base your favorite character on who is acting and good-looks? I like Craig Parker too, I think he's very hot and I love him as Darken Rahl, I just thought it was weird that so many people chose such an insignificant character as their favorite when there are SO MANY other great actors and intresting characters too pick from in these books/movies.

"-Oh dont get me started that little hussey! Did you know she went to school with Glinda from the wizard of Oz, oh caused nothing but trouble with her la-di-da prissy good looks and never have a bad hair day elvin genes. Gave all us efeminite males a bad name. Pfff just because I had a crush on a the same quarterback. Still I wasnt the one that ended up with the name gonoreah Galadrial now! Wont go into it the trollops looking over."
Try telling that to anyone who didn't drown because the boats were ELVEN-made. They can't sink or capsize. They look delicate but they're strong and sturdy as Noah's Ark. It's the Elvish "enchantment of virtue" that goes into their making. That same enchantment makes Elf arrows fast in flight and always on target. It's also what makes an Elf sword able to cut through orc's armor like it was paper, and makes their ropes tie and untie on command.
well the reason u see haldir die at helms deep is cuz pj wanted a hero to lead the elves in battle. in fact after he leads the fellowship to lorien he is never mentioned by tolkien in the books. so its only drama for the movies boyz and girls
Pete should consider himself lucky that Legolas killed him before I did. I love him, but every time I watch that, I'm like, "PJ, I'm going to kill you!" He didn't just kill him, he killed him in frickn' slow mo! I don't think it's fair that Haldir had to die to have "drama". Haldir was second coolest next to Legolas.
@Celeblain Guys, Jackson explains that in one of the commentary tracks. They didn't have the energy to find "more gorgeous men" (The writher girls jokes that they ran out of them) to play Elronds sons, so they put an elven army in helms deep instead (to describe that new human/elves alliance) , and they had to make the battle feel like it mattered, so they had to sacrifice Haldir. To give the battle an inpact. They couldn't just kill extras. You guys just aren't nerdy enough!
I so love Craig and Haldir and I didn't want to see the guy die either - but, and, I think this is from IMDB trivia, Haldir dies because they needed a death to heighten the drama on Two Towers since none of the main characters die.
I'm pretty sure I read that all the Elves who fought at Helm's Deep (except Legolas) died--they were the best fighters, so they were put in the most dangerous spot. I think the death of Haldir is important to show the cost and pain of war. It was somebody we knew and liked, as well as an Elf who would otherwise live forever, so his death means more to us and it's sadder.
@Omboth In the books though you read about the campaigns the elves are fighting elsewhere, which dont get mentioned in the movies. This way they got to expand on that whole aspect of the - considerable - background action without being literal.
Exactly what a book did you read? This Russian author fanfick? Because elves in Helms Deep was fully Jackson invention, only elf there was Legolas (and partially Aragortn, of course :))
@selchic1 Which I think is redundant. We KNOW Elves can die in battle, we've read the books and seen the first movie. We get it. Killing of Haldir to show something we know is just repetitive.
LOL! (Maybe he's just miffed that he didn't get his own boat.)
BTW, I'm watching Craig in the tv show Legend of the Seeker and he plays the bad guy which is so odd, cause I'm like, but he's Haldir! Nice lovely elf...
I haven't been able to see Legend of the Seeker, the local station claims to carry it, but doesn't *pouts* I wonder how long it'll be before it's on dvd.....
yeah!!! that's so unfair!!!!! though the death scene was pretty much arousing for me) he played awesome. I wish there was more Haldir in the movie though, of course. He's the hottest elf definitely!!!
True...it's also a little disappointing that the character is only mentioned once in The Fellowship of the Ring book and then Tolkien never mentions him again. Too little known about the character I think.
I think it's because they needed a main person in the battle to die and they wouldnt let Gimli, Aragon, or Legolas die. So I guess they needed someone sexy to die. Or they could've been jealous? ;) hahaha.
i think its the hair... and the ears... and the eyes... and definately the elvish and westron speach... kay, fines, its bloody everything. me wants to huggle him!!
oh..you mean you want to fuck him? hell yeah i sure would too, i bet he's good in the bed. oh he's soooo cute, he always turns me on when i see this sexy elf. Craig Parker you are the best!!!!
Can we all just agree that he is absolutely gorgeous?
