Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Does this (version of) Haldir actually even exist in the books?

[edit] and if so does he die

Does this version of Haldir exist in Tolkien's books? And if so does he still die in the war?

ok I'm realizing I'm probly not going to get an answer... (ChildOfMorella 17:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC))

And everything here has been submitted by me (ChildOfMorella 18:21, 27 February 2006 (UTC))

- yes he does

In the article it says that the film version of Haldir died being struck (first on the arm which is correct and then) to the head, which I think is incorrect. He was in fact struck to upper back or neck, probably severing his spine. (written by "Lolinde")

And to the question above, Haldir does exist in the books also, but it's not the same version of Haldir as in the films. In the books, Haldir (and the elven warriors he is leading in the film) never go to Helm's Deep. However in the books, orcs are attacking the borders of Lothlorien and Rivendell as well as Rohan and Gondor in attempt to destroy all the free people (men, dwarves and elves) of middle earth. So he was doing his fair share of the fighting I'm sure, defending his own people instead of the people of Rohan. (written by "Lolinde")
