Bard Meets Legolas

Legolas (Orlando Bloom) And Bard (Luke Evans)

Legolas (orlando bloom) and bard (luke evans)

Films: Bard and Legolas meet while encamped outside Erebor.

Books: Legolas does not appear anywhere in the story.

Pro: Since Bard’s men and Thranduil’s elves were encamped together, it is not unreasonable that Thranduil’s son Legolas would be among them.

Con: This is an unnecessary addition to Tolkien’s story.
