Fans of The Lord of the Rings should know about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Prime Video. It stars Morfydd Clark as Galadriel. Fans may be surprised by this Galadriel, who is much younger than the Galadriel in J.R.R. Tolkien’s first Middle-earth book. In The Rings of Power, Galadriel has a rough edge and wanders dangerously close to the night. In The Lord of the Rings, the Lady of Lorien is calm and beautiful (well, calm and graceful except when tempted by the Ring). Clark said in an interview that the way Galadriel was portrayed on the show even shocked her.
Even though I had read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and seen the movies, I didn’t know much about the First and Second Ages. It was so great to find out all these new things about the world I loved. She looks like she’s going through a lot, which is very interesting to me because most of the people I’ve met who eventually became as calm and collected as Galadriel… had been through a lot. It was fun to work with all the different things. How different can she get from the person she thought she would be?

After some strange things happen, this younger Galadriel meets Halbrand, who is played by Charlie Vickers. Vickers told us about the friendship between Galadriel and Halbrand.
Vickers says that he is from the Southlands and is moving on from the past. “So I guess he ends up trying to sail in the middle of a storm? After a series of events, he does end up meeting Galadriel. They need each other and know it, but they don’t see their connection as real, at least in his eyes. I think their relationship is the first one of survival because they need each other to live. He has trouble putting it into words. They have a relationship that gets more interesting as the episode goes on. Galadriel probably makes him think about both the past and the present.
Galadriel finds out quickly that she is an Elf who is involved in human affairs, in part because she is related to Halbrand. She might not feel at ease there all the time.
Clark says of Galadriel’s feelings toward the Men of Middle-earth, “She sees herself as a guardian, but she’s also interestingly out of touch and detached from them.””
Even though she wants to keep them safe and sound, she doesn’t understand why men exist. She is an independent Elf in a lot of ways, which makes her investigation interesting because she seems to be against the group that gives the people of Middle-earth their strength.
