What are the 7 races in Lord of the Rings?
The fictional races and peoples that appear in J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy world of Middle-earth include the seven listed in Appendix F of The Lord of the Rings: Elves, Men, Dwarves, Hobbits, Ents, Orcs and Trolls, as well as various spirits such as the Valar and Maiar.
The Lord of the Rings
According to “Beneath the Thunder: Forging a Battle of Five Armies” on The Appendices Part 12, the five armies refer to Men, Elves, Dwarves, the Orcs of Dol Guldur, and the Orcs of Mount Gundabad.
Ents are arguably the strongest race in terms of physical power. They are said to be able to bend steel and stone as if it is paper, and their attack on Isengard in The Two Towers shows them to be an unstoppable force.
Hobbits are one of the weakest races in the LOTR universe. Most could be defeated by simply ruining their lunch.

The Mandalorian
Tolkien. The films are subtitled The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002), and The Return of the King (2003). Produced and distributed by New Line Cinema with the co-production of WingNut Films, the series is an international venture between New Zealand and the United States.
Uruk-hai (for short, Uruks) were brutal warriors of Middle-earth, and the strongest breed of Orc. In The Lord of the Rings, the term Uruk-hai refers chiefly to those bred in Isengard, and in one context are alternatively called Isengarders, while Uruks from Mordor are called Black Uruks or Uruks of Mordor.
Who is more powerful Gandalf or Saruman?
5 SARUMAN THE WHITE
He was more powerful than Gandalf at these stages, but his study of dark magic turned him to support Sauron. However, before he turned to the dark forces, he was a very powerful wizard. His magic is on display especially during his duel with Gandalf.
14 They Can't Touch Water
Some fans have theorized that their fear of water was actually due to their connection to the elves, as Elven lore claimed that the spirits of a former elf king flowed through all of the bodies of water in Middle Earth.
5 Galadriel Is The Strongest Of All The Elves That Remain In Middle-Earth. In The Lord of the Rings' timeline, Galadriel is known as "the mightiest and fairest of all the Elves that remained in Middle-earth," recognition that is completely deserved.
The closest approximation of Gandalf's physical age is 24,000 years old, according to Gandalf himself. Yet, various dates of key events in other Tolkien texts show that Gandalf has actually only walked in his physical form for just over two thousand years.
The longest film ever made was the 85 hour The Cure for Insomnia (USA 1987), directed by John Henry Timmis IV and premiered in its entirety at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, USA from 31 January to 3 February 1987.
I don't know if it has been discussed before, but it's called The Lord of the RingS because Sauron made TEN rings, The One Ring carried in the books by Smeagol, Bilbo, Frodo and Sam, and another 9 gifted to 9 mortal kings, carried by the Nazgûl, the dudes that are always trying to catch them.
Galadriel
Gandalf and Sauron are both Maiar.
In The Book of Lost Tales, it is said that Orcs were "bred from the heats and slimes of the earth" through the sorcery of Morgoth. Again, Tolkien later changed this, as Morgoth could not create life on his own. This led to the most popular theory that Orcs were created from corrupted Elves.
In short, orcs aren't made from mud but rather incubated in it. According to Tolkien's extensive backstory, the first orcs were fallen elves, corrupted and tortured into these horrific new forms.
What are black Orcs?
The Black Orcs are amongst the biggest, meanest, strongest, and most brutal of all the Greenskin races. [1a] Named after their darker shade of green, their thick black-coloured armour and their horrendously foul odour, the Black Orcs consider themselves the ultimate Greenskin warrior.
In his prime, Dumbledore truly had no equal who could best him in a one-on-one wizarding duel. Even though he might seem like an old man, his wizarding power is on a completely different level. Gandalf is probably the most powerful opponent he'd ever face, but Dumbledore wouldn't go down without a fight.
From putting Saruman in his place to playing the part of the guiding hand in the war against Sauron, Gandalf the White ends up proving to be the most powerful wizard in all of Middle-earth history.
Actor. Saruman (Quenya), also known as Saruman the White, was first of the order of Istari (Wizards), who came to Middle-earth as emissaries of the Valar in the Third Age. He was the Wizards' leader, and chief of the White Council that opposed Sauron.
Jackson's reasons for cutting Saruman's demise were twofold; firstly, to pare down a film that was already testing the limits of how long a person can comfortably sit on a theater seat, and secondly because of the narrative flow.
The Nazgul's howls -- a supremely unsettling screech that announced the arrival of Sauron's chief minions -- actually came from a simple trick. The Ringwraiths constituted Sauron's first real move against the remainder of Middle-earth, sent into the Shire to hunt down the One Ring in Frodo Baggins's care.
Fire could of course damage and destroy their cloaks, and without them, the fear they could instill in the living would be reduced.
They crossed the river in fear, anger and disgust, but they knew that it wouldn't kill them in the end. It would mean the end to their horses (enhanced by evil, but still horses of this world) and their hunt, but not them.

Aragorn isn't a half-elf, he's a tiny fraction of an elf. Elros, who was a half-elf (actually 9/16), was his very remote ancestor. But more importantly, the heirs of Elros were not given the choice to be elven or human, although the Valar did grant them unusually long life-spans.
The closest approximation of Gandalf's physical age is 24,000 years old, according to Gandalf himself. Yet, various dates of key events in other Tolkien texts show that Gandalf has actually only walked in his physical form for just over two thousand years.
Legolas was portrayed by Orlando Bloom. In the "official movie guide" for The Lord of the Rings, a birthdate for Legolas is set to 87 of the Third Age. This would make him 2931 years old at the time of the War of the Ring.
