Good quiz.

Thanks.

One correction: the people in Q.7 and Q.8 are cousins, not brothers.

Thanks for the quiz. Some nitpicks:

Merry and Pippin are cousins, not brothers.

Thorin is the leader of "the dwarf company" in the Hobbit specifically.

"Fangorn" should be accepted as a synonym of "Treebeard"

Dain's boar and the "Defiler" nickname should be flagged as film-only too (or, better, dropped).
