Angel Shaw is a Core Features Senior Writer with Screen Rant who knows far too much about the worlds of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power may be telling a different story, but there are still many clear influences from Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. The Prime Video series is set during Middle-earth's Second Age, thousands of years before Frodo set out from the Shire with the One Ring. Still, this is the same land where the Hobbit had his adventures, and the overlap in characters allowed for many familiar sights and events.
It has been heavily implied that The Stranger is Gandalf, and there is some indication that the Dark Wizard, who is running a cult in Rhûn, is one of the Blue Wizards sent to Middle-earth in the Second Age. However, the idea that the Stranger must stop this evil wizard from joining Sauron is a repeat of Gandalf and Saruman's dynamic in The Lord of the Rings—regardless of their true identities.
The situation the Stranger finds himself in is nearly identical to the one faced by Frodo, Merry, Pippin, and Sam in the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring book. Shortly after leaving the Shire, the Hobbits made their way through the Old Forest and were sucked up into the massive roots of a tree called Old Man Willow. Just like the Stranger, they were saved by Tom Bombadil.
As it is, that's the same question that dominated the Council of Elrond in The Lord of the Rings. Boromir wanted to use Sauron's One Ring to turn things around for Mordor, thus using the villain's own weapon against him. However, it was rightly determined that this wouldn't be possible since any action done with the Ring would be as evil as the object itself.
2 Tom Bombadil's Debut Repeats His Interactions With LOTR's Hobbits Tom Bombadil Is The Same Even Thousands Of Years Earlier Close Bombadil saving the Stranger from Rhûn's version of Old Man Willow wasn't the only way this character's debut was a repeat of The Lord of the Rings. After bringing the Stranger into his home and helping him get freshened up, a great deal of Bombadil's words and actions were direct repeats of his first interactions with the Hobbits.
