lord of the rings has how many parts

The Lord of the Rings is an epic high fantasy novel written by English academic J. R. R. Tolkien. The story began as a sequel to Tolkien's earlier fantasy book The Hobbit and soon developed into a much larger story. It was written in stages between 1937 and 1949, with much of it being created during World War II.[1] It was originally published in three volumes in 1954 and 1955 (much to Tolkien's annoyance, since he had intended it to be a single volume),[2] and has since been reprinted numerous times and translated into at least 38 languages,[3] becoming one of the most popular works in 20th-century literature. The action in The Lord of the Rings is set in what the author conceived to be the lands of the real Earth, inhabited by humanity but placed in a fictional past, before our science but after the fall of his version of Atlantis, which he calls Númenor.[4] Tolkien gave this setting a modern English name, Middle-earth, derived from the Old English Middangeard,[5] the realm where humans live in Norse and related Germanic mythologies. The story concerns peoples such as Hobbits, Elves, Men, Dwarves, Wizards, and Orcs and centres on the Ring of Power made by the Dark Lord Sauron. Starting from quiet beginnings in The Shire, the story ranges across Middle-earth and follows the courses of the War of the Ring. The main story is followed by six appendices that provide a wealth of historical and linguistic background material,[6] as well as an index of characters, place names, and terms of note. Along with Tolkien's other writings, The Lord of the Rings has been subjected to extensive analysis of its literary themes and origins. Although a major work in itself, the story is merely the last movement of a larger cycle, or legendarium, that Tolkien had worked on for many years since 1917.[7] Influences on this earlier work, and on the story of The Lord of the Rings, include philology, mythology and religion, as well as earlier fantasy works and Tolkien's experiences in World War I. The Lord of the Rings in its turn is considered to have had a great impact on modern fantasy, and the impact of Tolkien's works is such that the use of the words "Tolkienian" and "Tolkienesque" have been recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary.[8]

the book has 4 parts including the hobbits but the movie only made the 3 parts...

i saw all parts, apart from this i also played "lord of the rings, war of the ring " on my pc, its a very good game involving ame move characters

i saw all three.... but before they make in the cinema i red the prelude book which is the hobbit. actually it made a diffence when i red that book, i understand it more, how the ring got started and how it end up with gollums hand before frudo. i really like that middle earth story, so much imagination.

The book written by JRR Tolkein has 6 parts There are 3 movies made one these 6 parts, and every movie features 2 parts. To be more elaborate, the first 2 parts describe Fellowship of the Ring, the next 2 parts are for the Two Towers and the last 2 parts are for Return of the King. I always advise to read the book first, simply because the introduction to the story is awesome, some 50 odd pages descibe what are hobbits, elves and the geaography of the land. LOTR Rocks

There are 3 movies but I think there is another one being made, which is of the hobbits. Hopefully they'll go further and make one of the sillmirillian which is I think again in the same world. I loved the movies but they are nothing compared to the books. I've gotta say to do with fantasy/fiction if you like reading I suggest Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. It's Great. I've also just started on Ian Irvine's Tale of Three Worlds series. They're pretty cool too.

i have seen all the parts of the movie. my favourite is the 3rd part.

So many

I only see the last part, it was an amazing part very interesting and full of adventures, have a nice day on mylot.

Ofcourse all 3 parts - awesome movie. U see one and then you just have to see the other 2. LOTR rocks.

3333333333

there are three parts as far as i know.

Do you think there will be more parts Lord of the Rings? I believe they will make one at least... A friend of mine told me that will be one , but the action is before the first one...with Gandalf and his friend, if you remember !
