R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Haldir welcomed the Fellowship to Lothlrien, but he did not want to allow Gimli into the realm. In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers film, Haldir leads the Elves to Helm's Deep to aid Rohan.

Haldir was an Elven warrior who appeared in The Lord of the Rings. In J. R. R. Tolkien's novel, he was a minor character who only appeared in three chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring. He served as the readers' introduction to the Elves of Lothlrien, but he contributed little to the overall plot. Haldir played a larger part in Peter Jackson's film adaptations. His role...
