Middle Earth Size Comparison

From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak, in this video we take a look at the speculative and sometimes not-so-speculative sizes of things in JRR Tolkien's Middle-earth mythos. Enjoy!

Note:
As the works featuring these objects are works of literary fiction, it is often hard to interpret the precise image of something based on text, and size is more often portrayed in relative terms or simply an adjective than precise units. As such many of these objects' sizes are educated guesses, logically inferred, or my own speculation along with the speculation of those I talked to while making this.

A few more notes on particular objects:
The One Ring - the Ring was known to change size to fit the hand of its bearer, which is why there were three rings of different sizes in the video.
Troll - the trolls were incredibly diverse in size, so I just took an average based off the size of Treebeard, who alleged that trolls were originally made in mockery of Ents.
Ungoliant - the size of ungoliant changes throughout her story in the Silmarillion. The size shown here is how big I imagine her to have been after consuming the light of the Two Trees of Valinor.

This video is dope as hell. I love the Middle-Earth movies and games. I also love your channel. Seeing this made my day.

3:12 no, barad-dur was bigger than mount doom

I can only try to imagine the time needed to research all the relevant details, and then to do the animation... Only passion can make someone do this!

Wasn't balrog a bit larger? Great job on this one btw, it's not an easy info to gather

[MichZilla]

Some of this is not accurate as a Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit fan, but Harry Evett is still a great youtuber!


Dont take this as a criticizing comment!

[blueshit]

the fact that apparently Smaug is much smaller than what he appears to be from Bilbo's perspective is screwing with my head

[tylerjapal]

Barad Dur and Mt doom are pretty much interchangeable

[jennijones]

A new one??? Yay! and Oh...Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays. 😀

Can i ask you how you creat your Animations and with which application Programms?

[BoroPhil]

I thought Ancalagon crushed Thangorodrim when it fell to the ground. Still good vid though.

The text font was awkward... I can't even read it.

Would love to see a Warhammer 40K size comparison in this style!
