That theme alone is fodder for many a college dissertation. Conversely, when watching Harry Potter movies, I muse about the parallels of Dementors/Ringwraiths and Dobby/Gollum. A musing which I hope is fodder for no dissertations.

LOL! Glad to hear you watched them with your kids, though - I can picture 20 years from now when they are sitting around at Christmas saying "Do you remember that time dad watched ALL three Lord of the Rings with is in ONE day, RIGHT after he finished the semester!?!?" Those will be fun memories! Though I’m not one to appreciate 11 hours of Lord of the Rings, I did get a BIG smile on my face when I clicked on your links indicating Jana expressing her own GQ. LOL!
