I think that'd would be interesting too!
However, the exploration of Harad or Rhûn would take away mystery from Middle Earth.
True, although I kind of wonder what's past Harad and Rhûn.

I agree. Learning about what's past Harad and Rhûn is great for curiosity, but it takes away from the mystery. If I were to choose, I would choose to learn more about these unknown lands.

I wonder if there's an arctic or an antarctic, and if there's rain forests. I sort of doubt it somehow, but you never know!

EDIT: Didn't someone mention something like 'The frozen north" at one point?

Beyond Harad or Rhûn there are other continents mentioned. These include the “Dark Land” (Antarctica), “the Land of the Sun” (the Americas), and “the Undying Lands” (Australia?). The frozen north is known as the Northern Wastes. The Northern Wastes are an expanse of arctic land north of the Grey and Misty Mountains and the Iron Hills. People used to live there.

That's cool. I think that if we were looking at it over the map of earth Valinor would end up being the America, because if you travel west from Europe you'd reach the Americas. I think we're not supposed to do that literally, though.

Oh! More info: In the east/south mostly everything was taken over by Sauron, but there was some resistance that the Pallando and Alatar aided.

Cool!

BTW: Does this spoiler system work; I'll put a spoiler alert so you can ignore any spoilers and I'll put the words in lightcyan text.

Like this SPOILER ALERT!!!

This is where I'll write spoilerish things.

I have watched Peter Jackson’s LOTR trilogy AND read the actual series. I really like both and I think that the movies were really good at bringing various characters and places to life, such as the Shire. I haven’t read The Silmarillion yet but I wish to do so in the future. My favorite characters are Gandalf, Eowyn, and Sam. Did you know that J.R.R. Tolkien actually started planning the languages and culture featured in the books before writing the plot itself? That’s why the Story is so detailed and rich.

My family and I watched the second Lord of The Rings movie yesterday! All of us loved the little comedy bits that were added into it (such as “Po-ta-toes!”) and Samwise's speech really gave me the feels once again. Is it just me, or does it perfectly match with these hard times with Covid-19? Truly amazing, and timeless, too! He has to be one of the best characters in LOTR.

I'm also currently reading the first LOTR book and I have read The Hobbit entirely. I'm already half-way through The Fellowship of the Ring and I have to say, Tolkien is such an amazing writer! He really brings his characters to life, makes them relatable with the reader, and gives each character such real emotion.

I finished watching the movies yesterday with my family! It was very awesome! Who's your favourite character? Mine's Sam, or maybe Aragorn…I felt so sad for Sam when he started crying and Frodo left him…

That's awesome. My favorite is Pippin. And I felt sorry for Sam then too.
