Speak Friend and Enter
■■■■■
● FeaturedThe riddle to enter the Doors of Durin in 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' is a memorable moment, yet the solution and Gandalf's famous line are often slightly misremembered.
●
What People Remember
Many recall Gandalf eventually figuring out the riddle and saying 'Speak friend and pass' or simply 'Speak friend' to open the doors.
◉
What's Actually True
The inscription actually reads 'Speak friend and enter,' and when Gandalf utters 'Mellon' (Elvish for 'friend'), the doors open with the intended phrase.
