<P> In The Lord of the Rings film trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy directed by Peter Jackson, Elrond is portrayed by Hugo Weaving . In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey after Elrond reads the moon runes on Thror's map, a White Council session is held in Rivendell, where Gandalf expresses his worries to Elrond and Galadriel, but Saruman dismisses the concerns as unfounded . After Gandalf confirms that Sauron has returned and had taken up residence in Dol Guldur, Elrond joins the other White Council members to fight off the Nazgûl and the revealed Necromancer in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies . </P> <P> In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Elrond holds Men in lesser regard after witnessing Isildur's failure to destroy the One Ring . Unlike the book, he is more skeptical of Aragorn both in terms of his ability to lead the Men of the West and the courtship of his daughter . As shown in the flashback scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, he forces Aragorn to break up with Arwen so that she could leave to the Undying Lands, though she eventually makes the decision to stay with Aragorn in Middle - Earth . Also, instead of presenting the reforged Andúril to Aragorn at the beginning of the quest, he only does so after arriving at Dunharrow in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King . Elrond's sons Elladan and Elrohir and the Grey Company of the Rangers of the North led by Halbarad are absent from the film, so Elrond is the one to advise Aragorn to take the Paths of the Dead . Elrond is present at Aragorn's coronation and Arwen's wedding in Minas Tirith and departs Middle - Earth with other Ring - bearers at the end of the film . </P> <P> Weaving reprised his role as both Elrond and the narrator in video games The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle - earth II (2006) and The Lord of the Rings: Conquest (2009). In the storyline campaign of The Battle for Middle - earth II Elrond, after planning the war in the North and sending the Fellowship to destroy the One Ring, forms an alliance with the Dwarves to repel Sauron's forces, defending Rivendell from goblin assaults . He leads the first strike in the final battle at Dol Guldur, joined by other Elves and Dwarves, enabling him to defeat Sauron's remaining forces . </P> <P> In the 2002 video game adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring Elrond is voiced by Jim Piddock, who later reprised the role for The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest (2010) and The Lord of the Rings: War in the North (2011). Elrond is one of the major characters in The Lord of the Rings Online (2007). Residing in the Last Homely House in Rivendell, he is frequently consulted by players seeking council in battling threats to the lands of Eriador . In the 2003 video game adaptation of The Hobbit Elrond only appears for a few seconds in a non-interactive cutscene . </P>
