Greetings.
At the beginning of the chapter, the Company meets with Galadriel and Celeborn in their tree-hall. They deliver the news of Gandalf's apparent death and otherwise consult with the elvish rulers. Frodo and Sam are taken to see Galadriel's mirror, which is more of a scrying basin. They see many things in the mirror, among them trouble in the Shire, various unexplained landscapes, and the great fiery eye of Sauron. Afterwards, Frodo offers the Ring to Galadriel for safe keeping, and she transforms into a dark visage of herself and proclaims the would-be result of her possession of the Ring. When the company leaves Lórien, they are given many gifts by the elves. All are gifted a cloak of the Galadhrim, lembas bread, and elven rope. Boromir, Merry, and Pippin receive belts; Aragorn receives a sheath for Andúril and a brooch from Lady Galadriel; Frodo receives the bottled light of Eärendil; Sam receives a box of Lórien earth; Legolas receives a bow of the Galadhrim; and Gimli receives three strands of Galadriel's hair. The company then sets out in boats upon the Great River.
These chapter were very accurately represented in the film. The only major difference I noticed was Aragorn's and Sam's gift.
I will be finishing the book today and posting on the last to chapters later this afternoon.
Thanks for reading,
