Mirror of Galadriel

The Mirror of Galadriel was a silver basin of water used in the Elven realm of Lothlórien by Galadriel.The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, Book II, Chapter VII: "The Mirror of Galadriel" The Mirror was used to grant the viewer things of the past, present, and possible futures. It could show images that the viewer desired to see, or that of its own choice.
Its history is untold. In the first year of the Quest of the Ring, before the breaking of the Fellowship, Frodo Baggins looked into the Mirror and saw glimpses the Scouring of the Shire far in the future, among other things.thumb|300px|Galadriel pouring water into the mirror|left
== In adaptations ==
=== Ralph Bakshi ===
In Ralph Bakshi's 1978 film, both Frodo and Sam look into the Mirror, and it shows many colored images alternating. Frodo eagerly bends down, too closely, wearing the One Ring on its chain. It nearly touches the Mirror's water before Galadriel restrains him.
=== Peter Jackson's film trilogy ===
In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), only Frodo is invited to look into the Mirror. He is shown a vision of the beautiful Shire being destroyed, while Hobbits, including the four (Merry, Pippin, Frodo and Sam) are chained and forced to walk, being whipped by Orcs, as well as a final glance from the Eye of Sauron, at which the Ring slides from Frodo's shirt and almost touches the water. Peter Jackson has explained that the vision of the Shire in bondage was meant as a way of incorporating (by showing them as a possibility) some of the events of the chapter "The Scouring of the Shire" from the novel, since those events were not included in the films.
===Video games===
In The Lord of the Rings Online, Lady Galadriel consults her mirror at multiple points during the story. During the 2008 Mines of Moria, she gives the player's character a prediction of their future, different for each playable class. Some classes' predictions have come to pass within the next few years, while others have not.
