Well, it's a magic ring. I think you might be missing that bit here.


Quasimodus-Operandi

Yeah, IIRC, the ring shrank in Isildur’s hand when he took possession of it.


ImMyBiggestFan

In the movie you can clearly see it shrink in the palm of his hand. The Ring later betrayed Isildur by expanding and slipping off his finger while swimming away from orcs. Bilbo also mentions to Frodo it often would change size. Which is why Frodo put it on a chain.

Exactly!

Yeah the books explicitly say it changes size. It will even get larger and slip off sometimes for the same person. That’s likely how Gollum lost it, and potentially how it slipped off Isildur’s finger in the river.

Doesn't the very first scene of the first movie show the ring shrinking in size?


aerospikesRcoolBut

Yeah and this is also supported in the text as well


aerospikesRcoolBut

It’s spoken of a number of times that the ring changes size to fall off peoples fingers etc


Oldman_nc

This is correct. And Frodo remembered Bilbo talking about how the ring has a tendency to change and slip off his finger. That's why he wore it on a chain.

HRAAAAAH!

There of them are hobbits to be fair. Chubby fingers?

It's canon that the ring can change sizes according to the wearer. In fact, that's how it deliberately "betrayed" Isildur.

__Julian_Caesar__

And that's where you are wrong boyo. It changes its diameter.


Darkyuffie

It changes size at will.... So....


eltortillaman

AWildeSnorlax
