Where... where am I? Harry... If you want these back, Harry, you're
going to need to take out my main adversary, Gollum. If you are able to do that, call my
secretary: Gandalf. I will do this, Voldemort. But only one question:
where is Gollum? Here is a book, with all of Gollum's whereabouts.
If you follow it, you will find Gollum. Farewell Voldemort.
Time to figure out where to go. Wait, what's going on here... Why are all the words blacked
out? I must call Gandalf to find out. Gandalf? Is that you?
Ring ring? Oh... What? Who's this? Oh, why Harry, my dear boy, why are you calling me?
What calls for such urgency? Well, I have been given this book that is
to reveal the whereabouts of Gollum, but all the words are blacked out. How am I to know
where he is? Ah, I knew this day would come. I knew this
day would come. Gollum has censored all the books in the land, hiding the knowledge from
the world. But I saved one last hope. One last hope that you can do. I have stored the
last remaining bit of my knowledge into this ring. Take it. Take this Ring of Reading.
Oh, oh, I found the ring Gandalf, and the words, the words, they say: "Gollum will be
located in the outskirts of Mount Doom. Beware, though: his powers are unparalleled by that
of any others. The only way of defeating him is by throwing him into Mount Doom."
Always remember, Frodo, Gollum is always searching for the ring. Lose the ring to Gollum, and
you lose the power of knowledge forever. You hold a great power over the people, and Harry,
you must use it wisely. I see where I must go now.
Is that... That's Mount Doom, off there in the distance!
Myyy precioussss... Myyy precioussss... precioussss... Gollum, your time has come to an end. Follow
me if you wish to live. Does master have myyy preciousss? I will follow
master where he will go. Is this what you wanted?
Must have the precious. Those wicked, sneaky hobbitses. They stole it from us! Books have
given you too hobbitses too much power. Now I understand. The power of this reading
ring is far greater than any other. However, we must end this conflict now if we hope to
preserve the art of reading. Gandalf, I've dealt with Gollum.
OH, excellent job. You have saved the power of reading.
It is time to restore knowledge to everyone. Think again, Harry. With this ring in your
control, you are all powerful. You hold all the knowledge in the world. Do you see how
much potential is captured in that, that one ring, that one ring that you only have? Maybe
you should hold onto it. It unlocks all your intellectual prowess.
I'm sorry for this, Gandalf, but I discovered that I should not be the only individual to
have the power of reading. All must be given this power, so I will destroy this ring! I
cannot let this go on, and you are in the way!
No Harry! You shall not pass! Avada Kedavra!
My name is actually Dumble... Now the power of reading is free to all, free
from censorship and free from the wrath of Gollum.
This story is one for the books. We're booking you, Austin, for that one.
