Question: Is it biblically wrong to watch or to own The Lord of the Rings or any of that series?

Answer: This series is all about occult powers—some from evil creatures and some from supposedly good beings or spirits. The rings themselves supposedly have “magic” powers, but this is outright occultism. Those in favor of these books and movies attempt to see true spirituality and the power of God in them. In fact, the way even the supposed “good” powers operate is the antithesis of how the true God works. Sadly, any “spiritual” lesson one may learn from these films would only lead one astray.

There is no “power” in these movies that offers a biblical picture of God (nor could there be). Whether you watch or own them is up to your own convictions and conscience before the Lord. I certainly would not!
