In the books, Frodo offers it to Gandalf, Aragorn, and Galadriel. All three decline, Aragorn didn’t want to use that weapon, the other two essentially said they’d just become their own versions of Sauron.
Gandalf, Aragorn, and Faramir each briefly gain possession of the ring but quickly return it to Frodo without using it. Gollum, Frodo, and Bilbo are the only ones that use it during the trilogy timeline, though Gollum doesn’t possess it.
I think Boromir holds the ring in the movies, but I don’t think he did that in the books. Either way, he doesn’t turn invisible in either medium.
There are a few ring-wearers that don’t turn invisible when donning the ring: Sauron, Isildur, and curiously, Tom Bombadil, on whom the ring seems to have no effect.
Isn’t there a scene where either Aragon or Boromir wears the ring and turns invisible? Or am I making this up?
In the movie Isildur wears it and turns invisible! :)
Ahh, okay, thanks! It’s been a while since I last watched
You are making it up. Boromir tries to take it from Frodo and Frodo puts it on during the altercation.
That was the movies though, can’t remember if that was the books as well.
Actually no he isn’t, in the movie Isildur wears it and turns invisible! The argument now resides in determining if the movies are canon or not.
