"Halls of Stone" is the fifth episode of the second season of the American fantasy television series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The series is based on J. R. R. Tolkien's history of Middle-earth, primarily material from the appendices of the novel The Lord of the Rings (1954–55). Set thousands of years before the novel in Middle-earth's Second Age, the episode shows the Dwarves' reactions to their Rings of Power. It was written by Nicholas Adams and directed by Louise Hooper and Sanaa Hamri.
J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay were set to develop the series in July 2018, and a second season was ordered in November 2019. Filming began in the United Kingdom in October 2022, with Hooper and Hamri joining the series to direct multiple episodes. Production on the season wrapped in June 2023.
"Halls of Stone" premiered on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video on September 12, 2024.
