r/TheHobbit

For the criticism that The Hobbit receives, I think that if you set aside the source material deviations, the portrayal of Thorin's character arc throughout the film is brilliant.

In Bag End his view of Bilbo is made up of a lack of faith in a Hobbit, and frequently dismisses his worth.

The real turning point in their relationship occurs during the "Into the frying pan segment" when Bilbo saves Thorin, and his rescue in the Elvenking's dungeons, highlight a turn in his favor.

When Smaug dies and the gold sickness takes effect on Thorin, in his paranoia he assumes that the dwarfs are more likely to steal the Arkenstone from him than Bilbo, which ironically shows that Bilbo is the only one he trusts.

Then the sudden intense betrayal and hatred he feels against Bilbo when it is revealed that the Arkenstone was given to the Men and Elves by Bilbo completely destroys their relationship.

Then it culminates into a bittersweet ending where Thorin dies in Bilbo's arms calling him a true friend.

I dont know about anyone else but I think this is really good. What are your thoughts?

I'm making a presentation about the 13 dwarfs and want to get more into the details about them, there home, and wars. Is there any difference between the movie and book versions. Any fact no matter how small or just how to remember them.

There is currently a best book vote between Harry Potter 1 and The Hobbit. Guess what? The Hobbit is currently losing!! Help me vote for it so that it can surpass Harry Potter.

Hi!

I'm an illustrator and I specialize in creating detailed floorplans of iconic locations from films and TV series.
Some of you may have seen some of my illustrations.

I want to revisit an old project and create a floor plan of Bag End based on Peter Jackson's film series.

I'm familiar with the official Weta floor plan, but it has some inconsistencies with what's shown on screen and doesn't include spaces that are supposed to be there.
I have a pretty good idea of ​​what I need to do, but I'd like to confirm a couple of things, especially to determine the location of Frodo's bedroom.
The aforementioned official floor plan indicates the existence of a second entrance, a back door, on the far left side of the house.

I've tried searching for images of the set, but I can't find any pictures of this second door and the windows flanking it. During the Bag End tour, you're not allowed to go through the entrance gate, and when "walking" along Bagshot Row on Google Street View, you can't see these windows because the path is at a lower level.

And here's my request:

Does anyone have photos of that area?
Any photos that show that back door and the adjacent windows?Perhaps because they were there or know where to find them.

Thank you very much in advance.

If I wanted to make the groups of 3 it would take me a really long time because you can create 455 groups of 3 with the 15 of them because (15 * 14 * 13) / 3! = 455. However if I wanted to make the possible groups of 13 it would be the same number as the groups of 2

After finishing the book, I now realise it was the lore accurate way of experiencing battle. That's all, thank you for your time.

So I finished the hobbit like a hour ago and really loved it. But i have a few questions before i start the lotr. Idk if im gonna get a lot of hate for this but i feel like the hobbit’s characters weren’t very fun/deep. Obviously bilbo, Gandalf, thorin and a few others got some dialogue but I feel like I didn’t really enjoy the dialogue that much. Or like the characters talking to each other felt kind of dull. And I’m wondering, is it like that in Lord of the rings? Or are the characters more enjoyable?

I will leading a Hobbit book club class at our Homeschool CO-OP this year. We meet a total of 11 times throughout the fall. I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I'm looking for some fun Tolkien/Hobbit crafts and activities. My age range is 8-18. Thanks!

Hobbits give gifts on their birthdays. Hobbits love gifts. I think one of the primary reasons Frodo didn't celebrate his birthday alongside Bilbo in the story is it would bankrupt him to give away so many, haha. I wonder, what would those gifts be? Plant starts, jams, books, cheese, wood carvings.. what do you think some hobbit gifts would be? What would you hope to give and get as a hobbit?

It's my cake day! I'll reply to every comment with the hobbit gift I'd give you based on your username.
