    What if more Hobbits knew what Bilbo and Frodo had?

    I know it's risky with men and dwarves (it seemed ok with Elves as Frodo came close to mentioning it when they were in the Shire), but, though even Gollum was a Hobbit, I don't think that anyone besides Ted Sandyman and the Sackville Bagginses would be nasty enough to try and abuse its power...

    Bilbo vs Frodo (Who is the best ring bearer?)

    Hey people. Am just finished watching both LoTR and The Hobbit trilogies. I really loved both movies but there was something about Frodo that i didn't like. It seemed to me that the only reason why Frodo was able to finish his task was thanks to Sam. I don't know if its just me or you also...

    Bilbo's location differences in 2 books

    I have noticed something strange, when Tolkien describes Bilbo's home in "The Hobbit" he refers to it as: "Over hill", "Under hill", "Bywater". But in "Lord of the Rings" he refers to it as "Bagshot row", "Bag end", "Hobbiton", "The Shire". Why do the locations not appear in both books, but in...

    Where's hidden Bilbo's part of treasure in Bag End?

    Hi, I read the Fellowship of the Ring again now (after Hobbit, and before the whole LotR) and I would like to know, if even anyone knows, where exactly has Bilbo hidden the treasure after his return to Bag End. I''m reading the part after Bilbo's outgoing to the Rivendell, and there are many...

    Bilbo the dude

    Hi, I've read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings many times, but it's been a while. My question is did Bilbo have a job? Did he contribute to the well being of Hobbiton? What did he do? When we first meet him he is lounging around in his garden.I'm asking because I just watched Fellowship of the...

    (RUMOR) Martin Freeman - Bilbo?

    Latest rumor says this guy might play Bilbo. What do you all think of it? He's no McAvoy, but I'll have to acquaint myself with his work. The only films I've watched of his were tiny roles such as in Hot Fuzz, and I can not remember him . After viewing photos, he has a look that might work...

    Guessing game: Bilbo!

    We need a new game here in Hobbiton. How about a silly game called “Bilbo”; an offshoot of “Bingo“. I’ll begin with a list of five movies (not necessarily my favorites, or even movies I necessarily like). However, I’ll also list my favorite actors/actresses from those very movies. The next...

    Was the Ring's power lesser during The Hobbit events?

    Please excuse the use of the number '2' at the end of the title, I was a character short with the max length of the title! I'm currently re-reading The Hobbit, it's just dawned on my how much Bilbo uses the Ring, and for extended lengths of time too. Considering the effect that having and...

    Leonard Nimoy singing “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins”

    Leonard Nimoy, a.k.a. Spock from Star Trek, is on YouTube singing a little ditty called “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins”. I guess from the look of Nimoy and the dress of all the lovely young ladies that this is from the late 1960s.

    Bilbo's wealth

    In FoTR, Chapter 1: A Long-expected Party, there is constant reference to Bilbo's alleged wealth, treasures he supposedly brought back from his journey to the Lonely Mountain. However, even though Bilbo gives out tons of gifts to everyone, there is not even a penny to be found among these items...

    Bilbo's confusion or Tolkien's?

    I was recently listening to Tolkien read the chapter "Riddles in the Dark" and I heard something that confused me. After Bilbo wins the riddle game, and Gollum finds his precious missing, he go to the exit to wait for Bilbo, as Bilbo had put the ring on and was invisible. Bilbo is debating...

    Why Frodo lied to Bilbo about the ring

    :confused: :confused: :confused: I'm not sure if I asked this question already or not but here goes-In the film ROTK, maybe even in the book as well, why did Frodo lie to Bilbo about where the ring was near the end when he asked: "Where is the ring I gave you?" Frodo replyed: "I lost it." Why...
