From "An Unexpected Party"... "Of course there is a mark," said Gandalf. "I put it there myself. For very good reasons. You asked me to find the fourteenth man for your expedition, and I chose Mr. Baggins. Just let any one say I chose the wrong man or the wrong house and you can stop at...

In the Hobbit Bilbo sets out as bit silly and naive, and grows to be incredibly heroic and brave towards the end of the book. He singlehandedly fights the spiders in Mirkwood, then organizes the dwarves' rescue from the Elven-kings hall, talks to Smaug, steals the Arkenstone, and gives it to the...

When Bilbo and the Dwarves were in Mirkwood would Bilbo have seen Legolas at the feast or wandering about in Tranduils halls? ;)Edited by Lantarion

What's your favorite going away present that Bilbo gave after the Long Expected Party? For obvious reasons, I'm leaving out the One Ring to Frodo. It's on a completely different level from the others, and I'm having some fun probing the lighter side of this work. Presents to choose from...

here's a new thread for you Hobbit scholars out there. Gandal arrives in Hobbiton one sunny day in May, chats to BIlbo, who invites him to tea. Gandalf arrives, but so do 13 dwarves, who have been led to believe - by Gandalf no less - that they are going to a prearranged meeting with a...

Was Bilbo right to offer the Arkenstone of Thrain to Bard? Another topic from the Debate-Tournament. Enjoy:)

Where did Bilbo get his inspiration for this? He knew that the Dúnadan was special, and was the throne of Gondor was ripe for a return, but how did he know that he would be the one? How did he know that "Renewed shall be blade that was broken: // The crownless again shall be king."

Bilbo Baggins of the Shire BILBO BAGGINS born:TA2890 passed into the West:FA29 Son of Bungo Baggins and Belladonna Took THE BEGINNING One summer afternoon in 1930, Professor J.R.R. Tolkien was marking exam papers. He said later… “One of the candidates had mercifully left one of the...

There is something really weird with the BOOK and the the movie. Here´s what I´ve learned: When you put the ring on your finger; you come to another world, a creapy world were you don´t wanna be. It´s a different place were you see the eye and therefor the evil knows where the ring is...

Bilbo VS Frodo... Please excuse the long winded nature of this post - this is something that has only come to me over many years and I'm curious what others think. As a child, I fell in love w/ reading the Hobbit and of course Bilbo was THE character from that book for me. Shortly...

What actually happned to the treasure Bilbo got in the hobbit?

Bilbo knew some elvish right? How did He learn elvish?

Hello, Reading the prologue to the Lord of the Rings, I was wondering why bilbo had lied about the finding of the ring???? Was there a reason for this????? Thank - You

Well, I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but what do people think of the idea that Lord of the Rings is the book that Bilbo's writing? One thing I think that makes it possible is when Pippin and Merry become free and escape from the orcs in the Two Towers. Merry makes the comment...

When all was done and Bilbo went back to the Shire he only took two bags(or something like that) of gold ladden on one pony. but his fortune was great and none exactly knew how great it was. not even Frodo. so did Bilbo keep sending back to Bard to send him more of his share of the gold when he...

Was this offer by Bilbo only an action of willingness to "save" the world, a duty to finish what had started by him? Or did Bilbo also find an opportunity to get back the Ring?

From "Many Meetings": This was right after Bilbo had sung the song of Earendil and his sailing away to Valinor. But do you think that maybe it Frodo was dreaming about when he would be leaving Middle-Earth, and that is why it seemed to fit somehow and follow his dream? Just a curious...
