I read LotR before The Hobbit and expected them to be similar. I knew The Hobbit was a children’s book, but I expected to see something like a childrens version of King Arthur or Robin Hood that I read as a child. Instead, what I got was a reasonably contemporary novel written for children...

Imagine if you will, the Shire, precisely as depicted in the Fellowship movie. But in this instance a paulty million dollars budget per episode... With a cast of a few dozen, you would find the Gaffers, the old men who frequent the Green Dragon nightly. The Faunts, little rascals getting up to...

This is a radio play from 1980 in eight parts, you can even download it. It's going to be online til 24th of January 2024: J.R.R. Tolkien: Der Hobbit - Fantasy-Hörspiel-Klassiker Some more info on Ardapedia: Der Hobbit (Hörspiel)

Some may know her as the author of Moomins. It kinda makes me think of Zelda Wind Waker (before that game became a thing heh). But its kinda cool! https://lithub.com/take-a-look-at-tove-janssons-illustrations-for-a-swedish-edition-of-the-hobbit/

I'm currently writing an essay for school and I just need a couple more opinions on this topic...

Hi I am new here but I wanted to ask one question since there is a super extended lord of the rings trilogy that has not been released yet and each of the films would be five or six hours longer. My question I was asking is there a more scenes and hours that never made it to the extended...

Full disclaimer: I think it likely that nobody on this planet cares about this kind of thing but me. Nevertheless, I felt compelled to put it in a post, if only to get it out of my own head. So, here goes (wasn't sure if this was the right forum for this; if not, mods, please move to the...

I felt this is what Hobbit book was about. Adventure but also a childrens story. And overall relaxing atmosphere. I recorded it from my PS2. A very underrated game in my view published by Sierra in 2003.

I remember i was so hyped when this was new back in maybe 2011 or 2012, it came around that time probably. But then i saw the movie poster... and something was off THE BEARDS! O_O. No full blown beards. I can be ok with the edgy black cloaks as a director take on it, but... removing full...

Hi! I'm looking for editions of The Hobbit and the Rings trilogy that: -- preferably have no illustrations at all, including on the cover, -- or (2nd choice) have only Tolkien's original line drawings &/or his maps. Illustrations on the dust jackets would be okay, since I could remove...

So, I saw this on Facebook. CL

Did Tolkien ever mention that elves and hobbits actually had different shape ears, or was that invented for the films?

We have topic about Arwen's shoes. So now it's time for a Galadriel. What kind of shoes does she wear in LOTR and Hobbit movies? I guess that some kind of sandals and boots. I found a picture of her boots, probably used in movies.

Going through LOTR once more - I keep picking up on Pippin. What he says, what he does, his experiences and interactions with others. Is Pippin in LOTR the most like Bilbo in The Hobbit? He's this naive character, experiencing all kinds of new things, making all kinds of mistakes, asking all...

I read recently that minstrels were important in Anglo-Saxon England. A lyre was found in the Sutton Hoo ship burial. Bede reports that the poet Caedmon gave an account of villagers gathering to eat and drink in the evening and entertaining each other accompanied by a harp. There is also the...

The wiki on my man Legolegs says, The first sentence there probably indicates that there's no canon answer, and probably no indication in the notes of Tolkien. But if Legolas was sent to Rivendell to tell of the escape of Gollum from Mirkwood, that would imply that at the start of the War of...

I showed my prototype model of Bag End to 'The Ent' and he suggested I show it to TTF members. So here it is.

One thing I've noticed throughout Lord of the Rings is the fact that Frodo seems to act a bit like an Elf sometimes. This is more prominent in the movies, but I can definitely see it in the books as well. He speaks some things in Elvish, things that he most likely wouldn't have learned earlier...
