The house of hobbits

According to NerdoftheRings on Instagram, a new "History of The Hobbit" is coming in March 2023! No changes in the book, but this version's design is in line with the recent books we've gotten like Nature of Middle-earth & Fall of Númenor. Makes me wonder if we might get new versions for all of...

Jules Bass of Rankin-Bass, which produced the animated Hobbit and ROTK in the late '70's, has passed away. In some respects, those animated versions were better than the later PJ movies.

I always thought that Tolkien described the life of hobbits as the "real life" should be for him. Perhaps he had come to the conclusion that he found that talking about Hobbits living that way should reflect society rather than a gray life, made of money, work culture and rat race? What do you...

Oh, you can search far and wide You can drink the whole town dry But you'll never find a beer so brown (But you'll never find a beer so brown) But you'll never find a beer so brown As the one we drink in our hometown You can keep your fancy ales You can drink 'em by the flagon And the only brew...

Hello all! Long time lurker, first time poster here. Thought I would start with a bit of an ice breaker. So I'm a 5′4″ (162 cm) guy with size 18 US / 17 UK / 55 EU feet. Yep, I'm basically a real life hobbit. It's due to a genetic anomaly - I was born with disproportionately large feet and...

When the Lord of the Rings movies came out I felt the three were as close to perfection as possible, but when the three Hobbit movies came out I was disappointed. It's not that such a thin book was stretched out into three movies, which seems to be a common objection. I loved the added content...

:D Besdies, was there anything more mentioned about this battle? Is there anything mentioned about these diamonds or the Old Took? He's a mysterious character. If there's more I don't remember please tell me! Been a while since I read the Hobbit.

I figured this deserved a thread of its own and I couldn't find any so I created one. Mods, feel free to merge with any existing thread. Anyway, I watched this yesterday for the first time in a while and I'm amazed at how different it seems from the last time I saw it. Things I forgot about the...

------- THE HOBBITS AND THE RING ------- Behind a green door, a round green door, with a yellow brass knob in the center a Hobbit there lived in comfort and bliss, his visitors welcome to enter. His clan was Baggins, Bilbo his name; for no adventures, and wealth respected. Food and...

Paragraph from the recent hardcover book 'The Nature of Middle Earth' - Edited by Carl F. Hostetter (Page 195) Deals with what happens to the Hobbits (as race) in the 3rd age - once Aragorn has died and the long years afterwoods... I was quite shocked by this revelation, and the millions of...

I found a rendition of The Hobbit that in my opinion is better than the trash PJ made...enjoy

There was a facsimile of the first edition published in 2020. Did anyone get it or look at it? I think I will pick a copy as I'm interested in all the changes that were made. For instance, in the chapter "Roast Mutton" there is a mention of "old castles with an evil look, as if they had been...

I get he fully didn't know WHAT they were but I think it's likely, even before meeting Strider, that he knew WHERE they were from. As such, he should have realized that these Black Riders were quite capable of killing any Hobbit, including innocent bystanders, that crossed their path...

Mainly known for Moomins comic strips and author of it. But she also illustrated other works including The Hobbit. I read "according to reddit, so source is questionable" but that reason Gollum looks like this, is because the first edition didnt have (small slimy creature) reference. But...

I carry this thing around in a zipper-secured side compartment of my keys pouch. I've had it since a vacation to Switzerland back in 1996: This is what it looks like opened: From left to right, it has an eyelet to attach it to a key chain, a flat screwdriver, a Philips-head screwdriver...

Anyone familiar with this? I have an opportunity to bid on a copy at a local auction.

?

I vaguely remember some part like this, which was probably from either "The Hobbit" or "Lord Of The Rings"; it was something about hobbits being surprisingly good at recovering from unpleasant experiences and getting their spirits back, so that for example they could experience some really...

Hi, I came across this video about hobbit size human species from Flores island, which lived just few tens of thousand years ago.
