Favourites

[Inoldonil]

Who's your favourite character in The Hobbit? Besides Bilbo, that's much too obvious a choice. I think I like Dori.

[Morkhon]

I always liked Fili and Kili.

[Elysha]

I choose Beorn, picturesque, wild and good, feasting on wild honey, fanagled into entertaining 14, enjoying their story, and then on the wild side, checking up on it as a bear. Straight out of the metamorphoses... and he also reminds me of Aslan.

[Sir Sputnik Gundam]

The Eagal is cool.

Elrond is nifty.

Gollum is the man.

Gandalf is mystical.

and Beorn is shape shifty.

if this doesn't answer your question nothing will. I guess I'm just trying to say that I can't limit my answer to just one character.:D

[Miralys]

I guess Gandalf and Gollum are also too obvious? :p If I can't choose them I suppose my favorite would have to be Thorin. Especially during his last moments in the book. That was very profound for me the first time I read it.

[Mace McClain]

Gandalf.

[webwizard333]

I can't seem to decide between the Eagles (as a collective group) or Gandalf

decisions, decisions...

[Inoldonil]

Go with the Eagles! Gandalf's been done before, I daresay.

[Idril Celebrindal]

hmmm.... I woud say... Thorin. He's a great character. (I tend to go for interesting rather than likeable characters - Thorin drove me up the wall half the time, but I find him interesting... sooo....)

[Istari Aiwendil]

I'd have to say Thorin is my favourite character

[Turambar6]

Thorin and Balin

[Istari Aiwendil]

Yeah Thorin would have to be my fave character

[ladyisme]

The elves of Rivendell with their "over merry tongues" are my favorites.

[Shanamir Duntak]

Agree with the bunch... Thorin's the "man" :P

[X Rogue]

I like Thorin and Beorn best, I think.

[Darkhalcyon]

I'd have to say elrond. He's the coolest of the elves!! and there's so much history related to him. plus i love all elves to death. i wish there were more in the Hobbit.

[Kirinki54]

Bard saved the day!
And he was a good king.

[Renille]

Fili and Kili...and Thorin. Of course.

[ringbearer]

I know it's weird but....I liked the trolls! Loved their dialog..."Mutton today, mutton yesterday, and blimey if it don't look like mutton agin' tomorrer!":D

[Varda]

Well my favorite parts in the books always have to do with Rivendell... So Elrond is my favorite overall. Gandalf, of course, but that is obvious... I didn't really like Thorin that much and Gollum was too slimy for me... I really liked Beorn a lot, though, and of the dwarves I liked dear Bombur even though he fell asleep and was too fat for anyone's good.

[Wayfarer]

Lazy lob and Crazy Cob were definitly interesting. :D

Gollum's always been my favorite.

[L@ur@y Elven Warrior]

Fili is my favourite

[Eothain]

Balin rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Smaug]

"You have nice manners for a thief and a liar" :)

Smaug was cool. :)

[Blackboar]

I LOVE Smaug!!!

I LOVE Dragons!!!

[Adrian Baggins]

Smaug and Blackboar are right Smaug rocks. I bet he sure was a sight with all those jewels on his stomache.

Fili is my favouriteHow do you always find these old threads?

[francod]

smaug, he is a funny funny sob

[durin's bane]

I like Bard the best!

[Ornelírë Mistë]

Smaug. I like what Smaug said above, "You have nice manners for a thief and a liar".
And Elrond.

[Bombadillo]

Other than Gandalf it's got to be Beorn. He's a cool creature thing and I like how he took it when he was fooled into entertaining 14 people.

[gimli7410]

i like bard and balin.

[Radagast The Brown]

My favorite character is Balin, or maybe Bilbo... (I'm not sure.)

[Ragnarok]

Beorn

[Jonathan]

My favourite of the dwarves is Balin. He was nice toward Bilbo, and together with Gandalf, he even visited the hobbit at the end of the book. That was a nice gesture.

[Este]

Hmmm...I'd go with Balin. He always seemed to be the nicest to Bilbo.

[Anglorfin]

Of all the Dwarves I liked Balin the best. He was the first to realize Bilbo's importance I think. I also thought Bard was very noble and a strong leader in a pinch.

[Dreran the Green]

:D GANDALF!!!:D

[LutraMage]

Yep, if we can't choose Bilbo, it has to be Gandalf - the guy was just so in control...

[elixir]

It's Smaug - the nice and cute dragon... :D :D :D

Oh, and Gollum was cool too, but I liked him more in LOTR ;)

[FRODOSLADY]

frodo

[Lizra]

Hey FL, He isn't in that book!! Who is your favorite in The Hobbit?

I like Bilbo, but the talking troll purse just kills me! :D

[legolialis]

I liked smaug

[Turgon_Turambar]

i didnt really like Thorin as he seemed to me a bit stck up and ignorant. Dori was kind to Bilbo.
Gandalf was pretty cool so was Bard.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Smaug. After all, he wasn't bothering anybody (recently) until these thieves came along to steal back what he had stolen from them.

Count me in with ringbearer! (he's not weird in my opinion). :D

[Anadriewen]

I agree with Turbon_Turambar on Dori. Hey, Dori's in Finding Nemo!

[Imric]

I've always had a fondness for Bard the Bowman (and Slayer of Smaug) who later becomes Lord of the reconstructed Dale.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

"Our favourites characters were in the riddle game, precious.
Except where nassty tricksy Baggins cheats poor Smeagol.:(
And it wasn't a proper riddle, gollum! Thief, thief, thief! Curse the Baggins! He cheats us!":mad:

[ktdanza]

I'm sorry if it is too obvious, I simply like Bilbo the best! In The Hobbit that is...he's different in The Lord of the Rings...

I think he just epitomizes hobbits.

[Bombadillo]

Beorn all the way. Nobody gave him credit for the Battle of Five Armies. There were six, when Beorn showed up. Plus, he showed the company great hospitality, despite the anxiety he also caused.

[Lady Ravyn]

i have to agree with bombadillo: beorn was awesome
i also liked bombur

Bilbo's my favourite character, though I agree Beorn doesn't get quite enough credit. He really helped the group tons, they would have been finished without his supplies, though Gandalf might have thought of something else.

[kiddstodd]

Gloin and Balin
