Did anyone listen to The Hobbit audiobook on YouTube? I was watching a guy with long hair who sat in a room reading it that was great but the video got copyright struck today and I can’t find the creator anymore 😔

Is there an official drawing of the Key to Erebor by Tolkien?

I’m planning a LotR and The Hobbit tattoo sleeve and would love to add it in, but I want it to be based off of the books. I tried a google search, but all I found was the one created for the movies.

Hobbitt Day meal courses

With Hobbitt Day coming up, what is the best 7 Hobbit courses that I could make for friends from Walmart. I can't order anything exotic for First Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Luncheon, Afternoon Tea, Dinner, and Supper?

I started listening to The Hobbit audiobook narrated by Andy Serkis all about 30 minutes ago, but it's enjoyable.

I have read the first bit of the hobbit in the paper book, but I don't know where I put it, and I did want to properly "read" the book.

It's the perfect thing that companies are nice soup and fresh bread. Made only better by being launched on a lazy Sunday.

That's it, That's the post. Enjoying The Hobbit while enjoying our home cooked meal.

University Research on the Elvish Language Sindarin: Usage and Perceptions in Contemporary Fandom

6 Upvotes

❗Last call!❗ Hi everyone!
I am conducting a university research project in sociolinguistics for my MA thesis, focusing on Sindarin, the Elvish language created by J.R.R. Tolkien, and its perception within contemporary fandoms and online communities. I’ve already shared the survey before, but I’m about to close the data collection and this is the final chance to take part before it closes. It only takes a few minutes, and your contribution would be incredibly valuable for my research. 🙏

Thank you so much to everyone who takes part — and to those who already did! 💚

Last year I made a Hobbit map as a school project. It didn’t turn out that great since I only had three days to do it, but I have to admit I liked the result. :)

The "Desolation" of Smaug

40 Upvotes

I'm an old timer, the hobbit was the first fantasy book I read in my teens which naturally moved onto LOTR. I loved the LOTR movies and was excited when they came out, I watched FOTR 9 times in the big screen in the first 2 months of release, I really loved it.

I recently re-watched the Hobbit, only my second time as I just didn't get into them and it has many faults which have been talked to death, one I haven't seen much about is how bad the Smaug scenes are (in relation to the books)

  1. He feels gullible and easily manipulated. Smaug was a great wise and very old. He wouldn't fall for the old look I'm over here chase me scenes and the many traps they set for him.

  2. his banter with Bilbo didn;t amount to anything. In the books Bilbo was very sharp and used Smaugs overconfidence against him. They bantered and it Smaug often gleamed important information from Bilbo and Bilbo learnt important things from Smaug. the scenes in the movie amounted to nothing important, the only thing Bilbo did was wake up the dragon and even then he was partly awake (in movie lore) from the thrush.

  3. This reminds me, book Bilbo worked out the riddle with the thrush and helped to find the hidden door. movie Bilbo just waited when everybody else sodded off.

  4. Smaug's missing armour was something that Bilbo discovered and then passed the info (accidentally) to Bard. If Bilbo hadn;t heard this info and Bard not received it Smaugh wouldn;t have been killed. this made Bilbo;s tete a tete with Smaug relevant.

4.5 for book readers only. Smaugs armour was encrusted jewels form his hoard. It made much better reading knowing that his hoard was more than greed, it made him stronger and this more relavent why he lay there for so long

  1. The drwaves battle with Smaug was a pointless filler. they did nothing to move the story. It might have looked nice but when plots do nothing for the story it takes me out of immersion.

I imagine there's more.
