Re: Hobbit articles
Hey, Morton -- both of those links worked just fine!
It's interesting that Freeman describes Bilbo as four feet tall, which makes him a relatively tall hobbit by Tolkien's standards. While watching the movie, I thought it looked like Bilbo might be something like 60% of Gandalf's height (around 3.5 feet), rather than Tolkien's nominal 50%. I suppose that made the scaling tricks easier, and was therefore more practical.
