Okay so I was a little bit confused in Chapter 5. When Gollum is talking to himself he calls himself Gollum and my preciousss. I understand that he is talking to himself, but is Gollum his good side or evil side? Or does it not really matter and the author is just trying to show us that he is l...

Unless you've read chapter 12 then you'll have no idea what i'm talking about but why doesn't Smaug just shoot flames up the tunnel because he knows that's where Bilbo whent.

Jackie A · Jackie A

Okay so I'm like dying to know how the book ends, I don't read that fast!! I was slightly bored during other parts of the book, but now I know this is Bilbo's turn to show his bravery!! I mean seriously the book is called "The Hobbit". Looking forward to the next few chapters!

Ben R · Ben R

Do you think that the wood-were meant to catch the dwaves?

Courtney D · Courtney D

Gandalf is a wizard, Bilbo is a hobbit, and Thorin and Co. are all dwarves. We already know that Gollum is a species of his own, but what exactly is Beorn? Is he like Gollum, a species of his own, or did something happen that like, mutated him? I know he's a man-bear, but how did he get that way?

Lexus W · Lexus W

Ok......... for me I picture Gandalf as being this really tall skinny dude, with really skinny arms and legs, a long white beard, and a bald spot on his head that he covers up with hat. But yeah...........how do you picture him.[spoiler]

Who's your favorite character in The Hobbit and why? My favorite character has to be Bilbo, because he's so cute:) Ha I picture him as a little guy who has a big ol' belly and smiles alot. So anyways, who's your favorite?

Lindsay K · Lindsay K

If Bilbo has worn the ring, how come he hasn't had any addiction to it yet? Or does it take time to turn a person crazy after they have worn it?

Ariana V · Ariana V

Do you think Gandalf is going to come back in the end or never come back?What do think about this idea about Gandalf staying back and what might have cause him to stay back?

Hunter W · Hunter W

Why did the spiders continue to chase Bilbo even though they could not see him? Also why only one guard watching the dwarves?

April T · April T

Okay, so you guys noticed that there's a lot of singing and rhyming in The Hobbit, right? Well, do you think that's cool, or is it kind of annoying? Truthfully, The Hobbit isn't my type of story, because I'm not into the whole fantasy-like genre, but what irks me is the songs. I mean, they...

Katie B · Katie B

When Gandalf "burned" the wolfs,do you think he was thinking of the other problems that could have happened? Such as burnng part of the forest down.What would have you done?! What would you have felt?!

Kayla L · Kayla L

I laughed when I saw the way Dumbledore brought them in within the story and he was like; well actually, we have another two. I thought it was funny. What are your feelings about the way Dumbledore brought them in?

Chelsea N · Chelsea N

Who is your favorite dwarf and why? My favorite dwarf would have to be Bombur. Because he is chubby and cute!(: I just picture him having a BIG belly and eating a lot.

Daniel R · Daniel R

I know i'm probably one of the few that has finished but how do the wood-elves get all the food that they eat?

Sean S · Sean S

Do you think the ring Bilbo found could do more than just turn him invisible?

Katherine W · Katherine W

Okay was anyone else annoyed by the scaredy-cat elves? Do you think that after the other dwarves and Bilbo come to rescue Thorin (you know they will) they might become allies?

Joella I · Joella I

Do you think that Beorn was a bit disrespectful in the welcoming of the dwarves into his home? But after all, he did give them supper,a bed to sleep in, and breakfast. Also, where do you think that Beorn had went in the early morning?

Jacqueline G · Jacqueline G

Ok, You know how Gandalf is a wizard and all and he has magic powers so he can do cool things? Well my question is, If you could have 1 magic power for real, what would it be? Why?

Ashley P · Ashley P

Do you think Gandalf's tactics of bringing in all the dwarves was clever or mean? Would you have been scared to visit Beorn since the author stresses his bad attitude?
