Hobbit movie - An Unexpected Journey

It was a movie about the the rich kingdom of the dwarf  who has lots of gold and silver. But one day the dragon attacked.They held a party in the hobbit house to discuss the plan (how to kill the dragon) at last the dwarf decided to bring the hobbit because the hobbit is new to this place so the dragon can't smell him and he can be a spy for the dwarf.

Along the journey, the orcs, goblins and trolls attacked them and make it very difficult for them to continue the misson, let alone survive the attack.

In one of the scene in the movies, the Hobbit below was very brave. He charged at the Orc's men when the killer was about to chop off Prince Thorin's head.

After the incident, Prince Thorin apologized to the Hobbit for saying that he was a useless thing and a burden to them.



The swords used by Baggins the Hobbit will turn blue when the goblin trolls or orcs are near.

http://climbformemory.com/2012/12/10/how-to-memorize-all-the-names-of-the-dwarves-from-the-hobbit/



Dwalin
Dwalin is the only dwarf who’s partially bald. He also has a tattoo etched into his cranium (you can’t see it in this photo, but he does). So his distinguishing feature will be his bare dome. The name Dwalin sounds like “wall” so imagine him using his bare skull to barge down a wall. He also looks like a bad-ass, and bad-asses are always head-butting people into walls, right? Yup.






Balin
Balin is pretty easy to recognize because he is the oldest of all the dwarfs, and he looks it. In terms of a distinguishing feature, he’s the only dwarf with a grey/white, un-braided beard. Just a straight-up, cool, old man beard. The name Balin reminds me of a “ball,” so picture a ball being thrown into his big, big fluffy beard and it just landing – poof – all soft and cushiony. Fun fact: Balin is Dwalin’s older brother. Not-so-fun fact: Balin is the same dwarf that’s buried in the tomb that the fellowship finds in the Mines of Moria (in LOTR). I think he got shot by Orc’s. Bummer.





Kili
Kili is one of the youngest and I the least dwarf-looking of all of them. He’s also got the shortest, lamest, most non-existant dwarf beard (he looks like me after a few days of not shaving)….which is kinda against dwarf code, but that’s Peter Jackson’s poor character design. Anyways, let’s use the fact that he has the shortest beard. His name sounds like “kill” so I would imagine him killing people with a knife and then using that knife to trim his own beard super short. He also has the best eyesight out of all the dwarves (he’s always sent forth to lookout for evil things… things that might “kill” them…dun, dun, dun).


Fili
Kili’s bro. Another dwarf that looks sort of “man-ish” and not very dwarf-like, but his most distinguishing feature is his braided, blonde, dangly moustache (I need to grow one of these for Movember next year). Fili sounds like “fill”, so imagine filling up his moustache with braids. Or even crazier, imagine filling up his dangling moustache with “fleas” (also sounds like Fili). Yuck. Fun fact: Kili and Fili are the son’s of Dwalin’s sister, Dis (who is rumored to have sported a pretty mean beard. In other words, she was a total babe).






Dori
Dori looks like the brother from the movie “Step Brothers” (John Reilly)…or at least he does to me. There was a lot of door-slamming in that movie, since both brothers hated eachother at first. “Door” sounds like Dori. If you’ve never seen “Step Brothers” (which is sad news), then use his massive potato-sized schnoz as his distinguishing feature. Then imagine slamming a door in his face, thus causing his nose to swell up to the size of a potato.





Nori
Good god, Nori has one of the most amazing braided facial hair set-ups I’ve ever seen! His eyebrows are braided upwards into his hair. That’s just ridiculous. Anyways, just imagine that his facial hair is so impressive, that it’s just too hard to “ignore.” Nori = “ignore.”










Ori
Fun fact: remember in the first LOTR movie when Gandalf reads from the book that was laying against Balin’s tomb in the Mines of Moria? That was Ori who wrote that. So yeah, he died too…but way after ‘The Hobbit’ (I’m not spoiling anything!). Ok, Ori has the worst haircut out of all the dwarves (although that’s debatable). Either way, it’s a bowl cut. The name Ori sounds like “ore,” as in gold. Imagine his hair was actually a bowl and if you flipped it over, it was suddenly filled with mounds and mounds of gangsta bling gold (or ore). Another fun fact: Dori, Nori, and Ori are all brothers (their parents were obviously reallycreative with their names…).


Oin
Oin is brothers with Gloin and to me, is in serious need of some facial hair grooming – it’s all just a bit overgrown for my liking. You can use two things here as his feature: his massive curving moustache handlebars or his awesomely braided beard pig-tails. Both stick out pretty prominently, so let’s use them. The name Oin, reminds me of a British punk saying “oi!” so let’s picture Sid Vicious from the Sex Pistols being an ass and tying his handlebars and pig-tails together while shouting “Oi! Oi! Oi!”






Gloin
Gloin is easy because he’s the dad of Gimli (the only dwarf in the Lord of The Rings trilogy – Gimli son of Gloin) and they look nearly identical. If you don’t think so or know nothing about LOTR (ughh), then use his dark reddish hair (not super clear in this picture, but it’s there). He’s the only dwarf with such deep brown-red hair (Bombur has red hair too, but it’s more light orange than red). Gloin sounds like “groin” so imagine the old phrase that asks “does the carpet match the drapes?”….you get the idea….his red hair is probably the same color as the hair which is surrounding his groin. Not a pleasant thought, especially since he’s a Tolkien dwarf, but hey – it works. Fun fact: Gloin went to the Council of Elrond with Gimli in the first LOTR movie. He’s sitting there in that scene, but it’s hard to tell which one is him….

Bifur
This dwarf has a piece of axe stuck in his head (no idea why – I don’t even know if that was ever mentioned in the book). Picture some type of furry creature saying and waving “bye!” and then flinging that piece of axe into his head, as if meaning to kill him. “Bye-fur” = “Bifur.” FYI, he enjoys raspberry jam and apple-tart. He’s also the cousin of Bofur and Bombur.









Bofur
He’s the only dwarf with a hat, and a pretty massive hat at that. Let’s use that. Bofur is a tough name to come up with a picture for, but it sounds to me like the word “puffer” (it’s pronounced that way anyways, but with a ‘b’). So imagine diving under his hat and puffing and puffing until his hat gets bigger and bigger so that it’s as massive as it already is. Another option might be to think of “boff” as a sound one might make if being hit on top of the head. Imagine someone “boffing” him on top of the head, making his hat get stuck on tightly.



Bombur
The fattest dwarf EVER. His name is pretty easy just because of that alone. He’s round like a bomb. “Bomb” = Bombur. Or think of it like this, he eats so much that he’s always on the verge of exploding, like a bomb. He’s da bomb(ur), yo! Super fun fact: Frodo asks about him in LOTR and is told that later in life, Bombur got so fat that he could only move from his bed or couch when six dwarves lifted him….in other words, he probably got his own special on the Discovery Channel.







Thorin
Thorin reminds me of “Thor,” which reminds me of Thor’s hammer. Since Thorin is the leader of the clan, a descendant of king dwarves of old, and the most seemingly important dwarf of them all, imagine him ruling the other dwarves with a big hammer. He’s also got some grey streaks in his beard, probably similar to the color of the hammer itself, so imagine hammering his hair with big heavy blows, causing streaks of his hair to turn grey.







Andddd we’re done. Go buy your tickets and watch the midnight showing this Thursday and be all cool, knowing who each character is. Don’t you hate those movies where there are just way too many characters to remember and you can never recognize any of them? NOT THIS TIME.
Just to make sure, test yourself:
