[[Peter Jackson]] initially planned to produce two films, but following the conclusion of principal photography, and on seeing early cuts of these films, he decided that he wanted 'to tell more of the tale'. Therefore on [[30 July]], [[2012]], Jackson announced that 'two films will become three'.<ref name="PJFilmThree"/><ref name="FilmThreePR">{{webcite|author=[[New Line Cinema]], [[MGM|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios]], and [[Warner Bros.|Warner Bros.

==Development==
===Origins===
[[Peter Jackson]] and [[Fran Walsh]] first considered the possibility of filming ''[[The Hobbit]]'' and ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' in [[1995]]. They hoped to produce three films, the first based on ''The Hobbit'', with the second and third films being adaptations of ''The Lord of the Rings''. Rights to ''The Hobbit'' proved difficult to secure because whilst [[Saul Zaentz]] owned the production rights, [[United Artists]] held the distribution rights. After much wrangling with studios and the script, filming began for the three-film adaptation of ''The Lord of the Rings''. The notion of a ''Hobbit'' film was consequently put to one side. Indeed, after completing his ''Lord of the Rings'' trilogy project, Jackson was averse to the idea of directing an adaptation of ''The Hobbit''.<ref name="HobbitOfficialMovieGuide">[[Brian Sibley]], ''[[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: Official Movie Guide]]'' (2012)</ref>

{{Blockquote|If I were to make these films, I would be frustrated because I would be constantly thinking about what I had done on ''The Lord of the Rings''. I would somehow feel that I had to build or improve on that. I thought it would be a fairly unsatisfying experience to have to compete against my own movies.|[[Peter Jackson]]<ref name="HobbitOfficialMovieGuide"/>}}

===Directorship===
The apathy of [[Peter Jackson]] was the first obstacle to block the way to a ''Hobbit'' film (or films). In early [[2005]] it came to public attention that Jackson was suing [[New Line Cinema]].<ref name="BBCNewsPJSues">{{webcite|articleurl=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4312463.stm|articlename=Director sues over Rings profits|dated=2-Mar-2005|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref> This cast doubt on whether or not The Hobbit would ever be made. Jackson later told fans that, due to the dispute, he would neither direct nor produce the film.<ref name="BBCNewsPJSues" /> In late 2007 it was confirmed that Jackson would not direct, but ''would'' be an executive producer for two Hobbit movies.<ref name="BBCNewsPJProducer">{{webcite|articleurl=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7150644.stm|articlename=Jackson to produce Hobbit movies|dated=18-Dec-2007|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref> It was later announced that [[Guillermo del Toro]] would direct the films, and that Jackson will be an active 'executive producer' with the possibility that he would help direct some scenes if necessary.<ref name="BBCNewsGdTDirector">{{webcite|articleurl=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7366375.stm|articlename=Del Toro to direct Hobbit movies|dated=25-April-2008|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref>

However, on [[30 May]] [[2010]] it was revealed that del Toro could no longer commit himself to direct ''The Hobbit'' films, citing the continued delays in production in his reasoning.<ref name="BBCNewsGdTDirectorLeave">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10204138|articlename=Guillermo del Toro 'leaves' as director of The Hobbit|dated=1-June-2010|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref> Peter Jackson later announced that he would direct both films.<ref name="NZHPJDirector">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10681008|articlename=The Hobbit gets green light, Jackson to direct|dated=16-Oct-2010|website=[http://www.nzherald.co.nz/ NZ Herald News]|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref>

===The Tolkien Estate's legal action against New Line Cinema===
{{Blockquote|The estate has [...] asked for a court order giving them the ability to terminate any rights the studio have to make films based on other Tolkien works, including The Hobbit.|BBC News Online<ref name="BBCNewsTELegal"/>}}
Production of ''The Hobbit'' films was held up by the [[Tolkien Estate|Tolkien Estate's]] legal action against [[New Line Cinema]]. The Estate should have received 7.5 per cent of all profits from the films under the agreement made by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] with United Artists in [[1969]]. Crucially, they also sought to stop the production of ''The Hobbit'' films until the case was settled.<ref name="BBCNewsTELegal">{{webcite|articleurl=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7240421.stm|articlename=Rings film studio sued for $150m|dated=12-Feb-2009|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref> The legal row was finally settled in September [[2009]] after the Tolkien Estate successfully sued New Line Cinema for breach of contract and fraud, receiving a reported $220 million in compensation.<ref name="BBCNewsTELegalSettle">{{webcite|articleurl=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8245300.stm|articlename=Legal path clear for Hobbit movie|dated=8-September-2009|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref>

===Industrial dispute in New Zealand===
Even before the issue of the directorship had been settled, and before the project was given the go-ahead by the studios, the International Federation of Actors (IFA) told actors to actively avoid participation in the production of ''The Hobbit'' films.<ref name="BBCIndustrial1">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11414204|articlename=Union tell actors to avoid Hobbit films|dated=26-September-2010|website=BBC|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref> The IFA issued this "Do Not Work Order", on [[24 September]], [[2010]], on the basis that the studios refused to engage in union-negotiated contracts.<ref name="FIADNW">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.aftra.org/4AB692BB8467439D83C12A8A2C44B077.htm|articlename=FIA Do Not Work Order: 'The Hobbit'|dated=24-September-2010|website=[http://www.aftra.org/ The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists]|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref> Meanwhile the studios argued that they could not make an agreement with a trade union under New Zealand law.<ref name="BBCIndustrial1"/>

[[Peter Jackson]] subsequently warned that the dispute could lead to a huge delay and that production could easily transfer to Eastern Europe.<ref name="BBCIndustrial2">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11417340|articlename=Peter Jackson threatens Hobbit shutdown|dated=27-September-2010|website=BBC|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref> John Key, the incumbent Prime Minister of New Zealand, weighed in on the dispute saying that he hoped the dispute would not force ''The Hobbit'' production to move overseas. He also announced that the New Zealand government had gotten involved in the discussions.<ref name="BBCIndustrial3">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11465248|articlename=Hobbit movie 'should stay in New Zealand' says PM|dated=4-October-2010|website=BBC|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref>

Whilst the studios announced that filming would begin the following February,<ref name="BBCIndustrial4">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11560411|articlename=The Hobbit to begin filming in February next year|dated=17-October-2010|website=BBC|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref> the dispute remained unsettled. With the studios seriously considering moving the production abroad, large numbers of New Zealanders protested in Auckland, [[Wellington]], and Christchurch.<ref name="BBCIndustrial5">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11617860|articlename=New Zealanders rally behind Hobbit shoot|dated=25-October-2012|website=BBC|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref> A settlement was finally reached on [[27 October]], [[2010]], with the Prime Minister himself announcing the news, hoping to prevent the loss of jobs in New Zealand and to reinforce the country's Tolkien tourism industry.<ref name=BBCIndustrial6>{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11633724|articlename=The Hobbit will be made in New Zealand, PM confirms|dated=27-October-2012|website=BBC|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref> As part of the agreement, the New Zealand government passed legislation which clarified that film industry workers are independent contractors rather than employees.<ref name="BBCIndustrial7>{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11649734|articlename=Hobbit legislation passed in New Zealand|dated=29-October-2010|website=BBC|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref> Filming finally began on [[21 March]], [[2011]].<ref name="BBCNews1"/>

===Film Three===
The original plan was to produce two films, entitled ''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'' and ''The Hobbit: There and Back Again'' (to be released in [[14 December]] [[2012]] and [[13 December]] [[2013]] respectively).<ref name="HBTitles"/>

At [[Wikipedia:San Diego Comic-Con International|San Diego Comic-Con International]] 2012, [[Peter Jackson]] revealed that he hoped to film more material (based on [[The Appendices]]) in [[2013]]; this led to speculation that there could be a third "Hobbit" film. These rumours gained substance following media reports that Jackson was in discussion with [[Warner Bros.]] about the notion of an additional film.<ref>{{webcite|author=Ben Fritz, Steven Zeitchik and Nicole Sperling|articleurl=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-hobbit-third-movie-jackson-20120724,0,2208206.story|articlename=|dated=24-July-2012|website=[http://www.latimes.com/ Los Angeles Times]|accessed=26-July-2012}}</ref> It later emerged that Walsh and Boyens were sent to Los Angeles to pitch the idea to [[Warner Bros.]] whilst Jackson continued to shoot footage.<ref name="EmpireDecember2012"/>

On [[30 July]], [[2012]], [[Peter Jackson]] announced that there would indeed be a third "Hobbit" film. After watching the early cuts of the first two films, Jackson, Walsh and Boyens decided that they wanted to tell more of the story.<ref name="PJFilmThree">{{webcite|author=[[Peter Jackson]]|articleurl=http://www.facebook.com/notes/peter-jackson/an-unexpected-journey/10151114596546558|articlename=An unexpected journery|dated=30-July-2012|website=Facebook|accessed=20-July-2012}}</ref>

On [[31 August]], [[2012]], it was revealed that the titles of the second and third films would be ''[[The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug]]'' and ''The Hobbit: There and Back Again'' respectively. The release of the first and second film remained unchanged, whilst the third film is due for release on [[17 December]], [[2014]] (moved from the initial release date of [[18 July]], 2014).<ref name="HBTitles2"/><ref name="TABAMoved"/>

On [[24 April]], [[2014]], Peter Jackson revealed that the final film would be re-titled ''[[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies]]''

Principal photography ended on [[6 July]], [[2012]], after 266 days filming.<ref name="PJFilming"/>

Although "pick-up" filming had already been planned for [[2013]], it emerged that extra filming would need to take place to accommodate the expansion of the project from two films into three.<ref name="EmpireDecember2012"/>

==Technical details==
===3D===
[[File:John Howe and Alan Lee - 3D concept art.png|thumb|left|3D concept art by [[John Howe]] and [[Alan Lee]]]]
''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'', ''The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'', and ''The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'' were filmed in 3D using [[Wikipedia:Red Digital Cinema Camera Company|RED Epic]] cameras. A rig designed by [[Wikipedia:3ality Technica|3ality Technica]] is being used in the filming of the three films; here two cameras and a mirror are used in order to achieve an intraocular effect similar to that of a human's (the distance between the eyes). This is how the depth required for 3D film is achieved.<ref name="ProductionVideo4">{{webcite|author=[[Peter Jackson]]|articleurl=http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150451523596807|articlename=THE HOBBIT, Production Video #4|dated=4-Nov-2011|website=FB|accessed=10-Feb-2012}}</ref>

Most of [[John Howe|John Howe's]] and [[Alan Lee|Alan Lee's]] concept art has continued to be produced in 2D. However, they have collaborated on 3D pieces using the simple red and blue 3D effect.<ref name="ProductionVideo4"/>

===48 frames per second===
Breaking with conventional filming techniques, ''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'', ''The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'', and ''The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'' are being filmed by capturing 48 frames per second (FPS), twice the normal film standard of 24 frames per second. This makes the film look far more realistic. When describing what people thought when they saw clips of ''The Hobbit'' shown at 48 frames per second, Peter Jackson said that it's 'like the back of the cinema has had a hole cut out of it where the screen is and you're actually looking into the real world'.<ref name="ProductionVideo4"/>

Jackson later discussed the advantages of filming at higher frame rate and in 3D.

{{Blockquote|Now, in the digital age, there’s no reason whatsoever to stick to 24 fps. [...] Science tells us that the human eye stops seeing individual pictures at about 55 fps. Therefore, shooting at 48 fps gives you much more of an illusion of real life. The reduced motion blur on each frame increases sharpness and gives the movie the look of having been shot in 65mm or IMAX. One of the biggest advantages is the fact that your eye is seeing twice the number of images each second, giving the movie a wonderful immersive quality. It makes the 3D experience much more gentle and hugely reduces eyestrain. Much of what makes 3D viewing uncomfortable for some people is the fact that each eye is processing a lot of strobing, blur and flicker. This all but disappears in HFR 3D.|[[Peter Jackson]]<ref name="PJHFR3D">{{webcite|author=[[Peter Jackson]]|articleurl=http://www.facebook.com/notes/peter-jackson/qa-on-hfr-3d/10151299493836558|articlename=Q&A ON HFR 3D|dated=19-November-2012|website=FB|accessed=19-November-2012}}</ref>}}

Additionally, the ''The Hobbit'' films are being filmed at a 5K resolution. This is substantially larger than the conventional 1080 HD resolution. The films are being filmed digitally onto 128 GB memory cards that fit into the RED Epic camera.<ref name="ProductionVideo4"/>

One of the drawbacks of filming 48 frames per second at 5K resolution is that the make-up, prosthetic, prop, set, and costume departments have to work differently. For example, the make-up and prosthetic departments have to redden up the faces of the actors much more than usual because otherwise their skin colour will turn up yellow on the final film. Furthermore, real hair has to be used in order to achieve an authentic look when it moves around.<ref name="ProductionVideo4"/>

Ten minutes of footage was shown at 48 FPS during the [[Warner Bros.]] presentation at [[Wikipedia:CinemaCon|CinemaCon]] [[2012]]. The reaction was mixed. The ''Los Angeles Times'' described the picture as 'hyper-realistic' and the Associated Press described 'vivid, with grass blades, facial lines and soaring mountains appearing luminous and pronounced. The actors looked almost touchable, as if they were performing live on stage'. However, an anonymous projectionist said that '[i]t looked like a made-for-TV movie'.<ref name="BBC48FPS">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17836380|articlename=Peter Jackson unveils new Hobbit footage|dated=25-April-2012|website=BBC|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref><ref name="LAT48FPS">{{webcite|articleurl=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2012/04/cinemacon-hobbit-frame-rate-depp-gatsby.html|articlename=CinemaCon: Footage of 'The Hobbit' draws mixed reaction|dated=24-April-2012|website=[http://www.latimes.com/ ''Los Angeles Times'']|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref>

==Games and merchandise==
===Video games===
In late [[2011]], the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that [[Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]] would release a video game based on ''The Hobbit'' in lieu of the release of ''[[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey]]'' in December [[2012]].<ref>{{webcite|author=Ben Fritz|articleurl=http://articles.latimes.com/2011/oct/18/business/la-fi-1018-ct-warner-interactive-20111018/2|articlename=Warner's approach to video games is paying off|dated=18 October 2011|website=[http://www.latimes.com/ ''Los Angeles Times'']|accessed=2 March 2012}}</ref>

In September [[2012]], [[Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]] announced that it would produce two free-to-play video games, in co-operation with [[Kabam]].
*The first, a mobile-phone game named ''[[The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth]]'', was released in November 2012.

==Development==
===Origins===
[[Peter Jackson]] and [[Fran Walsh]] first considered the possibility of filming ''[[The Hobbit]]'' and ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' in [[1995]]. They hoped to produce three films, the first based on ''The Hobbit'', with the second and third films being adaptations of ''The Lord of the Rings''. Rights to ''The Hobbit'' proved difficult to secure because whilst [[Saul Zaentz]] owned the production rights, [[United Artists]] held the distribution rights. After much wrangling with studios and the script, filming began for the three-film adaptation of ''The Lord of the Rings''. The notion of a ''Hobbit'' film was consequently put to one side. Indeed, after completing his ''Lord of the Rings'' trilogy project, Jackson was averse to the idea of directing an adaptation of ''The Hobbit''.<ref name="HobbitOfficialMovieGuide">[[Brian Sibley]], ''[[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: Official Movie Guide]]'' (2012)</ref>

{{Blockquote|If I were to make these films, I would be frustrated because I would be constantly thinking about what I had done on ''The Lord of the Rings''. I would somehow feel that I had to build or improve on that. I thought it would be a fairly unsatisfying experience to have to compete against my own movies.|[[Peter Jackson]]<ref name="HobbitOfficialMovieGuide"/>}}

===Directorship===
The apathy of [[Peter Jackson]] was the first obstacle to block the way to a ''Hobbit'' film (or films). In early [[2005]] it came to public attention that Jackson was suing [[New Line Cinema]].<ref name="BBCNewsPJSues">{{webcite|articleurl=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4312463.stm|articlename=Director sues over Rings profits|dated=2-Mar-2005|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref> This cast doubt on whether or not The Hobbit would ever be made. Jackson later told fans that, due to the dispute, he would neither direct nor produce the film.<ref name="BBCNewsPJSues" /> In late 2007 it was confirmed that Jackson would not direct, but ''would'' be an executive producer for two Hobbit movies.<ref name="BBCNewsPJProducer">{{webcite|articleurl=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7150644.stm|articlename=Jackson to produce Hobbit movies|dated=18-Dec-2007|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref> It was later announced that [[Guillermo del Toro]] would direct the films, and that Jackson will be an active 'executive producer' with the possibility that he would help direct some scenes if necessary.<ref name="BBCNewsGdTDirector">{{webcite|articleurl=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7366375.stm|articlename=Del Toro to direct Hobbit movies|dated=25-April-2008|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref>

However, on [[30 May]] [[2010]] it was revealed that del Toro could no longer commit himself to direct ''The Hobbit'' films, citing the continued delays in production in his reasoning.<ref name="BBCNewsGdTDirectorLeave">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10204138|articlename=Guillermo del Toro 'leaves' as director of The Hobbit|dated=1-June-2010|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref> Peter Jackson later announced that he would direct both films.<ref name="NZHPJDirector">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10681008|articlename=The Hobbit gets green light, Jackson to direct|dated=16-Oct-2010|website=[http://www.nzherald.co.nz/ NZ Herald News]|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref>

===The Tolkien Estate's legal action against New Line Cinema===
{{Blockquote|The estate has [...] asked for a court order giving them the ability to terminate any rights the studio have to make films based on other Tolkien works, including The Hobbit.|BBC News Online<ref name="BBCNewsTELegal"/>}}
Production of ''The Hobbit'' films was held up by the [[Tolkien Estate|Tolkien Estate's]] legal action against [[New Line Cinema]]. The Estate should have received 7.5 per cent of all profits from the films under the agreement made by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] with United Artists in [[1969]]. Crucially, they also sought to stop the production of ''The Hobbit'' films until the case was settled.<ref name="BBCNewsTELegal">{{webcite|articleurl=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7240421.stm|articlename=Rings film studio sued for $150m|dated=12-Feb-2009|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref> The legal row was finally settled in September [[2009]] after the Tolkien Estate successfully sued New Line Cinema for breach of contract and fraud, receiving a reported $220 million in compensation.<ref name="BBCNewsTELegalSettle">{{webcite|articleurl=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8245300.stm|articlename=Legal path clear for Hobbit movie|dated=8-September-2009|website=BBC|accessed=11-Feb-2012}}</ref>

===Industrial dispute in New Zealand===
Even before the issue of the directorship had been settled, and before the project was given the go-ahead by the studios, the International Federation of Actors (IFA) told actors to actively avoid participation in the production of ''The Hobbit'' films.<ref name="BBCIndustrial1">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11414204|articlename=Union tell actors to avoid Hobbit films|dated=26-September-2010|website=BBC|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref> The IFA issued this "Do Not Work Order", on [[24 September]], [[2010]], on the basis that the studios refused to engage in union-negotiated contracts.<ref name="FIADNW">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.aftra.org/4AB692BB8467439D83C12A8A2C44B077.htm|articlename=FIA Do Not Work Order: 'The Hobbit'|dated=24-September-2010|website=[http://www.aftra.org/ The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists]|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref> Meanwhile the studios argued that they could not make an agreement with a trade union under New Zealand law.<ref name="BBCIndustrial1"/>

[[Peter Jackson]] subsequently warned that the dispute could lead to a huge delay and that production could easily transfer to Eastern Europe.<ref name="BBCIndustrial2">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11417340|articlename=Peter Jackson threatens Hobbit shutdown|dated=27-September-2010|website=BBC|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref> John Key, the incumbent Prime Minister of New Zealand, weighed in on the dispute saying that he hoped the dispute would not force ''The Hobbit'' production to move overseas.

===Film Three===
The original plan was to produce two films, entitled ''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'' and ''The Hobbit: There and Back Again'' (to be released in [[14 December]] [[2012]] and [[13 December]] [[2013]] respectively).<ref name="HBTitles"/>

At [[Wikipedia:San Diego Comic-Con International|San Diego Comic-Con International]] 2012, [[Peter Jackson]] revealed that he hoped to film more material (based on [[The Appendices]]) in [[2013]]; this led to speculation that there could be a third "Hobbit" film. These rumours gained substance following media reports that Jackson was in discussion with [[Warner Bros.]] about the notion of an additional film.<ref>{{webcite|author=Ben Fritz, Steven Zeitchik and Nicole Sperling|articleurl=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-hobbit-third-movie-jackson-20120724,0,2208206.story|articlename=|dated=24-July-2012|website=[http://www.latimes.com/ Los Angeles Times]|accessed=26-July-2012}}</ref> It later emerged that Walsh and Boyens were sent to Los Angeles to pitch the idea to [[Warner Bros.]] whilst Jackson continued to shoot footage.<ref name="EmpireDecember2012"/>

On [[30 July]], [[2012]], [[Peter Jackson]] announced that there would indeed be a third "Hobbit" film. After watching the early cuts of the first two films, Jackson, Walsh and Boyens decided that they wanted to tell more of the story.<ref name="PJFilmThree">{{webcite|author=[[Peter Jackson]]|articleurl=http://www.facebook.com/notes/peter-jackson/an-unexpected-journey/10151114596546558|articlename=An unexpected journery|dated=30-July-2012|website=Facebook|accessed=20-July-2012}}</ref>

On [[31 August]], [[2012]], it was revealed that the titles of the second and third films would be ''[[The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug]]'' and ''The Hobbit: There and Back Again'' respectively.

On [[24 April]], [[2014]], Peter Jackson revealed that the final film would be re-titled ''[[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies]]''

Although "pick-up" filming had already been planned for [[2013]], it emerged that extra filming would need to take place to accommodate the expansion of the project from two films into three.<ref name="EmpireDecember2012"/>

==Technical details==
===3D===
[[File:John Howe and Alan Lee - 3D concept art.png|thumb|left|3D concept art by [[John Howe]] and [[Alan Lee]]]]
''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'', ''The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'', and ''The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'' were filmed in 3D using [[Wikipedia:Red Digital Cinema Camera Company|RED Epic]] cameras. A rig designed by [[Wikipedia:3ality Technica|3ality Technica]] is being used in the filming of the three films; here two cameras and a mirror are used in order to achieve an intraocular effect similar to that of a human's (the distance between the eyes). This is how the depth required for 3D film is achieved.<ref name="ProductionVideo4">{{webcite|author=[[Peter Jackson]]|articleurl=http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150451523596807|articlename=THE HOBBIT, Production Video #4|dated=4-Nov-2011|website=FB|accessed=10-Feb-2012}}</ref>

Most of [[John Howe|John Howe's]] and [[Alan Lee|Alan Lee's]] concept art has continued to be produced in 2D. However, they have collaborated on 3D pieces using the simple red and blue 3D effect.<ref name="ProductionVideo4"/>

===48 frames per second===
Breaking with conventional filming techniques, ''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'', ''The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'', and ''The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'' are being filmed by capturing 48 frames per second (FPS), twice the normal film standard of 24 frames per second. This makes the film look far more realistic. When describing what people thought when they saw clips of ''The Hobbit'' shown at 48 frames per second, Peter Jackson said that it's 'like the back of the cinema has had a hole cut out of it where the screen is and you're actually looking into the real world'.<ref name="ProductionVideo4"/>

Jackson later discussed the advantages of filming at higher frame rate and in 3D.

{{Blockquote|Now, in the digital age, there’s no reason whatsoever to stick to 24 fps. [...] Science tells us that the human eye stops seeing individual pictures at about 55 fps. Therefore, shooting at 48 fps gives you much more of an illusion of real life. The reduced motion blur on each frame increases sharpness and gives the movie the look of having been shot in 65mm or IMAX. One of the biggest advantages is the fact that your eye is seeing twice the number of images each second, giving the movie a wonderful immersive quality. It makes the 3D experience much more gentle and hugely reduces eyestrain. Much of what makes 3D viewing uncomfortable for some people is the fact that each eye is processing a lot of strobing, blur and flicker. This all but disappears in HFR 3D.|[[Peter Jackson]]<ref name="PJHFR3D">{{webcite|author=[[Peter Jackson]]|articleurl=http://www.facebook.com/notes/peter-jackson/qa-on-hfr-3d/10151299493836558|articlename=Q&A ON HFR 3D|dated=19-November-2012|website=FB|accessed=19-November-2012}}</ref>}}

Additionally, the ''The Hobbit'' films are being filmed at a 5K resolution. This is substantially larger than the conventional 1080 HD resolution. The films are being filmed digitally onto 128 GB memory cards that fit into the RED Epic camera.<ref name="ProductionVideo4"/>

One of the drawbacks of filming 48 frames per second at 5K resolution is that the make-up, prosthetic, prop, set, and costume departments have to work differently. For example, the make-up and prosthetic departments have to redden up the faces of the actors much more than usual because otherwise their skin colour will turn up yellow on the final film. Furthermore, real hair has to be used in order to achieve an authentic look when it moves around.<ref name="ProductionVideo4"/>

Ten minutes of footage was shown at 48 FPS during the [[Warner Bros.]] presentation at [[Wikipedia:CinemaCon|CinemaCon]] [[2012]]. The reaction was mixed. The ''Los Angeles Times'' described the picture as 'hyper-realistic' and the Associated Press described 'vivid, with grass blades, facial lines and soaring mountains appearing luminous and pronounced. The actors looked almost touchable, as if they were performing live on stage'. However, an anonymous projectionist said that '[i]t looked like a made-for-TV movie'.<ref name="BBC48FPS">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17836380|articlename=Peter Jackson unveils new Hobbit footage|dated=25-April-2012|website=BBC|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref><ref name="LAT48FPS">{{webcite|articleurl=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2012/04/cinemacon-hobbit-frame-rate-depp-gatsby.html|articlename=CinemaCon: Footage of 'The Hobbit' draws mixed reaction|dated=24-April-2012|website=[http://www.latimes.com/ ''Los Angeles Times'']|accessed=31-July-2012}}</ref>

==Games and merchandise==
===Video games===
In late [[2011]], the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that [[Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]] would release a video game based on ''The Hobbit'' in lieu of the release of ''[[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey]]'' in December [[2012]].<ref>{{webcite|author=Ben Fritz|articleurl=http://articles.latimes.com/2011/oct/18/business/la-fi-1018-ct-warner-interactive-20111018/2|articlename=Warner's approach to video games is paying off|dated=18 October 2011|website=[http://www.latimes.com/ ''Los Angeles Times'']|accessed=2 March 2012}}</ref>

In September [[2012]], [[Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]] announced that it would produce two free-to-play video games, in co-operation with [[Kabam]].
*The first, a mobile-phone game named ''[[The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth]]'', was released in November 2012. In this game the player is able to manage his own kingdom and play as either [[Elves]] or [[Dwarves]].<ref name="IGN-Kingdom and Armies">{{webcite|author=Luke Karmali|articleurl=http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/09/26/warner-bros-announces-the-hobbit-games|articlename=Warner Bros.

*The second, a strategic browser-based game called ''[[The Hobbit: Armies of the Third Age]]'', allows the player to play as either the [[Elves]], [[Dwarves]] or [[Orcs]] (including several heroes from ''The Hobbit'' films). It is is unknown when ''The Hobbit: Armies of the Third Age'' will be released.<ref name="IGN-Kingdom and Armies"/><ref>{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://www.kabam.com/nl/the-hobbit-armies|articlename=THE HOBBIT: ARMIES OF THE THIRD AGE|dated=|website=[http://www.kabam.com Kabam]|accessed=24 November 2012}}</ref>

''[[Guardians of Middle-earth]]'', a "Multiplayer Online Battle Arena" video game by Monolith Productions, will include some playable characters ("guardians") from The Hobbit films. Additional The Hobbit "guardians" will be added after the release of The Hobbit, to tie in with the films.<ref>{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://www.guardiansofmiddleearth.co.uk/game|articlename=Game Info|dated=|website=[http://www.guardiansofmiddleearth.co.uk/ Guardians of Middle-earth]|accessed=24 November 2012}}</ref>

===Lego===
On [[17 December]], [[2011]], it was announced that the [[Lego|Lego Group]] had received the rights to create Lego sets based on ''The Lord of the Rings'' and ''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey''. The first sets on The Hobbit were released in the end of 2012.<ref>{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://aboutus.lego.com/en-us/news-room/2011/december/warner-bros-consumer-products-and-the-lego-group/|articlename=Building sets based on THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ Trilogy and the Two Films Based on THE HOBBIT|dated=16 December 2011|website=lego.com|accessed=2 March 2012}}</ref>

'''Bungo Baggins''' ({{TA|2846}} - {{TA|2926|n}}, died aged 80<ref name="Baggins">{{App|C1}}</ref>) was a well-to-do [[Hobbits|Hobbit]], and the father of [[Bilbo Baggins]].

==History==
Bungo was the eldest child of [[Mungo Baggins]] and [[Laura Grubb]]. He married [[Belladonna Took]], daughter of the [[Gerontius Took|Old Took]], towards {{SR|1290}}. Bungo and Belladonna had only one child together, the infamous [[Bilbo Baggins]].<ref name="Baggins"/>

Apart from fathering Bilbo, Bungo's other achievements were that he built and excavated the rather luxurious [[Bag End]] in the [[Hobbiton Hill|Hill]] in [[Hobbiton]] and that he laid down several bottles of [[Old Winyards]] wine that would be enjoyed by [[Rorimac Brandybuck]] after [[Bilbo's Farewell Party]]<ref name="Party"/> and by the small party on [[21 September]] {{TA|3018}} that [[Frodo Baggins]] gave before leaving Bag End.<ref>{{FR|Three}}</ref>

Bungo had an aptitude for either remembering or coining proverbs. Bilbo quoted his father's sayings "third time pays for all" before making his first descent into [[Erebor]]<ref>{{H|Inside}}</ref> and "while there's life there's hope" when leading the Dwarves down to [[Smaug]]'s lair.<ref>{{H|Home}}</ref>

== Spam ==

I don't know if you or Morgan already contacted Hyarion, but I've just emailed him about today's spam influx.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 17:23, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

:I completely forgot to do that. I was too busy having flashbacks to a couple of years back. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 17:32, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

::Thanks for all your effort to undo the mess guys, and thanks for the e-mail KA. For the time being I've just shut off new account creation until we implement a stricter process. Although I'm having a hard time thinking of something stricter, manual approval wouldn't even work since it would be sometimes difficult to differentiate solely based on the username. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 17:44, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

:::You may be aware that I am pretty much computer-less at the moment (temporarily boring a PC right now). The way to fix this, Hyarion, is to change the CAPTCHA questions in LocalSettings.php. That will stop them until they figure out an answer. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 10:54, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

== List of Book that inspired Tolkien ==

It is difficult to put link sources when I just created the page and was begining to edit including informations, and you delete the page... Be more pacient. Otherwise it will be hard to help this wiki. {{unsigned|Sigurd }}

:Couple of things:
* Add new messages at the ''bottom'' of the talk page. They go in chronological order from old to new.
* The entire concept is vague. "Books that inspired Tolkien"? Inspired him on what? To write a book? To become a philologist? To write an alternate mythology for England? To write a specific element?
* As I said, sources. The only source you list is a summary of his personal library, without explaining how this book being in his library inspired him. Unless you have a specific sources that explicitly says Book X inspired him to do action Y, it's just speculation.
* No content other than a list. The introduction is essentially "Books that have inspired Tolkien are books that have inspired Tolkien".
* Basic layout and spelling. That's something that you should do before saving the page.
:As this is a vague and slippery slope (just as our existing train wreck [[Inspirations]] is), it adds nothing at the moment. Without addressing all these points (apart from the first, naturally), I see no point in having it. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 13:38, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

:Couple of things:
* Whatever. If you see the message works.
* To put links, sources and more informations need time to included.
* I was working in that page and adding all informations. But is Impossible to do this when someone came and deleted the page... minutes after I began to write.
* So I think you have to whait some time before going to deleted a page. That is not the first time that you dont have paciense.{{unsigned|Sigurd}}

::While you're putting the page together you can use [[User:Sigurd/Sandbox|a sandbox in your user area]].--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 16:37, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

== Battle of the Five Armies ==

I'd just come on to change all the links - I'm glad you beat me to it! Thank you! --{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 19:17, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

== Song_of_the_Lonely_Mountain (Talk_Page) ==

Hello. Please forgive me, I really made a mistake: the confusion occured.So, in this time, could you help me, where can I publish my translation? On the forum? (From Pnompen)

:We're not really the right place for fan translations. Also, what would it help? None of us here knows Russian. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 15:45, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

== Copyright Violation ==

May I ask why the images I uploaded are copyright violations? I personally asked the artist through deviantART. I asked through a note, so I can send you a printscreen or something. She told me that she does not mind as long as she is credited and it is not for profit. I also asked for these three specific images. --[[User:Sandy|Sandy]] 15:08, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

:I explained what you needed to add on your message wall. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 15:14, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

::If you mean my Discussion page nothing new has showed up. If you mean another message wall then I have no idea what it is. Sorry :( --[[User:Sandy|Sandy]] 15:28, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

==Elves infobox==

: Yes, you are right about the Longbeards. After all, most of the Dwarven characters in the legendarium are Longbeards.

To return to the topic...As you have no doubt already seen that I created the template for the generic Elven infobox, I think some of the characters from the legendarium should be put under that template: for example: Imin, Tata, Enel and their spouses and many other Elven characters who's nationality isn't determined by any of the writings.

Celeborn would be a good candidate for such a template and few other major characters who have ambiguous histories...

==Woolly Mammoth, the Nuisance everlasting==
:: To [[User:Ederchil]] and [[User:Mith]] - wouldn't it be much easier for you to unblock me than to constantly tidy up my "mess" - I have much to contribute to this wiki - and, as I said before, I SINCERELY apologize for any insult made to any of you, especially to [[User:Mith]]. From a more practical perspective, it would be good for you to unblock me - of course, if you do not want to clear up the mess that will be gathering in the following years - I am not a madman - I simply feel insulted by your behavior - I would like to edit this wiki - as I no doubt showed before - and it would be to your well-being (and to the well-being of this site) if I would continue editing this Wiki without any further hindrance. As for the images that I uploaded - I have proof that the permission was granted - although I have not been able to present the evidence to you - but if you unblock me I will - the visual representation of [[Tolkien]]'s works is to me, at least, an important aspect of his work. That is the reason I am hellbent on including the images, and I spend a lot of time on DevinatArt searching for Tolkien related art, and I am in good relation to other members of that community. This is all for me at the time - and I hope you will reconsider the ban.

Respectfully - Woolly Mammoth! [[User:Laurentus|Laurentus]] 20:48, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

:It's "Mess" because you're doing exactly the same we told you ''repeatedly'' not to do before. You're blocked. Every time you make a new account, you're evading a block - which is also a blockable offence. You're in the penalty box. You can't just jump back on the ice after putting on a teammate's jersey.
:Quite frankly, your "practical perspective"... that's an insult. Not just to me (or Mith), but to pretty much every moderator on all kinds of wikis and forums, everywhere on the internet. If you don't see that, I really can't help you. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 21:08, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

== Again ME ==
I was just wondering...You are cutting the branch on which you are sitting by consistently blocking my unnumbered profiles. Tell me now...Wouldn't it be easier for you and me to simply unblock me? I have added more "canonical" information to this site than everyone here around.

Take for example [[Maedhros]] (which, according to Tolkien's latest use, should be MaeDros) - I have added information which none of your timid fellows has been wont to do.

And by [[User:Mith|Mith]]'s Pythonesque farewell of "fucking off", I wonder if you, my dear "administrators", hold any supremacy over my "uncivil" behaviour. In the end, I altogether guessed rightly that most of you are, indeed, assholes (or at least you have buried your head in it).

Yours truly...dear Woolly Mammmoth ;).

:Your arrogance is truly mindboggling. You were blocked. This ban evasion is also a blockable offense. No matter the quality of your edits, you won't be unblocked.

== Tim Burton article ==

Why was it deleted? Tim Burton actually DID work on the 1978 Lord of the Rings film. Sure, he wasn't that famous at the time, but he still did artwork for it. We've got articles for fan films, so I don't see why we couldn't have an article for someone that worked on an official adaptation, however minor the involvement was. It just seems like disrepect to ignore the humble beginnings of such a well-known filmmaker, especially since a lot of people weren't all too famous until they were involved in adapting Tolkien's work. [[User:EldritchNexus|EldritchNexus]] 15:59, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

:The only reason he had an article was not because he
worked on LotR, but because he did other, more famous stuff later. We wouldn't have articles on other artists on the movie either. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:10, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

::So what? We have separate articles for regional translators and for the Inklings, even the ones that probably never even LOOKED at one of Tolkien's books. We even have articles for artists that worked on the Peter Jackson movies and the other two animated films. What makes the 1978 film the exception? If the article seemed like it was just advertising Tim Burton's other stuff, then how about rewriting it so that it seemed more relevant to Tolkien instead of just deleting it? It's like throwing away a perfectly good pizza just because it had an extra topping you didn't want. [[User:EldritchNexus|EldritchNexus]] 16:15, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

:::I would argue it's throwing out a pizza because we're a pie shop. The problem is, there isn't much. What exactly did he work on? --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:34, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
::::Well, Tim Burton was uncredited for his work, but it was one of the first movies he ever worked on, so it's to be expected. He was mostly an "inbetween" artist, so I guess that means he did some miscellaneous artwork. Couldn't tell you which ones were all his, though. Also, in response to that "pie shop" analogy, I'd like to remind you that"pizza pies" are a thing.[[User:EldritchNexus|EldritchNexus]] 17:05, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

--> Okay, here's a compromise: Have the Tim Burton article on this site, but keep it simple, so that it doesn't delve too deeply into his post-LOTR career. Something like:

:"'''Tim Burton''' (born on August 25th, 1958) is an American filmmaker. He made his film debut in 1978, as an artist for [[Ralph Bakshi]]'s animated film adaptation of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)|The Lord of the Rings]]''. He mostly worked on miscellaneous artwork as an "in-between" artist and thus largely remained uncredited for specific pieces."

:What do you think? [[User:EldritchNexus|EldritchNexus]] 19:49, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

::Not sure on the use of "miscellaneous artwork". In-between artists also needs no quotation marks, it's a normal job description - they're the people who make the animation fluid by creating the art that's in between the rougher, preliminary animation. The finishing touches. It'd be nice to know what scenes he worked on, if that could be found at all. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 20:35, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

== Vunasti Mamut ==

Hello! Ederchil! Despite all my mistakes and insults...I truly regret that...Listen up! T is my favorite badass vilaine! I have spent a shitload of time trying to escape from the inevitable killing machine

== Explanation ==

Do you think I am a liar(that I am lying to you) or I make some kind of a joke about Bolg? In '''One Wiki to Rule Them All''' wiki and in Wikipedia pages about Bolg and the Hobbit film trilogy it is never said that Bolg participated in the Battle of Azanulbizar.Moreover, in the One Wiki to Rule Them All wiki about Unamed Orc Brute it is said that Bolg and this Unamed Orc Brute are separate characters.Also you can check it and in Bolg page on IMDB. So that is why I am asking you to change the page on [[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey]] about Bolg.See: Cast

You believe me that I am not liar or I that this is not some kind of joke? {{Unsigned|2.86.255.196}}

:You're neither a liar nor a joker. You're simply incorrect. Those three sources you list are, like us, third party sources. We included sources that he was initially cast as Azog, before being recast as Bolg. I'd have to check, but BalrogTrainer mentions he appears in the credits as Bolg. Nowhere was he credited as Gundabad Orc or Unnamed Orc Brute. You're removed two primary sources, and offered none in return. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 11:33, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Am I disturbing you?BalrogTrainer is right. If you see at the end credits of the First Hobbit film you will find that Conan Stevens is credited as Bolg.This is wrong because in the next two movies Conan Stevens is not credited as Bolg. This mistake the filmmakers should see and fix it.Why didnt they fix it? Do you know any way to contact with the filmakers in order to mention this mistake and correct it? Or anyone else WHO knows about these matters? {{Unsigned|2.86.255.196}}

:We don't know why they changed it. But the fact remains: he was credited as Bolg (I checked it myself in the mean time). So we list him as Bolg. No reason to list him as anything else. I don't think it was ever fully explained why he was recast. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 20:22, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

No no no.I am asking you if you know how to contact with the filmakers of the Hobbit film trilogy in order to correct this mistake in the end credits of the First Hobbit film or if you know anyone else WHO is expert on that matters. {{Unsigned|2.86.255.196}}

:Try looking for contact details of MGM or New Line Cinema. However, it wasn't a mistake at the time the movie was released. That was still Bolg back then. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 21:42, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

== Peter Jackson cameo appearence in [[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies]] ==

Peter Jackson appears uncredited in ''[[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies]]''.He makes a cameo appearence at the end of the third Hobbit film in the painting of Bungo Baggins in case you dont know it.This painting can be seen in the final scene at the Bag End when Bilbo (Martin Freeman) returns home.You can check it on IMDB page about Peter Jackson and in Wikipedia page about Peter Jackson.

== Hans-Ulrich Möhring ==

Hey Mith! I saw, that you deleted the article about the German translator Hans-Ulrich Möhring (''The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún'') with the comment ''"Just not notable enough"''. Möhring was now responsible for the German translation of another posthum released work. ''The Fall of Arthur'' will be published under the title ''König Arthurs Untergang'' on 21 March, 2015 in Germany, translated by Hans-Ulrich Möhring. I think, that two translations of complex lyrics by J.R.R. Tolkien are enough to legitimate the existence of an article about him. What do you think? --[[User:Sigismond|Sigismond]] 09:08, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

:For me, no (although others might take a different view). We have a painful habit on TG of creating articles about individuals which are essentially one line: "X is a Y who worked on Z." Is there anything (verifiable) to say about Möhring as translator of ''Sigurd and Gudrún'' and ''The Fall of Arthur'' beyond the fact that he translated them? --{{User:Mith/sig}} 09:14, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

::I see what you mean. To write something about his translation work on ''The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún'' (in my opinion) would make no sense in an English Wiki, so the only mentionable point would be the fact, that Möhring corresponded with Tom Shippey while translating. If you think, that the article is of no importance for Tolkien Gateway, then it's ok. I just wanted to know the reasons. --[[User:Sigismond|Sigismond]] 09:32, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

:::If he'd corresponded with Tolkien himself then that would put him in a different category, in my view. My fear is having an article that essentially doesn't really tell the reader anything. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 19:26, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

== Page merging question ==

Hey Mith, I went ahead and tackled merging [[Sea-elves]] into [[Teleri]]. I wasn't sure if my method of merging the pages was right: I copied the wiki-edit text to the other page and edited it some, then marked the original page for deletion. I changed the links that lead to Sea-elves to [[Falmari]] or Teleri where needed. I wasn't sure if this was good or if I needed to do anything else/something different. [[User:Xsys|xsys]] 19:39, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

:Hi xsys, and welcome to Tolkien Gateway! To merge a page we transfer the appropriate content and turn the page into a redirect (i.e. we don't mark it for deletion) - the reason for this is so people who search for "Sea-elves" will be taken to the Teleri page, for example. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 20:30, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

::That makes sense. Thanks! [[User:Xsys|xsys]] 20:33, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

==Obituary title==

''Henry Bradley: 3 Dec., 1845-23 May, 1923'' is the official title of the obituary published in [[Bulletin of the Modern Humanities Research Association 20]] . All references I consulted used this title.So I think the article it should remain with that name. {{unsigned|Sigurd}}

:Absolutely not. Aside from the fact I don't think we need an article for an obituary written for someone on whom we have [[Henry Bradley|a very short article]] (we'd end up with a longer article on the obituary than on the man himself!), naming the article "''Henry Bradley: 3 Dec., 1845-23 May, 1923''" would be ridiculous verbose and unwieldy. If an article must be made it should be something like "Obituary for Henry Bradley", but I would be against its creation. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 18:31, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

::I dont think ridiculous since Tolkien himself give the name to the article. Someone put the same name in reference of that Bulletin 1923 here:[[http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Index:Writings_by_J.R.R._Tolkien Index:Writings_by_J.R.R._Tolkien]].And other books I read use the same name.In addition, the obituary contains a poem written by Tolkien in Old English.

==Picture==
Hey, I noticed while skipping through pages that the picture for the page The Road Goes Ever On and On: The Maps of Tolkien's Middle Earth has nothing to do with the theme of the page as far as I can see. Yes, it's a picture of a book of maps, but it's not a picture of the book of maps we are talking about. I am still an utter newbie with this programing, and have no idea how to change the picture to a more accurate one. [[User:Arya|Arya]]

:Done. [http://tolkiengateway.net/w/index.php?title=The_Road_Goes_Ever_On_and_On:_The_Map_of_Tolkien%27s_Middle-earth&curid=35192&diff=272100&oldid=214177 Look at the change I've made] to see how the coding works. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 08:52, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

::Good that. Will be changing quite a few pics myself, correct me if you don't think that they are right. The titles match!!! :) [[User:Arya|Arya]]

==Elendilmir==

How should we address the confusion surrounding the number and fates of the different incarnations of the Elendilmir? See my note on the talk page of the relevant entry. [[User:WadCheber|WadCheber]] 06:13, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

:By discussing it on that article's talk page, and '''not''' on my talk page. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 07:21, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

::Sorry if I bothered you. This was literally the first interaction I've had with anyone on this site. I wasn't aware that I was doing something wrong. I asked you because the post on my talk page told me to bring any questions to you. I won't make the same mistake again. [[User:WadCheber|WadCheber]] 04:28, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

:::A user's talk page is for them specifically to respond (i.e. an issue directly for that user); an article's talk page is for discussion about that article (i.e. for anyone in the community). The problem with having a conversation elsewhere is that the discussion/decisions are divorced from the article - in future months/years other users won't think to look at my talk page to find out why a decision was made. It's simply good housekeeping to keep everything together with the article.
:::The welcome message on your talk page wasn't actually written by me (and I've been meaning to change it for a while), but there's a complicated technical reason why [[User:Mithbot|my bot]] has to leave the message. But when it comes to "''If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the Council forums or ask me on my talk page.''" the implication - which probably should be clearer - is that "any questions" are about the site/editing/policy/style as opposed to the future of individual articles.
:::I have obviously seen your contributions on both [[User talk:WadCheber#Welcome!|your own]] and [[User talk:Hyarion#Greeting new users|Hyarion's]] talk pages - I shall respond to it all here to prevent fragmentation of the conversation. I think "''After looking through the other entries in his talk page, I got the impression that this is pretty much par for the course with him.''" is unfair - there is only one user, WoollyMammoth, I was very firm with; he had made a lot of edits and was a particularly confrontational user who was [http://tolkiengateway.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block subsequently banned by another admin for his behaviour]. That does not indicate someone who "''is determined to be laconic and/or borderline hostile''" or who intends to "''chase people away''".
:::Having said all the above, my previous message was obviously a curt one, for which I apologise; I shouldn't have been so short with you and should have explained the situation more thoughtfully. On this occasion I did bite the newbie - thank you for calling me out on it. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 08:48, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
:::: No problem. We all make little mistakes. Thank you for explaining the issue more clearly. WoollyMammoth sowed the wind, so he reaped the whirlwind. No fault on your part there. I was talking about other, less obvious instances in your interactions above, but there is nothing so far beyond the pale as to call your personal qualification as an admin into question. I was probably a bit overly defensive as well. Thanks again for the advice and explanation. [[User:WadCheber|WadCheber]] 22:21, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

::::In fact, I should probably apologize to you as well. I think I overreacted. I was having a bad day myself, and I took it out on you, with very little reason. [[User:WadCheber|WadCheber]] 00:06, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

:::::Great to have you aboard WadCheber! I'm glad we got everything cleared up. If you have any other questions or suggestions don't hesitate to let us know, we really appreciate the feedback.

==Genealogy==
Hello Mith. I have been getting use to making family tree's on TG but I have come across a problem. When I want to expand a family tree in the x direction, I can't figure out the code to do it. I looked at the Baggins family tree for an example of x scrolling and I found right before you write familytree/start, there is a line of code telling the tree to overflow to the right if it can't fit within the boundary. When I copy and paste that line into my family tree exactly like it is in the Baggins tree, it doesn't overflow to the right. All I am wondering is what I am missing or if I'm doing something incorrectly. This would be a massive help. {{unsigned|Ríë}}

:Could you paste here the code you are using so I can take a look at it? --{{User:Mith/sig}} 07:57, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

::< div style="overflow-x: scroll; overflow-y: hidden; border: 1px solid #AAAAAA; padding: 3px; background: #EEEEEE;" > I had to put spaces between the <_d and "_> so the command wouldn't run. {{unsigned|Ríë}}

:::There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. Are you remembering to put <nowiki></div></nowiki> after <nowiki>{{familytree/end}}</nowiki> at the end of the template?

== Tweaking LOTRO information ==

Thanks for fixing my errors, sorry for messing up in the capitalization of 'adaptations.' I have some questions. Fitst, could you help me with citing information about Earnur in the Mordirith article if that is necessary? Also I noticed you put names from the game in quotes, could you explain that? Maybe I missed something in the style guide. Finally, I'm uncertain about when to use in-universe vs. out-of-universe voice and past tense vs. present tense in the Portrayal in Adaptations sections. [[User:Sullathron|Sullathron]] 19:32, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

:With references you will need to cite third-party websites (such as IGN) using the [[Template:Webcite|webcite template]]. I put in quotemarks all the invented characters and locations so it was more obvious that they weren't borrowed characters from Tolkien's universe; but you are right this isn't in the Style Guide. Portrayal in adaptations sections (the issue was more your spelling "adapations") should be descriptive and so have an "out-of-universe" voice in my view; preferably the past tense. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 23:37, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

::Oh, I never noticed the spelling mistake. Thanks for catching that. For the [[Mordirith]] article I meant to ask for help citing the bit from the books about Eärnur, but I found it. For my LOTRO sources, I use the LOTRO wiki when I can, otherwise I look for it in the game myself, and when I can I check both. Is there a way I can cite the game directly, similarly to how the [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages] cite the Elder Scrolls games? I also noticed you removed the category I put into [[Arnach]], if it is a location in LOTRO is it not appropriate to categorize it if it's also categorized as a word? I don't think the city in the game is significant enough for its own article. I wish there was a place on the wiki to write about the events and people from the game from an in-universe perspective, though. [[User:Sullathron|Sullathron]] 03:10, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
::PS: On an unrelated note, what's the deal with the guy who keeps making sockpuppets to make lots of very minor edits? Seems very odd to me. [[User:Sullathron|Sullathron]]

:::I'm not entirely sure you can cite the books for a character that is massively changes for the game. You can't cite another wiki; we don't have a reference template for LOTRO because I don't know enough about the game in order to be able to reference it - is there a a way I can understand the structure of quests and epic books and things like that? The Lord of the Rings Online locations category is for locations invented for the game. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 09:42, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

::::Ah, I only cited the information that actually came from the books - that is that [[Eärnur]] was challenged twice by the [[Witch-king]], the second time he went to [[Minas Morgul]] and was never heard from again. Don't worry, I got that part figured out now. [[Arnach]] is a location invented for the game, it is the capital city of [[Lossarnach]]. Epic books are just a way of categorizing the Epic Series, the quests that tell the main storyline of the game. Most of the quests in the game are categorized under the region they are found in. In the game, I get most of the information from the dialogue windows NPCs have when talking to them for quests, the deed log, and the game map. I can take some screenshots later if that would help you get a better idea of it. [[User:Sullathron|Sullathron]] 12:54, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

::::Also, I'll try to follow your advice about using past tense, but it's tricky when describing ongoing parts of the game. My best idea is to use present tense for persistent parts of the game and past tense when describing lore and events from the game, if that makes sense. For example "Dol Amroth '''is''' a city in Western Gondor. It '''was''' blockaded by corsairs." How does that sound? [[User:Sullathron|Sullathron]] 13:59, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

:::::I'd prefer the past tense. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 20:46, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
::::::Sorry, I'm fixing it. There's also the other stuff I was talking about up there, when you're not busy. Thanks. {{User:Sullathron/sig}} 22:48, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Hey Mith I don't mean to be a bother but why did you undo my edit about the North Downs' portrayal in LOTRO? I put some work into that. If it's about sources, I'm sorry if I'm getting ahead of myself. I started a forum post asking for help with that. {{User:Sullathron/sig}} 13:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

:It was too much for one adaptation; we aren't a LOTRO wiki, we're a Tolkien wiki - I thought the length of the section was disproportionate. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 13:30, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

::I suppose you are right. I'm still disappointed, though. I really want a place for articles about all the lore the game adds.

::There is the Lotro-wiki, but that is mostly written in a gamer perspective ("Do this in that quest, do that in this instance") and the lore bits are scattered around in no organized way. Besides, I think spoilers would be more of an issue there. Someone might want to look up the fight against Mordirith but not see the spoilers about his other identities.

::Then there is lotr.wikia.com, but... I don't know. Something I don't like about it as much, it seems less professionally done. Too based on the movies, and to use the North Downs as an example I'm pretty sure someone put their own fanon on that page. ...I suppose that's all the more reason to work there, it's just discouraging when the other wikis are such a mess. {{User:Sullathron/sig}} 13:55, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

== Woolly Mammoth ==
To [[User:Ederchil]] and [[User:Mith]] - wouldn't it be much easier for you to unblock me than to constantly tidy up my "mess" - I have much to contribute to this wiki - and, as I said before, I SINCERELY apologize for any insult made to any of you, especially to [[User:Mith]].

From a more practical perspective, it would be good for you to unblock me - of course, if you do not want to clear up the mess that will be gathering in the following years - I am not a madman - I simply feel insulted by your behavior - I would like to edit this wiki - as I no doubt showed before - and it would be to your well-being (and to the well-being of this site) if I would continue editing this Wiki without any further hindrance.

As for the images that I uploaded - I have proof that the permission was granted - although I have not been able to present the evidence to you - but if you unblock me I will - the visual representation of [[Tolkien]]'s works is to me, at least, an important aspect of his work. That is the reason I am hellbent on including the images, and I spend a lot of time on DevinatArt searching for Tolkien related art, and I am in good relation to other members of that community. This is all for me at the time - and I hope you will reconsider the ban.

Respectfully - Woolly Mammoth! [[User:Laurentus|Laurentus]] 20:49, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

:No, it wouldn't be easier. Even with your sockpuppets you are continuing to display the behaviour for which you were banned, further proving why you were banned in the first place. Nor am I going to unblock you under threat of creating further mess over the following years. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 17:05, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

==Another Thing==
I will NOT post any other images, nor will I edit any page without your consent - the fact that I made so many sock-puppets was only because I could not contact [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] and reconsider my ban - and I am sorry if you had to clear up my mess (although it was not all mess) - in any case - I WANT TO MAKE THIS SITE AS GOOD AS IT CAN BE - I cannot alter my past relations with the administrators on this site, but I DO hope I can smooth things with you. [[User:Laurentus|Laurentus]] 21:01, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Nice of you to show your face at last - if my memory serves right, I was supposed to be "civil" on this wiki. How about your, my dear Shaun - I am not entirely sure if "fuck off" could be considered civil. And as for deleting all my contributions which are, for the most part, better than over 5000 members on this wiki, you, and I mean you and all of the rest contributors to this site are poorer than it should have been. And I have a feeling that you are doing this out of pure spite - pity.

Now...I can, of course, download the HTML page to my computer before you ruin all that I have put effort into it.

And now...for the last goodbye - FUCK OFF! (although I have some more malicious thoughts springing in my mind)

And don't worry, I am no lunatic nor a madman - I sometimes get into a fits of black wrath, and I loath mockery or shame, for which those who have let their tongues go free (or too free) into perilous realms shall curse the day when their tongues overruled their minds.

So here we part, and like I said before, I have only two words worthy of you - FUCK OFF! [[Special:Contributions/193.109.199.22|193.109.199.22]] 00:41, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

== Infobox number removals. ==

Why'd you remove them, out of curiosity? As far back as I can remember those numbers were there. Thought they were sourced. My apologies if not.

[[User:Bloody Mary|Bloody Mary]] 07:12, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

:I'm assuming you mean troop numbers in battle articles? Whether text in an article is long-standing isn't a deciding factor (if anything, the older the text the more inaccurate the article is likely to be), but as you rightly point out, there simply wasn't a source with those exact figures. Furthermore they included suppositions and contradictions; as an example the [[Siege of Gondor]] said "Unknown number engaged, approx. 75,000+ total (overall).", which is both a contradiction (either the troop numbers are unknown or not) and a supposition (the approximate figure which wasn't based on a source).
:All the battle/war articles are in a dreadful state containing fanon (which we have mostly weeded out over the year), lacking sources, and generally being rather poor in their tone.

== Could the front page features change some? ==

The front page is great, but it hasn't changed in ten months. I've only been here for a few months, but the impression I get from the Recent Changes page is that all of your time is taken up cleaning up vandalism. It makes me sad to see your efforts confounded by this. I think the unchanging nature of the "Featured Article" and other front page items reflects this. I wonder what can be done.

[[User:TimothyChenAllen|Timothy Chen Allen]] 12:49, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

:The homepage hasn't been changed because the Thranduil article hasn't been sufficiently updated. I don't mind clearing up vandalism - and it really doesn't take that - but I don't think it's right to say that it takes up all my time (nor is it connected with the homepage). What we need is editors who will edit articles to make them worthy of being featured. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 14:39, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

I don't know if you or Morgan already contacted Hyarion, but I've just emailed him about today's spam influx.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 17:23, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

:I completely forgot to do that. I was too busy having flashbacks to a couple of years back. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 17:32, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

::Thanks for all your effort to undo the mess guys, and thanks for the e-mail KA. For the time being I've just shut off new account creation until we implement a stricter process. Although I'm having a hard time thinking of something stricter, manual approval wouldn't even work since it would be sometimes difficult to differentiate solely based on the username. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 17:44, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

:::You may be aware that I am pretty much computer-less at the moment (temporarily boring a PC right now). The way to fix this, Hyarion, is to change the CAPTCHA questions in LocalSettings.php. That will stop them until they figure out an answer. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 10:54, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

== List of Book that inspired Tolkien ==

It is difficult to put link sources when I just created the page and was begining to edit including informations, and you delete the page... Be more pacient. Otherwise it will be hard to help this wiki. {{unsigned|Sigurd }}

:Couple of things:
* Add new messages at the ''bottom'' of the talk page. They go in chronological order from old to new.
* The entire concept is vague. "Books that inspired Tolkien"? Inspired him on what? To write a book? To become a philologist? To write an alternate mythology for England? To write a specific element?
* As I said, sources. The only source you list is a summary of his personal library, without explaining how this book being in his library inspired him. Unless you have a specific sources that explicitly says Book X inspired him to do action Y, it's just speculation.
* No content other than a list. The introduction is essentially "Books that have inspired Tolkien are books that have inspired Tolkien".
* Basic layout and spelling. That's something that you should do before saving the page.
:As this is a vague and slippery slope (just as our existing train wreck [[Inspirations]] is), it adds nothing at the moment. Without addressing all these points (apart from the first, naturally), I see no point in having it. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 13:38, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

:Couple of things:
* Whatever. If you see the message works.
* To put links, sources and more informations need time to included.
* I was working in that page and adding all informations. But is Impossible to do this when someone came and deleted the page... minutes after I began to write.
* So I think you have to whait some time before going to deleted a page. That is not the first time that you dont have paciense.{{unsigned|Sigurd}}

== Song_of_the_Lonely_Mountain (Talk_Page) ==

Hello. Please forgive me, I really made a mistake: the confusion occured.So, in this time, could you help me, where can I publish my translation? On the forum? (From Pnompen)

:We're not really the right place for fan translations. Also, what would it help? None of us here knows Russian. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 15:45, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

== Copyright Violation ==

May I ask why the images I uploaded are copyright violations? I personally asked the artist through deviantART. I asked through a note, so I can send you a printscreen or something. She told me that she does not mind as long as she is credited and it is not for profit. I also asked for these three specific images. --[[User:Sandy|Sandy]] 15:08, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

::::I know, I have spammed you extensively today, and I'm sorry for that. I just want to be sure that this won't happen again. So, I created the page with the permission; Am I allowed to upload them now? And if so, in the template where it says "Permission for use on Tolkien Gateway" will it be automatically linked to the page I created or do I need to do something extra? Thanks again!--[[User:Sandy|Sandy]] 15:53, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

:You need to add the template like you used to, but instead of DeviantArt, write Kimberly. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:15, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Sorry for trying to help with info. I wont help anymore. I dont know what you mean by "primary source".

==Elves infobox==

: Yes, you are right about the Longbeards. After all, most of the Dwarven characters in the legendarium are Longbeards.

To return to the topic...As you have no doubt already seen that I created the template for the generic Elven infobox, I think some of the characters from the legendarium should be put under that template: for example: Imin, Tata, Enel and their spouses and many other Elven characters who's nationality isn't determined by any of the writings.

Celeborn would be a good candidate for such a template and few other major characters who have ambiguous histories...

[[User:Woolly Mammoth|Woolly Mammoth]] 17:11, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
::Yeah, a generic/unclear Elf template is a good idea. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 17:11, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

==Woolly Mammoth, the Nuisance everlasting==
:: To [[User:Ederchil]] and [[User:Mith]] - wouldn't it be much easier for you to unblock me than to constantly tidy up my "mess" - I have much to contribute to this wiki - and, as I said before, I SINCERELY apologize for any insult made to any of you, especially to [[User:Mith]]. From a more practical perspective, it would be good for you to unblock me - of course, if you do not want to clear up the mess that will be gathering in the following years - I am not a madman - I simply feel insulted by your behavior - I would like to edit this wiki - as I no doubt showed before - and it would be to your well-being (and to the well-being of this site) if I would continue editing this Wiki without any further hindrance. As for the images that I uploaded - I have proof that the permission was granted - although I have not been able to present the evidence to you - but if you unblock me I will - the visual representation of [[Tolkien]]'s works is to me, at least, an important aspect of his work. That is the reason I am hellbent on including the images, and I spend a lot of time on DevinatArt searching for Tolkien related art, and I am in good relation to other members of that community. This is all for me at the time - and I hope you will reconsider the ban.

Respectfully - Woolly Mammoth! [[User:Laurentus|Laurentus]] 20:48, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

:It's "Mess" because you're doing exactly the same we told you ''repeatedly'' not to do before. You're blocked. Every time you make a new account, you're evading a block - which is also a blockable offence. You're in the penalty box. You can't just jump back on the ice after putting on a teammate's jersey.
:Quite frankly, your "practical perspective"... that's an insult. Not just to me (or Mith), but to pretty much every moderator on all kinds of wikis and forums, everywhere on the internet. If you don't see that, I really can't help you. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 21:08, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

== Again ME ==
I was just wondering...You are cutting the branch on which you are sitting by consistently blocking my unnumbered profiles. Tell me now...Wouldn't it be easier for you and me to simply unblock me? I have added more "canonical" information to this site than everyone here around.

Take for example [[Maedhros]] (which, according to Tolkien's latest use, should be MaeDros) - I have added information which none of your timid fellows has been wont to do.

And by [[User:Mith|Mith]]'s Pythonesque farewell of "fucking off", I wonder if you, my dear "administrators", hold any supremacy over my "uncivil" behaviour. In the end, I altogether guessed rightly that most of you are, indeed, assholes (or at least you have buried your head in it).

Yours truly...dear Woolly Mammmoth ;).

:Your arrogance is truly mindboggling. You were blocked. This ban evasion is also a blockable offense. No matter the quality of your edits, you won't be unblocked.
:You're sent to the penalty box. You can't put on a teammate's jersey and get back on the ice. Just because you score a lot of goals doesn't mean that's suddenly okay. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 07:59, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

== Tim Burton article ==

Why was it deleted? Tim Burton actually DID work on the 1978 Lord of the Rings film. Sure, he wasn't that famous at the time, but he still did artwork for it. We've got articles for fan films, so I don't see why we couldn't have an article for someone that worked on an official adaptation, however minor the involvement was. It just seems like disrepect to ignore the humble beginnings of such a well-known filmmaker, especially since a lot of people weren't all too famous until they were involved in adapting Tolkien's work. [[User:EldritchNexus|EldritchNexus]] 15:59, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

:The only reason he had an article was not because he
worked on LotR, but because he did other, more famous stuff later. We wouldn't have articles on other artists on the movie either. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:10, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

::So what? We have separate articles for regional translators and for the Inklings, even the ones that probably never even LOOKED at one of Tolkien's books. We even have articles for artists that worked on the Peter Jackson movies and the other two animated films. What makes the 1978 film the exception? If the article seemed like it was just advertising Tim Burton's other stuff, then how about rewriting it so that it seemed more relevant to Tolkien instead of just deleting it? It's like throwing away a perfectly good pizza just because it had an extra topping you didn't want. [[User:EldritchNexus|EldritchNexus]] 16:15, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

:::I would argue it's throwing out a pizza because we're a pie shop. The problem is, there isn't much. What exactly did he work on? --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:34, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
::::Well, Tim Burton was uncredited for his work, but it was one of the first movies he ever worked on, so it's to be expected. He was mostly an "inbetween" artist, so I guess that means he did some miscellaneous artwork. Couldn't tell you which ones were all his, though. Also, in response to that "pie shop" analogy, I'd like to remind you that"pizza pies" are a thing.[[User:EldritchNexus|EldritchNexus]] 17:05, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

--> Okay, here's a compromise: Have the Tim Burton article on this site, but keep it simple, so that it doesn't delve too deeply into his post-LOTR career. Something like:

:"'''Tim Burton''' (born on August 25th, 1958) is an American filmmaker. He made his film debut in 1978, as an artist for [[Ralph Bakshi]]'s animated film adaptation of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)|The Lord of the Rings]]''. He mostly worked on miscellaneous artwork as an "in-between" artist and thus largely remained uncredited for specific pieces."

:What do you think? [[User:EldritchNexus|EldritchNexus]] 19:49, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

::Not sure on the use of "miscellaneous artwork". In-between artists also needs no quotation marks, it's a normal job description - they're the people who make the animation fluid by creating the art that's in between the rougher, preliminary animation. The finishing touches. It'd be nice to know what scenes he worked on, if that could be found at all. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 20:35, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

== Template:VT2 ==

What's happening with {{redlink|[[Template:VT2]]}}? Is it useful? --{{User:Mith/sig}} 12:54, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

:I'm not sure what my intentions with it were, but it looks like Template:VT covers the same things, so we can probably do without. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 12:57, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

::Done. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 13:17, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

== Vunasti Mamut ==

Hello! Ederchil! Despite all my mistakes and insults...I truly regret that...Listen up! T is my favorite badass vilaine! I have spent a shitload of time trying to escape from the inevitable killing machine

== Explanation ==

Do you think I am a liar(that I am lying to you) or I make some kind of a joke about Bolg? In '''One Wiki to Rule Them All''' wiki and in Wikipedia pages about Bolg and the Hobbit film trilogy it is never said that Bolg participated in the Battle of Azanulbizar.Moreover, in the One Wiki to Rule Them All wiki about Unamed Orc Brute it is said that Bolg and this Unamed Orc Brute are separate characters.Also you can check it and in Bolg page on IMDB. So that is why I am asking you to change the page on [[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey]] about Bolg.See: Cast

You believe me that I am not liar or I that this is not some kind of joke? {{Unsigned|2.86.255.196}}

:You're neither a liar nor a joker. You're simply incorrect. Those three sources you list are, like us, third party sources. We included sources that he was initially cast as Azog, before being recast as Bolg. I'd have to check, but BalrogTrainer mentions he appears in the credits as Bolg. Nowhere was he credited as Gundabad Orc or Unnamed Orc Brute. You're removed two primary sources, and offered none in return. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 11:33, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Am I disturbing you?BalrogTrainer is right. If you see at the end credits of the First Hobbit film you will find that Conan Stevens is credited as Bolg.This is wrong because in the next two movies Conan Stevens is not credited as Bolg. This mistake the filmmakers should see and fix it.Why didnt they fix it? Do you know any way to contact with the filmakers in order to mention this mistake and correct it? Or anyone else WHO knows about these matters? {{Unsigned|2.86.255.196}}

:We don't know why they changed it. But the fact remains: he was credited as Bolg (I checked it myself in the mean time). So we list him as Bolg. No reason to list him as anything else. I don't think it was ever fully explained why he was recast. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 20:22, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

No no no.I am asking you if you know how to contact with the filmakers of the Hobbit film trilogy in order to correct this mistake in the end credits of the First Hobbit film or if you know anyone else WHO is expert on that matters. {{Unsigned|2.86.255.196}}

:Try looking for contact details of MGM or New Line Cinema. However, it wasn't a mistake at the time the movie was released. That was still Bolg back then. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 21:42, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Peter Jackson appears uncredited in ''[[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies]]''.He makes a cameo appearence at the end of the third Hobbit film in the painting of Bungo Baggins in case you dont know it.This painting can be seen in the final scene at the Bag End when Bilbo (Martin Freeman) returns home.You can check it on IMDB page about Peter Jackson and in Wikipedia page about Peter Jackson.

The Last Goodbye

2015-12-03T20:06:19Z

2.86.255.196:

'''The Last Goodbye''' is the ending credit song from the film ''[[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies]]''. It was written and performed by [[Billy Boyd]].<ref>[http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2014/10/20/93144-our-final-trip-to-middle-earth-to-finish-with-the-last-goodbye-sung-by-billy-boyd/ ‘The Last Goodbye’ sung by Billy Boyd]</ref>
==Lyrics==
<poem>
I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the Sea
Under cloud, beneath the stars
Over snow one winter’s morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don’t regret
Nor will I forget
All [who took the road with me]Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the Sea
To these memories I will hold
With your blessing I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
I bid you all a very fond farewell.
</poem>

'''Eregion''' ([[Sindarin|S]], pron. {{IPA|[eˈreɡjon]}}) or [[Hollin]] was a sub-realm of the [[Noldor|Noldorin]] [[Elves]] in [[Eriador]] during the [[Second Age]], located near the [[Walls of Moria]] under the shadow of the [[Misty Mountains|Hithaeglir]] ([[Misty Mountains]]). Its capital was [[Ost-in-Edhil]].

The Elves of Eregion lived in harmony with a [[Dwarves|Dwarven]] civilization, trading freely with their kingdom of [[Moria|Khazad-dûm]], or ''Hadhodrond'' in the [[Sindarin|Elven tongue]]. A high road ran from Ost-in-Edhil to Khazad-dûm, and an unprecedented friendship between the two races began in that time. Eregion's jewel smiths achieved the highest levels of craftsmanship since [[Fëanor]]. <ref>{{S|V}}</ref>

Eregion was populated by Noldor, and for a while ruled by [[Galadriel]] and [[Celeborn]], until they left for [[Lothlórien]] on the other side of the [[Misty Mountains]]. It was then ruled by [[Celebrimbor]], a descendant of [[Fëanor]]. Under his rule the Elves of Eregion became friends with [[Annatar]], the "Lord of Gifts," and created the [[Rings of Power]]. When Annatar was revealed as the Dark Lord [[Sauron]], the Elves of Eregion tried to keep the Rings from falling into Sauron's hands, but only managed to rescue [[Vilya]], [[Narya]], and [[Nenya]] (the [[Three Rings]] of the Elves).

Sauron returned to Hollin with a vengeance in {{SA|1697|n}}, and despite the assistance of the Dwarves, he [[Sack of Eregion|utterly destroyed]] it. The survivors fled to [[Lindon]], Lothlórien, and the refuge of Imladris ([[Rivendell]]). The doors of Moria were shut and sealed, and Celebrimbor was slain.

In the [[Third Age]], Eregion was a pleasant but unpopulated land.

==Etymology==
The name ''Eregion'' is [[Sindarin]] for "Land of Holly"<ref>{{UT|Index}}</ref> (the word ''[[ereg]]'' means "holly").<ref>{{S|Appendix}}, ''ereg''</ref>

''Hollin'' (from ''hollin-land'') is an old form, still used locally, of "[[holly]]"; the region abounded in holly-trees.<ref>{{HM|N}}, p. 772</ref>

== List of Book that inspired Tolkien ==

It is difficult to put link sources when I just created the page and was begining to edit including informations, and you delete the page... Be more pacient. Otherwise it will be hard to help this wiki. {{unsigned|Sigurd }}

:Couple of things:
* Add new messages at the ''bottom'' of the talk page. They go in chronological order from old to new.
* The entire concept is vague. "Books that inspired Tolkien"? Inspired him on what? To write a book? To become a philologist? To write an alternate mythology for England? To write a specific element?
* As I said, sources. The only source you list is a summary of his personal library, without explaining how this book being in his library inspired him. Unless you have a specific sources that explicitly says Book X inspired him to do action Y, it's just speculation.
* No content other than a list. The introduction is essentially "Books that have inspired Tolkien are books that have inspired Tolkien".
* Basic layout and spelling. That's something that you should do before saving the page.
:As this is a vague and slippery slope (just as our existing train wreck [[Inspirations]] is), it adds nothing at the moment. Without addressing all these points (apart from the first, naturally), I see no point in having it. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 13:38, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

:Couple of things:
* Whatever. If you see the message works.
* To put links, sources and more informations need time to included.
* I was working in that page and adding all informations. But is Impossible to do this when someone came and deleted the page... minutes after I began to write.
* So I think you have to whait some time before going to deleted a page. That is not the first time that you dont have paciense.{{unsigned|Sigurd}}

: Yes, you are right about the Longbeards. After all, most of the Dwarven characters in the legendarium are Longbeards.

To return to the topic...As you have no doubt already seen that I created the template for the generic Elven infobox, I think some of the characters from the legendarium should be put under that template: for example: Imin, Tata, Enel and their spouses and many other Elven characters who's nationality isn't determined by any of the writings.

Celeborn would be a good candidate for such a template and few other major characters who have ambiguous histories...

== Tim Burton article ==

Why was it deleted? Tim Burton actually DID work on the 1978 Lord of the Rings film. Sure, he wasn't that famous at the time, but he still did artwork for it. We've got articles for fan films, so I don't see why we couldn't have an article for someone that worked on an official adaptation, however minor the involvement was. It just seems like disrepect to ignore the humble beginnings of such a well-known filmmaker, especially since a lot of people weren't all too famous until they were involved in adapting Tolkien's work. [[User:EldritchNexus|EldritchNexus]] 15:59, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

:The only reason he had an article was not because he
worked on LotR, but because he did other, more famous stuff later. We wouldn't have articles on other artists on the movie either. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:10, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

::So what? We have separate articles for regional translators and for the Inklings, even the ones that probably never even LOOKED at one of Tolkien's books. We even have articles for artists that worked on the Peter Jackson movies and the other two animated films. What makes the 1978 film the exception? If the article seemed like it was just advertising Tim Burton's other stuff, then how about rewriting it so that it seemed more relevant to Tolkien instead of just deleting it? It's like throwing away a perfectly good pizza just because it had an extra topping you didn't want. [[User:EldritchNexus|EldritchNexus]] 16:15, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

::::Well, Tim Burton was uncredited for his work, but it was one of the first movies he ever worked on, so it's to be expected.

--> Okay, here's a compromise: Have the Tim Burton article on this site, but keep it simple, so that it doesn't delve too deeply into his post-LOTR career. Something like:

:"'''Tim Burton''' (born on August 25th, 1958) is an American filmmaker. He made his film debut in 1978, as an artist for [[Ralph Bakshi]]'s animated film adaptation of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)|The Lord of the Rings]]''. He mostly worked on miscellaneous artwork as an "in-between" artist and thus largely remained uncredited for specific pieces."

:What do you think? [[User:EldritchNexus|EldritchNexus]] 19:49, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

::Not sure on the use of "miscellaneous artwork". In-between artists also needs no quotation marks, it's a normal job description - they're the people who make the animation fluid by creating the art that's in between the rougher, preliminary animation.

Hello! Ederchil! Despite all my mistakes and insults...I truly regret that...Listen up! T is my favorite badass vilaine! I have spent a shitload of time trying to escape from the inevitable killing machine

== Explanation ==

Do you think I am a liar(that I am lying to you) or I make some kind of a joke about Bolg? In '''One Wiki to Rule Them All''' wiki and in Wikipedia pages about Bolg and the Hobbit film trilogy it is never said that Bolg participated in the Battle of Azanulbizar.Moreover, in the One Wiki to Rule Them All wiki about Unamed Orc Brute it is said that Bolg and this Unamed Orc Brute are separate characters.Also you can check it and in Bolg page on IMDB. So that is why I am asking you to change the page on [[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey]] about Bolg.

You believe me that I am not liar or I that this is not some kind of joke?

== Images ==
We have rules about images, both in naming and tagging. See [[:File:The Hobbit (1977 film) - Dwalin.jpg|here]] for an example. Also, make sure the images are at least 300px wide. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 13:24, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

:OK, gotcha. I'm still trying to feel my way through this whole image posting thing. Obviously I need more practice. Feel free to delete any files I uploaded that won't work. Thanks.{{unsigned|BalrogTrainer}}

::Could I also add that all images should be categorised and have a licence template attached. When you upload an image there is a "Licensing" dropdown menu to select which copyright template to attach to the file (in this case Warner Bros.); all images '''must''' have a licensing template for copyright reasons. As for categories, we have standard naming conventions:

::*'''Characters/locations/events''' - these always take the form of <nowiki>[[Category:Images of XXX]]</nowiki> where "XXX" is the name of the character/location/event;
::*'''Adaptations''' - these always take the form of <nowiki>[[Category:Images from XXX]]</nowiki> where "XXX" is the name of the adaptation ''in the same format as the article''. For example, the 1978 film of The Lord of the Rings is "[[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)]]" so the category is "[[:Category:Images from The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)]]".

::Ideally, you should endeavour to include the adaptation it is from and as many characters/locations/events as depicted in the image. Take a look at [http://tolkiengateway.net/w/index.php?title=File%3AThe_Hobbit_%281977_film%29_-_Nori.png&action=historysubmit&diff=238197&oldid=238191 the change I just made] to [[:File:The Hobbit (1977 film) - Nori.png|the image of Nori you uploaded]] to see an example of how this works in practice. If you have any other questions, do let me know! --{{User:Mith/sig}} 00:23, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. However, I forgot to do the licencing step for the image of Fíli (and perhaps a couple others) that I just uploaded. : / If you could amend this, it would be much appreciated.

== Stubbing scenes ==
If you create a scene article, can you at least include more info on it than just "it's a scene"? Preferably, a page should look like [[Prologue: A Ring's Tale|this]], with info on length and stuff. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 13:21, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
:How were whomever started the articles for all the individual scenes from the LOTR films able to get away with it then? : / At any rate, I'll stop for now, since, frankly, I've done enough rehashing of AUJ's storyline for a while between completing the 'Plot' and 'Deviations from the source material' sections of its main article. : P

== Signing Comments ==

I've noticed that on talk pages you often don't sign your comments. To sign a comment just write "<nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>" at the end, or click the signature button in the toolbox (it looks like a pencil signing). If you're interested in setting up a custom signature (like [[User:Mith/sig|mine]], [[User:Ederchil/sig|Ederchil's]] or [[User:KingAragorn/sig|KingAragorn's]]) see [[Help:Signatures]]. I hope this helps! --{{User:Mith/sig}} 11:36, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
:Thanks. I've been wondering how to do that. Here goes!--[[User:BalrogTrainer|BalrogTrainer]] 14:28, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

== Creating categories ==

It's great that you're uploading lots of new images, but don't forget that if a category doesn't exist - [[:File:The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King - Great Beasts.jpg|like on this file]] - you will need to create the category yourself (when any link is red it means the target page doesn't doesn't exist). To create it, simply click on the link, add the text, and click save. I hope this helps! --{{User:Mith/sig}} 13:11, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

:I'd like to reiterate the above message with respect to [[:File:The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug - Lethuin.jpg|this image]]. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 17:08, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

::Sorry, I keep forgetting. : / --[[User:BalrogTrainer|BalrogTrainer]] 01:51, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

==Tauriel==
Hello! As you seem to have good knowledge about PJ's films: do you know if the recently added text about [[Tauriel]] being inspired by the "captain of the Elvenking's guard" was the filmmakers' intention or if it's pure speculation?--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 13:42, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

:I'm not entirely sure. It's quite possible Tauriel was based on the mention of that character, but I think it was more about just getting a female character into the story. Since it's still just speculation, it should probably be removed. --[[User:BalrogTrainer|BalrogTrainer]] 13:50, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

::Thanks. I wondered if the issue was discussed in any of the audio commentaries (or similar official sources), but since this doens't appear to be the case, I'll remove it.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 14:01, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

== Fair use ==

Fair use does not mean using an image fairly - copyrighted images are still copyrighted. I checked both those websites with the source of the Antony Sher picture and neither gave us permission to use them. Flickr is a very good source of Creative Commons-licenced images. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 10:04, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

:SIGH. The image you uploaded said "All Rights Reserved." i.e. we have no right to use it. I specifically said "Flickr is a very good source of Creative Commons-licenced images." --{{User:Mith/sig}} 15:34, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

==Ogres==

Is the name ''Ogre'' officially used for the troll-like monsters (the one appearing in the [[:File:The Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies - Ogre.jpg|file]] you uploaded) in BoFA? I can't recall if they are ever named in the film, but perhaps they are described in film-related books? --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 16:52, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
:It's what I've seen other sites label them citing movie books, so I'm assuming it's legitimate. --[[User:BalrogTrainer|BalrogTrainer]] 01:26, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

::Nonetheless, it needs a primary source. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 09:57, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

:::Page 221 of ''[[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies: Chronicles: Art & Design]]'' says they used the mentioning of an "ogre" in "[[Riddles in the Dark]]" ("''Poor Bilbo sat in the dark thinking of all the horrible names of all the giants and ogres he had ever heard told of in tales, but not one of them had done all these things.''") as an opportunity to create a new creature larger than an orc and smaller than a troll. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 09:39, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

==Bolg==
If you check the Internet you will see that Conan Stevens does not porteay Bolg but an orc called Unnamed Orc Brute . For more Information see the site http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Unnamed_Orc_Brute on the lord of the rings wiki and wikipedia.

'''''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey''''' is the first of [[Peter Jackson]]'s [[The Hobbit (film series)|''The Hobbit'' film trilogy]] based on [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s [[1937]] novel ''[[The Hobbit]]''. It was released on [[14 December]] [[2012]] in North America. It was followed by ''[[The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug|The Desolation of Smaug]]'' in [[2013]] and by ''[[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies|The Battle of the Five Armies]]'' in [[2014]].

==Synopsis==
{{Blockquote|The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. 
''Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever... Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities... A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.|[[Warner Bros.]] Press Release<ref name="WBPressRelease1">{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.warnerbros.com/movies/in-theaters-coming-soon/the-hobbit-an-unexpected-journey/c36f51cb-9332-4db9-b297-458453025455.html|articlename=THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY|website=[http://www.warnerbros.com/ Warner Bros.]|accessed=19-November-2012}}</ref>}}

==Plot==
On his eleventy-first (111th) birthday, the [[Hobbits|Hobbit]] [[Bilbo Baggins]] decides to write down the full story of the adventure he took 60 years before for his nephew [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]]. Bilbo writes about how, prior to his own actual involvement, the [[Dwarves|Dwarf]] [[Thrór]] was [[King under the Mountain|king]] of [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]] and brought an era of prosperity to his [[Dwarves of Erebor|kin]] until the arrival of [[Smaug]] the [[Dragons|Dragon]]. Drawn by the amount of [[gold]] that the Dwarves have amassed, Smaug destroyed the nearby town of [[Dale]] before driving the Dwarves out of Erebor. Thrór's grandson, [[Thorin]] [[Oakenshield]], sees King [[Thranduil]] and his [[Elves of Mirkwood|Wood-elves]] on a nearby hillside and is dismayed to find them taking their leave rather than aiding his people. This makes Thorin develop an everlasting hatred of [[Elves]].

Following this, Bilbo is tricked by the [[Wizards|Wizard]] [[Gandalf]] the Grey into hosting a party for Thorin and his [[Thorin and Company|band of Dwarves]], which doubles as Bilbo's recruitment as the Dwarves' "burglar" to help them recover their treasure and their home from Smaug. Bilbo reluctantly joins the company on their journey to the Lonely Mountain, Thorin previously believing he would refuse. The group is captured by 3 Mountain [[Trolls]], [[Tom]], [[Bert]], and [[William]], but Bilbo is able to stall the Trolls from eating them until dawn, when Gandalf saves the company by exposing the Trolls to sunlight, turning them into stone. They search the Trolls' [[Troll's Cave|cave]] and find treasure and Elven blades. Thorin and Gandalf each take an Elf-wrought blade -- [[Orcrist]] and [[Glamdring]], respectively. Gandalf also finds an Elven short-sword, later to be known as [[Sting]], which he gives to Bilbo. Being Elven blades of the [[First Age]], Gandalf says they glow when near [[Orcs]] or [[Orcs#Orcs and Goblins|Goblins]]. However, only Sting actually does so.

The group encounters [[Radagast]] the Brown, a Wizard who lives in the forest of [[Mirkwood|Greenwood]]. He tells them of a strange presence he encountered at [[Dol Guldur]] and how it is poisoning the forest. The group is then chased by Orcs on [[Wargs]], with Radagast drawing them off with his [[Rhosgobel]] Rabbits-pulled sled. Gandalf leads them through a stone passage to [[Rivendell]] as the Wargs and Orcs above are slain by Elven riders. [[Elrond]] discloses the [[Thrór's Map|map]]'s indication of a [[Back Door|secret]] door that will be visible only on [[Durin's Day]]. Gandalf talks with the [[White Council]] (Elrond, [[Galadriel]], and [[Saruman|Saruman the White]]) about his involvement with the Dwarves, explaining the presence Radagast encountered and expresses mild suspicion that this Necromancer is the [[Sauron|Dark Lord]]. The others are skeptical, believing Sauron to have been defeated forever, and that this Necromancer is not a true threat. Elsewhere, at [[Weathertop]], [[Yazneg]], the leader of the attacking Orc party, reports back to his master [[Azog]] of his failure, who then kills the unfortunate Orc. Azog then issues a bounty upon Thorin's head, and races off with the rest of his party.

Against the Council's wishes, Gandalf sends Bilbo and the Dwarves toward the [[Misty Mountains]]. While passing through the mountains, Bilbo and the Dwarves encounter a battle between three stone [[giants]], and are forced to take refuge in a cave. Elsewhere, Azog and his Orcs follow the Dwarves' trail to the Misty Mountains. While the company sleeps, Bilbo decides to leave and return to Rivendell after talking to [[Bofur]], who believes in him. He is overheard by Thorin, who believes he has been proven right that the hobbit is not up to the quest. But before Bilbo can leave, they are all captured by Goblins and taken to their leader, the [[Great Goblin|Goblin King]]. Gandalf arrives and saves the Dwarves from the Goblins. They then fight their way out of [[Goblin-town]], killing the Goblin King during their escape. Bilbo was separated from the Dwarves right after their capture and encounters [[Gollum]], who accidentally drops a mysterious [[The One Ring|ring]] while killing a stray Goblin to feed on. Picking up the ring and placing it in his pocket, Bilbo finds himself confronted by Gollum. They play a [[Riddle-game]], wagering that Bilbo will be shown the way out if he wins, or eaten by Gollum if he loses. After Bilbo wins by asking Gollum what he has in his pocket, Gollum realizes Bilbo has stolen the ring and attacks him. Bilbo discovers the ring grants him invisibility and evades a furious Gollum, following him to find the way out and deciding out of pity not to kill him, despite having the chance to do so.

Bilbo rejoins the group once he sees them after hearing Thorin voice his doubts he will return, keeping the ring he found secret. The moment of triumph is cut short as they are ambushed by Azog and his hunting party. After taking refuge in cliffside trees before the Wargs uproot most of them, the final tree is partially uprooted, leaving most of the Company hanging over the cliffside. Thorin then charges Azog in an attempt to save the others, but is badly wounded and knocked to the ground. Bilbo defends Thorin from being killed, and as Azog's other Orcs move in, [[Fíli]], [[Kíli]] and [[Dwalin]] rush in and attack them, and a fight ensues. The group is then saved by [[Eagles]], who fly them to safety on the [[Carrock]]. Gandalf wakes the unconscious Thorin, who finally accepts Bilbo for his courage and bravery. As the party sees the destiny of their journey, the Lonely Mountain in the distance, Smaug awakens.

==Deviations from the source material==
''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'' covers the first six chapters of ''[[The Hobbit]]'' with a few elements added from the [[The Lord of the Rings Appendices|Appendices]] from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. While it follows the story quite closely, a number of liberties were still taken:

*The film begins with a prologue in which [[Bilbo Baggins]] awakens in the early hours of the morning of his 111th birthday and begins to write [[There and Back Again|''There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Holiday'']] in what would become the [[Red Book of Westmarch]]. In ''The Hobbit'', he had already begun to write the book shortly after returning to [[Bag End]].
*Before beginning the first chapter of his book, Bilbo also details the background of his adventure, first recounting the rise and fall of [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]] and [[Dale]], and then the arrival of [[Smaug]] - much of the same information recounted by [[Thorin]] and the other [[Thorin and Company|Dwarves]] during the Unexpected Party. The [[Arkenstone]] is found under [[Thrór]]'s rule instead of that of [[Thráin I]], and is not carried away into the [[Grey Mountains]] by [[Thorin I]] and ultimately carried back by Thrór. Thrór interprets its discovery as his divine right to rule. Thorin and [[Balin]] are shown as adults, although in the books at the time of the [[Sack of Erebor|sack]] they were a mere 24 and 7 years old, respectively. Thorin is even shown as a captain giving orders, and, thus, not outside the Mountain during the attack of the [[Dragons|Dragon]], as written in the book.
*A long-standing feud between the [[Dwarves]] and the [[Elves]] was invented for the film, beginning with Thrór's refusal to give [[Thranduil]] a payment of gems (seen only in the [[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (extended edition)|Extended Edition]]), and fully manifesting when Thranduil then brings his Elf army to Erebor when Smaug is sacking it, only to then turn around and leave, offering no aid to the battling and fleeing [[Dwarves of Erebor|Dwarves]].
*Elijah Wood also appears briefly as [[Frodo Baggins]] toward the end of the prologue, whereas the character does not appear at all in the book. However, his appearance is purely a cameo as the set-up for the beginning of ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', where Bilbo is also seen writing his book the day of his [[Bilbo's Farewell Party|Farewell Party]], and Frodo leaves to await [[Gandalf]]'s arrival.
*The Dwarves do not quite arrive at Bag End in the same manner (first [[Dwalin]], then Balin, then both [[Fíli]] and [[Kíli]], and then [[Óin]], [[Glóin]], [[Dori]], [[Nori]], [[Ori]], [[Bifur]], [[Bofur]], and [[Bombur]] all at once with Gandalf; Thorin arrives significantly later), and they do not have multi-colored hoods as they did in the book. Only Dwalin and Bofur appear to have musical instruments. Furthermore, Gandalf has a grey hat instead of a blue one, and his beard is grey, not white, as described in the book.
*The Dwarves arrive in the evening, not afternoon, and only get a supper; no cake.
*Dwalin says "Thorin travelled North to a meeting of our kin," and asks later if [[Dáin Ironfoot]] would be with them. In the books, there is no hint that there had been a meeting or that Thorin had asked Dáin to join them on the Quest. Also, the information that "The Dragon Smaug has not been seen for 60 years" isn't mentioned in [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s history.
*The morning after the Unexpected Party, Bilbo awakes to see that Gandalf and the Dwarves have already gone, and he is alone. He ultimately decides of his own free will to "go on an adventure" rather than being initially reluctant, as in the book, where Gandalf essentially railroads Bilbo into going. In the film, Gandalf persuades Bilbo to live up to and take pride in the legacy of the [[Baggins Family|Bagginses]] as unconventional [[Hobbits]].
*Bilbo finds the Dwarves in the wood instead of first reading their letter saying they shall meet him at the [[Green Dragon]] in [[Bywater]].
*Gandalf and the Dwarves had bet on whether or not Bilbo would ultimately join them.
*Bilbo was shown to be allergic to [[horses]].
*The time of 171 years between the [[Sack of Erebor]] in {{TA|2770}} and the [[Quest of Erebor]] in {{TA|2941}} has been somewhat reduced and compressed for these films.
*The [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]] is condensed into just the [[Battle of Azanulbizar]] (recounted by Balin in a flashback, and also referred to as the '''Battle of [[Moria]]''' throughout the trilogy), where Thrór leads an army of Dwarves against an army of [[Orcs]] in an attempt to reclaim Moria as their home not long after the Sack of Erebor. Thrór is decapitated by [[Azog]] during the battle instead of prior to it (which was the actual reason for the war), and Thorin cuts off Azog's left forearm, while Dáin (who ultimately kills Azog during the battle in the books) does not appear at all in the sequence.
*Two Orcs watch the Company resting and many will pursue them later on their whole journey. The leader of the Orc pack is revealed to be Azog, who has survived the Battle of Azanulbizar in these films (his left forearm replaced by a spike with a claw at the end), and appears as an additional antagonist who wants to kill Thorin (having long sworn "to wipe out the line of [[Durin]]"). Therefore, almost all the pursuits of Orcs in the trilogy are invented for the films, and only one of them appears in the book.
*All of the Orcs speak [[Black Speech]] in these films. In the [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''Lord of the Rings'' film series]], and in all the books, the Orcs speak predominantly [[Westron]].
*Gandalf tells Bilbo about the five [[Wizards]], introducing [[Radagast|Radagast the Brown]], who is only ever briefly mentioned in the books. He is first seen discovering a darkness growing in [[Mirkwood|Greenwood the Great]]. Here, the timeframe of the movie is also very much shortened, for the first shadow fell on the Greenwood around {{TA|1000}}, 1900 years before the main events of this story. After having his home ambushed by [[spiders]], he wards them off with a spell while curing a [[Sebastian|hedgehog]] from witchcraft. He then follows the spiders' path to [[Dol Guldur]], where he encounters a [[Sauron#Sauron's Return|Necromancer]] and the [[Witch-king]] of [[Angmar]], with whom he briefly duels and from whom he takes its [[Morgul blades|Morgul blade]]. In contrast, Tolkien never wrote of these incidents.
*Bilbo goes to the [[Trolls]] because they steal the Dwarves' [[ponies]].
*Bilbo is caught by the Trolls attempting to steal [[Tom]]'s knife to set the stolen ponies free rather than being given away by [[William]]'s [[talking purse|"talking" purse]].
*While Bilbo does manage to set the ponies free during the Company's skirmish with the Trolls, it is the last they see of them. In the book, the Company had the ponies until reaching the cave in the [[Misty Mountains]].
*The Dwarves surrender when the Trolls catch Bilbo and threaten to rip him apart instead of being overpowered and popped into bags.
*Bilbo - not Gandalf - stalls the Trolls until dawn's arrival in the film. They are turned to stone when Gandalf exposes them to the sun upon his return by breaking a large boulder behind them in half with his staff.
*The Trolls' [[Troll's Cave|cave]] is wide open, and there is no locked door blocking it.
*In the book, Bilbo finds [[Sting]] and takes it. In the film, Gandalf comes upon it and gives it to Bilbo.
*The group is attacked by a pack of the Orc [[Wargs|Warg]] Riders on the way to [[Rivendell]] just after the Trolls sequence in the film, where Radagast aids the Dwarves in escaping the Orcs near Rivendell by diverting their attention on his [[Rabbits|rabbit]]-pulled sled, which did not happen in the book (along with nearly all of the Orc pursuits).
*In the film's Extended Edition, Bofur gets up and sings "[[The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late]]" while the Company is dining with the Elves in Rivendell, and the other Dwarves join him. This song does not appear in the [[legendarium]] until ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', where Frodo sings it at [[the Prancing Pony]].
*Also in the Extended Edition, Kíli is shown to somewhat fancy female Elves. Tolkien never alluded to any Dwarves in [[Middle-earth]] having any romantic interest in someone of another race.
*The second storyline is mainly taken from the Appendices of ''The Lord of the Rings'', and its timeframe is also very much shortened: [[Elrond]] refers during the session of the [[White Council]] to the [[Watchful Peace]] by saying "For four hundred years we have lived in peace." At the start of the peace, Dol Guldur's growing power was already feared to be [[Sauron]]'s doing. Also in the movie, Elrond calls the Watchful Peace "hard-won," which isn't really correct because the Appendices tell that in {{TA|2063}}, Gandalf only goes to Dol Guldur whereupon the shadow retreats, thus, there can be no talk of a hard-won peace. In Tolkien's writings, the White Council already knew that the Necromancer was Sauron, and was at Dol Guldur during the events in ''The Hobbit'', since Gandalf had already confirmed this 89 years earlier, and [[Saruman]] had discovered two years prior that Sauron had learned of [[Isildur]]'s [[Disaster of the Gladden Fields|loss]] of [[the One Ring]] at the [[Gladden Fields]] by the river [[Anduin]] and the Dark Lord's [[Nazgûl|servants]] were searching the area (though he did not inform the Council of this discovery).
*The White Council is described as having more members than depicted in the film.
*Also at the White Council meeting, Galadriel relates how the Witch-king of Angmar, after his defeat near [[Fornost Erain]], had been killed and sealed in a tomb in the [[High Fells of Rhudaur]] that could not be opened. This is a significant departure from Tolkien's writings, in which the Witch-king had not died, but fled. In {{TA|1974}}, [[Glorfindel]] had stopped pursuit of the Witch-king and prophesied, "Do not pursue him! He will not return to these lands. Far off yet is his doom, and not by the hand of man will he fall" (which presages the dramatic moment in ''[[The Return of the King]]'' when [[Éowyn]] is able to kill him because she is not a man).<ref name="AppA">[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], ''The Lord of the Rings,'' Appendix A (I, iv).</ref> Furthermore, per Tolkien, the White Council knew the Witch-king had not been killed because he and the rest of the [[Nazgûl]] had previously been fighting with [[Gondor]], and had captured (and presumably killed) the last [[Kings of Gondor|King of Gondor]] at [[Minas Morgul]] in {{TA|2050}}, long after he had fled the North.<ref name="AppB">J.R.R. Tolkien, ''The Lord of the Rings,'' Appendix B</ref> The High Fells of Rhudaur and the story of the Morgul blade are invented for the film.
*Gandalf stays with the White Council and the Dwarves leave Rivendell in secret (though Gandalf already knows of their departure), partly because the Council (especially Saruman) doesn't endorse the Quest, whereas in the books the Council never is concerned with it. In the book, Gandalf accompanies the Dwarves until the cave and follows them afterwards secretly to [[Goblin-town]].
*When travelling along the mountain pass in the book, Bilbo and the Dwarves observe the stone [[Giants]] hurling rocks at a distance, "across the valley," whereas, in the film, they become unwittingly involved when the mountainside on which they are standing comes to life and joins in the "thunder battle."
*In the movie, after Thorin has shown his dislike for Bilbo several times, while inside the [[Front Porch|Goblin cave]], Bilbo finally wants to go home, but Bofur tries to persuade him to stay.
*It was Bilbo who alerted the party when the trap doors in the Goblin cave open in the book. In the film, Bofur recognizes Sting gleaming blue, and the other Dwarves realize the danger just as the ground gives way and they begin to fall into the hole.
*In the book, the [[Orcs#Orcs and Goblins|Goblins]] only had tunnels, not rope bridges.
*Bilbo's encounter with [[Gollum]] in the book occurs after he is lost during the Company's escape from Goblin-town, whereas here it happens concurrently with the Dwarves' audience with the [[Great Goblin|Goblin King]] (due to Bilbo's eluding captivity from the Goblins and falling down a chasm during the struggle with one of them).
*In the books, Fíli and Kíli are said to be the youngest, but in the movie, the Goblin King points out Ori as the youngest.
*In the book, Bilbo finds the One Ring by chance when his hand happens to fall upon it as he is crawling through one of the dark Goblin-town tunnels, well before he comes across Gollum. In the film, he sees Gollum fighting with the same Goblin with whom he fell down the chasm, and then we see the Ring fall out of Gollum's loincloth during the tussle. After Gollum drags off the Goblin's body, Bilbo then goes over, picks it up, examines it, and puts it in his pocket. The scene is quite different from the one in the prologue of ''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'', even without the different actors.
*Gollum has nine teeth in the film, rather than six.
*Some of the riddles are omitted in the movie.
*It isn't made clear that the Company spends several days under the Mountains. In general in the trilogy, it isn't mentioned how long all the journey lasts. For example, Bilbo finds the Company immediately after leaving the caverns; in the book, he looks for them much longer.
*The Dwarves get trapped by Wargs and Orcs not on a clearing, but on a cliff with all trees falling until all the Company sits on one tree hanging over the cliff, almost falling to their deaths.
*Bilbo and some of the Dwarves do not come down from the [[Firs|fir]] tree and charge the Goblins (or Orcs, in this case) and Wargs in the book once they've been trapped in them. Of course, Azog isn't there, either, pursuing especially for Thorin. Thus, Bilbo doen't save Thorin's life by fighting the Orc ordered by Azog to decapitate him.
*As in the ''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'', Gandalf sends for the [[Eagles]] by catching a moth and giving it a message. In the book, the Eagles see the fire in the distance and fly over to investigate, and, thus, their rescue of the Company was mostly circumstantial.
*As in ''The Lord of the Rings'' [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|films]], the Eagles do not speak.
*The Eagles take the Company directly to the [[Carrock]], bypassing the [[Eagle's Eyrie|Eyrie]].
*The film features a final reconciliation between Thorin and Bilbo after Thorin's heavy resentment against Bilbo through most of it. In ''[[The Quest of Erebor]]'', Gandalf says that Thorin's disfavour against Bilbo was stronger than he showed openly.

'''Bolg of the North''' was an Orc warlord.
==History==
Bolg was the son of [[Azog]],<ref name=H17>{{H|17}}</ref> who succeeded his father as leader of the northern [[Orcs]] after Azog was killed by [[Dáin Ironfoot]] at the [[Battle of Azanulbizar]] in [[Third Age]] {{TA|2799|n}}.<ref>{{App|Durin}}</ref> This started Bolg's hatred towards the [[Dwarves]] and after the [[Great Goblin]] was killed during an encounter with [[Thorin and Company]] in {{TA|2941}}, his hatred for them grew even more.{{fact}}

'''Bolg of the North''' was an Orc warlord.
==History==
Bolg was the son of [[Azog]],<ref name=H17>{{H|17}}</ref> who succeeded his father as leader of the northern [[Orcs]] after Azog was killed by [[Dáin Ironfoot]] at the [[Battle of Azanulbizar]] in [[Third Age]] {{TA|2799|n}}.<ref>{{App|Durin}}</ref> This started Bolg's hatred towards the [[Dwarves]] and after the [[Great Goblin]] was killed during an encounter with [[Thorin and Company]] in {{TA|2941}}, his hatred for them grew even more.{{fact}}

Bolg gathered an army of Orcs from the [[Misty Mountains]] to their capital at [[Gundabad|Mount Gundabad]]. They marched eastward through the [[Grey Mountains]] with a host of [[Wargs]] and a cloud of [[bats]] overhead.<ref name=H17/>

Once they reached the [[Lonely Mountain]], Bolg led the Orcs and Wargs into battle with the Dwarves, [[Elves of Mirkwood|Wood-elves]], and [[Lake-men]]. Surrounding him was a group of huge Orcs with steel scimitars.<ref name=H17/> When [[Thorin]] attempted to pierce their ranks he became surrounded, and would later die from the wounds he sustained. The [[Eagles]] arrived and after them came [[Beorn]] in the shape of a bear. Beorn killed Bolg and the Orcs and Wargs were soon defeated.<ref>{{H|18}}</ref>

==Etymology==
There have been several attempts to give a meaning of the name ''Bolg''. One is a regular [[Orkish]] treatment of ''[[Boldog]]'', another a connection to [[Westron]] ''[[Bolger Family#Etymology|bolg]]''.

In ''[[The History of The Hobbit]]'', a word from a little known and little expanded language, ''[[Mágol]]'', is given, ''bolg'', which means "strong". [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] at one time considered making Mágol an Orkish language. An [[wikipedia:Primitive Irish|Ivernian]] word "bolg", of unknown meaning, is also cited by [[John D. Rateliff|Rateliff]].<ref>{{HM|RB}}, p. 710</ref>

'''Rivendell''', or '''[[Rivendell#Etymology|Imladris]]''', was an [[Elves|Elven]] dwelling in the [[Misty Mountains]] on the eastern edge of [[Eriador]]. Because of its location, it was called "'''The Last Homely House East of the Sea'''" from the point of view of a traveler going to the [[Misty Mountains]] and [[Wilderland]]; and also the '''First Homely House''' from the point of view of someone coming from these lands to the civilized lands of Eriador to the west.

It was established by [[Elrond]] in {{SA|1697}} as a refuge from [[Sauron]] after the fall of [[Eregion]].<ref name=sa>{{App|SA}}</ref> It remained Elrond's seat throughout the remainder of the Second Age and until the end of the Third Age, when he took the [[White Ship]] for [[Valinor]]. Rivendell had a strong alliance with the [[Kings of Arnor]] and after the fall of [[Arthedain]] it became a refuge for the [[Rangers of the North]] and the [[heir of Isildur|heirs of Isildur]]. Besides [[Elrond]] himself, notable Elves who lived there included [[Arwen]] and [[Glorfindel]].

==Location==
[[File:Soni Alcorn-Hender - Valley of Rivendell.jpg|thumb|left|[[Soni Alcorn-Hender]] - ''Valley of Rivendell'']]
Rivendell was located at the edge of a narrow gorge of the [[Bruinen|Bruinen River]],<ref>{{UT|Map}}</ref> but well hidden in the moorlands and foothills of the [[Misty Mountains]].<ref name=Rest>{{H|Rest}}</ref>

==History==
===Founding===
During the [[War of the Elves and Sauron]], and as [[Sauron]] was moving against Eriador, Elrond led an army of [[Elves of Lindon]] to the region. They arrived late but were joined by a detachment out of [[Eregion]] led by [[Celeborn]]. Despite this, Sauron's armies overwhelmed the Elves, and Elrond was unable to reach Eregion. Forced northward toward the headwaters of [[Bruinen]], Elrond established a stronghold.<ref>{{App|SA}}</ref>

This was to became a refuge for those seeking shelter from Sauron's onslaught in Eriador, and Elrond's and Celeborn's Elves were soon joined by many fleeing the [[Sack of Eregion]]. More came as Sauron ravaged Eriador on his march toward [[Lindon]]. By {{SA|1700}}, Sauron had overrun all of Eriador and Imladris was [[First Siege of Imladris|besieged]]. The siege ended when Gil-galad's forces, strengthened by the armament sent by [[Tar-Minastir]], routed Sauron's armies and drove him out of Eriador.

A Council held at that time made Elrond Gil-galad's vice-regent in Eriador, and Imladris his seat. Gil-galad bestowed [[Vilya]] upon Elrond in secret. Aided by the power of the [[Three Rings|Elven ring]], Elrond made Imladris one of the chief seats of Elvish strength in the west in the latter part of the Second Age. Imladris remained an Elvish stronghold in Eriador to the end of the Second Age and into the Third. <ref>{{UT|6}}</ref>

===Last Alliance===
At the end of the Second Age, [[Elendil]] and Gil-galad formed the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]] to challenge Sauron, and their host halted for a while at Imladris before crossing the Misty Mountains.<ref name="SV"/> [[Isildur]]'s wife and his youngest son, [[Valandil (King of Arnor)|Valandil]], were in Imladris at that time, and Isildur was journeying back to them after Sauron's defeat when he was ambushed at the [[Gladden Fields]].<ref>{{UT|7}}</ref> After receiving the shards of [[Narsil]], Valandil took up his role as King of [[Arnor]] and left Imladris for [[Annúminas]].<ref name="SV">{{S|V}}</ref>

===Third Age===
After the fall of Gil-galad, Elrond remained in Imladris. During the Third Age it was a refuge and sanctuary; many Elves gathered there, and it was the chief dwelling of the [[High Elves]] in Eriador. The heirs of Isildur were also harbored there due to their kinship with Elrond, as descendants of his brother [[Elros]].<ref name="SV"/> Rivendell maintained this relationship with the North Kingdom throughout the Third Age, and Elrond and his people remained steadfast allies to the heirs of Isildur. Situated on the western slopes of the Misty Mountains, Imladris was near [[Arnor]]'s eastern province of [[Rhudaur]], which became independent during the disintegration of the North Kingdom in {{TA|861}}.

Danger came to Eriador around {{TA|1300}} when the witch-kingdom of [[Angmar]] was established in the north-east beyond the [[Ettenmoors]]. It was late in the reign of [[Arveleg I]] that [[Second Siege of Imladris |Rivendell was besieged by Angmar]]. After an incursion by Angmar into Eriador in {{TA|1409}}, the Elves of Rivendell joined those of Lindon in subduing the power of the [[Witch-king]] for many years.<ref name="North">{{App|North}}</ref>

After the end of the North-kingdom in {{TA|1975}} [[Aranarth]], the first [[Chieftains of the Dúnedain|Chieftain of the Dúnedain]], had [[Arahael|his son]] fostered in Rivendell, as were all subsequent sons of the chieftains. The heirlooms and treasures of the house of Isildur, including the shards of [[Narsil]], were also kept there after [[Arvedui]]'s death.<ref name="North"/> Among these were also some of the few remaining documents containing the history of Númenor.<ref>{{UT|3}}</ref>

There was traffic across the Misty Mountains in the Third Age between Imladris and [[Lothlórien|Lórien]], for Elrond's wife was [[Celebrían]], daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn.

In the [[Quest of Erebor]], [[Bilbo Baggins]] stopped off at Rivendell with the Dwarves on the way to the [[Lonely Mountain]]<ref name=Rest/> and also on the way back to [[the Shire]] with [[Gandalf]].<ref>{{H|Stage}}</ref> Bilbo retired there after his 111th birthday, writing his memoir ''[[There and Back Again]]''.<ref name=Meetings>{{FR|II1}}</ref>

===War of the Ring===
Years later, [[Frodo Baggins]] and his [[Travellers|companions]] journeyed to Rivendell, where they met Bilbo. Several other Elves, [[Dwarves]] and [[Men]] had also arrived at Rivendell on separate errands;<ref name=Meetings/> at the [[Council of Elrond]] they learned that all of their errands were related to the fate of [[the One Ring]], and they had to decide what to do about it. In the end, the Hobbits influenced the decision.<ref>{{FR|II2}}</ref>

==Etymology==
''Rivendell'' ("[[Wiktionary:cloven|cloven]]-[[Wiktionary:dell|dell]]") is the [[Westron|Common Speech]] translation of the Sindarin name '''''Imladris''''' ("deep dale of the cleft").<ref>{{HM|N}}, p. 774</ref> An alternative (or complementary) etymology, gives ''Rivendell'' as the Englished version of the [[Westron]] name '''''Karningul''''' (itself a translation of ''Imladris'').<ref>{{App|F2}}</ref>

The name ''Imladris'' is also glossed as "Canyon of the Cleft"<ref>{{VT|47a}}, p. 14 (note 18)</ref> and "flat-floared valley of the Cleft".<ref name="letter">[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], "[[Letter to Anthony D. Howlett]]" ([[Letters not published in "The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien"|letter]])</ref>

==Inspiration==
A possible inspiration (so suggested by [[David Salo]]<ref>Aaron Fuegi, "[http://scv.bu.edu/~aarondf/Rivimages/realriv.html Rivendell in Switzerland]" at [http://scv.bu.edu/~aarondf/home.html the Last Homely House] (accessed 15 November 2011)</ref>) could have been [[wikipedia:Lauterbrunnen|Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland]], which Tolkien visited in [[1911]]:

{{quote|I am... delighted that you have made the acquaintance of Switzerland, and of the very part that I once knew best and which had the deepest effect on me. The hobbit’s journey from Rivendell to the other side of the Misty Mountains, including the glissade down the slithering stones into the pine woods, is based on my adventures in 1911 (he was 19 and traveled to Lauterbrunnen)... Our wanderings mainly on foot in a party of 12 are not now clear in sequence, but leave many vivid pictures as clear as yesterday." (He talks of similar conditions of the travel of Bilbo camping out, walking mountain paths, carrying packs).|Tolkien<ref>{{l|306}}</ref>}}
