Beorn
Beorn is an awesome character in The Hobbit - Little bunny getting fat on milk and butter - here he poked Bilbos waistcoat most disrespectfully ... and I love his Ferocity as a bear at the Battle of Five Armies

I like Beorn too. He's so cool. (I know some one named that exept spelled Bjorn.) I like it whe Gandalf is telling him their story and the dwarves keep coming in.

I like Bioren too. In the start he seems as a big thug that don't care from others. In the end of the story he save the elves, the dwarves and the men from death in the battle of Five Armies.

Yes, Beorn's great. He's so gruff and kind - and he's a vegetarian too!

Beorn was suspissious at first, but he was very friendly once he got to know the others. He even let Bilbo stay at his house for a few weeks on the way home. He was by far the best fighter of all of them. Thorin and the other dwarves were fully armed with the best weapons from the mountain, but they still couldn't take out Bolg's bodyguards. Beorn just ripped through all of them on his own. He is like a one man army.

When they start making more movies out of this delightful book, I bet Beorn will end up as the Tom Bombadil of The Hobbit. He'll be nudged out of every movie on the basis of time cuts. It's too bad, he really is a cool, intriguing character.

That would be sad. I think that the fact that he is a fighter gives him a better chance for being in a movie because fight seens get a lot more time. They would problably find a differant way to introduce him for the sake of time. At least I am hoping they would.

Beorn is great. One of my favorite characters out of all of Tolkien's literature. I love when he shows Gandalf, Bilbo, and the Dwarves the orc head and wolf skin pinned to a tree.

I'm reading the Silmarillion and that was my first thought when I saw the name Beor -- "I wonder if that is the origin of the Beornings?". Confirmation, anyone?

I always liked the way the Beornings bobbed up in LotR, and I said, "Oh, I remember him!"

Well, Bjorn means bear in one of the Scandanavian languages, right?

I guess so, or at least that what I'm told.

So I guess he (Tolkien) took the character from there. They have almost the same name and the same abilities.

How 'bout Michael Clark Duncan as Beorn?
Big , gruff , intimidating yet has the ability to be gentle and jolly. When they finally make a Hobbit movie. |
