Best Dwarf - Page 2

I like Fili and Kili best, but I also like Dori.

I also like Fili & Kili!

Dori, and poor old fat Bombur.

Poor Thorin -- he really wasn't that bad to Bilbo, except when overcome with gold lust (it could happen to some hobbits I have known . . . oops, wrong book). Apart from Bilbo, he's my favorite character in the book because of that dramatic change in the end: one minute he's making a fool out of himself atop the wall with Bilbo, and the very next time we see him he's a noble dwarf leading a charge and drawing everyone to him, including Men and Elves. That's very interesting (not to mention a difficult literary achievement to pull off well).

He's a little too kingly to be my favorite dwarf, though. That would be Balin -- he is the most thoughtful towards Bilbo and visits him later on, but I especially like all the fuss he makes about his air holes as Bilbo is packing him into the barrel in the Elven King's cellar...not to mention that he's such a good lookout that he always gets the job, in spite of his wearing red.

The necromancer Gandalf the purple was my favorite dwarf.

Radagast Aiwendil · 09-02-2002, 02:20 PM

i liked thorin for some reason i am not sure why. bilbo is my favourite character in the book though. not that that has much to do with this thread...
i find myself saying the same thing i said about smaug (basically).
i liked that thorin was so arrogant. though being arrogant doesnt make him cool, i like him because he is arrogant. and because i just like him. if that makes any sense whatsoever.

Gilrond · 09-15-2002, 04:45 PM

Of Gandalf's thirteen, I like Balin, thoughtful and nice to Frodo, and Thorin, because behind his arrogance and pride he really did have a nice heart.

If it was outside the thirteen, well...

Millane · 09-16-2002, 04:25 AM

my favourite dwarf would be be Thorin. He is so valiant and for his part in the battle of five armies alone he would be my favourite. I also liked balin for looking out for bilbo.
I dont think enough is said about the other Dwarves to distinguish which one is the better.

Duddun · 10-01-2002, 12:21 AM

I like Balin, Dori, and poor old fat Bombur. Not in the 13 I really liked Dain.

durin's bane · 10-01-2002, 09:47 PM

balin was my favourite because he was nice to bilbo

tharkun27 · 10-02-2002, 12:21 AM

Although Thorin Isn't really a likeable character, His death scene with Bilbo, when they reconcile, really chokes me up. There are alot of touching moments throughout JRRT, and this is definately one of them.

durin's bane · 10-02-2002, 06:16 PM

yeah, thorin was kind of a greedy "i rock, you don't. bow to me and make me a sandwich" kinda character, but his death scene with bilbo was just...beautiful

Elenka · 10-04-2002, 06:46 PM

I loved Fili and Kili, and Thorin wasn't too bad either, other than being a little full of himself. Of course my favorite character was Bilbo

Linarryl · 10-19-2002, 01:30 PM

I like Balin because he was nice to Bilbo and I like Dori. His complaining brightened the story!

Meriadoc · 11-27-2002, 04:46 PM

I like Fili and Kili the best because I like twins and their nice to Bilbo.

Duddun · 11-30-2002, 02:25 PM

I couldn't stand Thorin, I liked the rest though. And I guess Thorin was ok at the end.
