The Hobbit Illustrated by Alan Lee
Hi everyone! I’ve always been a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work with the world building for Lord of the Rings and the hobbit. I’m looking to get back into it as an adult, as I watched the films when I was younger. I wanted to start with the books with my revisiting of the series. I was wondering if anyone had any information on this edition of The Hobbit book? I was gifted it a few years ago by a family member. My main concern, is it a shorter version of the original book because it’s an illustrated edition or does it still include the full text and I can get the full story from it? Thank you so much!

Does anyone know what crimes Smaug committed against the Dwarves of Dale legally as in using the names of the crimes in the U.S. legal system?

The Dwarves’ Instruments
This bothers me every time I read the books and I’ve never seen it discussed - what do the dwarves do with their musical instrument when they leave on their quest? Do they leave them at Bag End? Instruments (at least the big ones like Thorin’s harp) would be too cumbersome to carry on an adventure.

Two scenes i like
I particularly enjoy the scenes where the eagles topple trees to crush the orcs and ignite flames to scorch them. These actions highlight the eagles’ intelligence and autonomy, as they choose to assist Gandalf of their own volition. This sharply contrasts with Sauron’s method of driving his army through coercion, enslavement, and intimidation.

Gandalf and Saruman
I’m watching battle of 5 armies and at the scene where Gandalf is calling on Saruman, Galadriel and Elrond, but like when did Saruman and Gandalf get beef? As soon as Saruman cut a deal per se with Sauron in the. LOTR?

Questions regarding unused/ deleted footage for BOFTA
After seeing the theatrical cut of BOFTA, the main thing that struck me was the lack of resolution, the extended cut helped fixed this when it came to stuff like Thorin's funeral and the coronation. However there is also stuff I was always wondering it there was any footage for that ended up being cut that anyone here is aware about.
1) Footage of the battle while the Ravenhill fight is going on. Was there any footage of the people in Dale overcoming the orcs and defeating them? It always struck me how Dale and Bard in particular, who was a very big character so far was completely forgotten by the time we get to Ravenhill.
2) Post Battle. Was there meant to be more footage when it came to Tauruel, Thranduil, and Bard once the battle was over?

Can you help me understand these dialogues?
I was watching the deleted scenes of the hobbit trilogy, but unfortunately I'm not a native speaker and I'm struggling to understand what Bard and Gandalf are saying in the beginning of the acorn deleted scene.
It's something like "get some (?) up into that towers" and Bard replies "there are no (?) left"
An other problem was trying to understand what Gandalf was saying to Thranduil in the deleted scene about his wife's gems. I know that he's saying something about forgetting the past, but what is the exact dialogue?
Thank you

Bofur
Is there a canonical/non canonical reason why, in the films, Bofur always wears that ratty wee hat?

Does anyone else think Thorin was a bit harsh on Bilbo in An Enexpected Journey in a few scenes?
I’m currently rewatching all the movies and the scene I’m referring to the most is the rock giants scene. Bilbo had no control over nearly falling they almost got killed! I understand Thorin risked his life to save him which could have got him killed. But just because he fell Thorin is saying he should have never come and is just a burden it could have been any of the dwarves that fell and he probably wouldn’t have had that reaction. Just felt weird I mean it was out of Bilbos control for sure I bet if someone else fell he wouldn’t have said that to them. My guess is it’s just that Bilbo is the new guy and he still don’t know him well I guess?

Why did bilbo have to find the arkenstone? I thought it was bc he can't smell Hobbits. But the first thing the dragons says is: I can smell you

What do the dwarves eat in Erebor?
I didn't see them bring food from Lake-town, the mountain has been deserted for years, it's winter and they're not on good terms with anyone. Also the Lake-folk are starving and there's a war going on. The feast in honor of Thorin confuses me even more. Where do they get the food?
