Best Answer

The answer is going to vary depending upon what story and what set of legends or Fairy Tales you wish to base the answer on. In the majority of stories, elves are depicted as being very small. Small Elves * The house elves in Harry Potter series are much shorter than people. * The elves in The Shoemaker and the Elves are on the small side. * The movie Elf had small elves * The Santa Clause movies had small, as well as young, elves. Tall Elves * J. R. R. Tolkien's Elves (The Lord of the Rings, etc) are physically the same as Men (although the different human peoples vary in size, so some are shorter). * The books in the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini, also had tall thin elves

As is the only dwarf from The Hobbit to personally show up in The Lord of the Rings, Gloin is estimated on one fan site as being 4.5 to 5.5 feet tall. Gloin's father, from Dwarf of the House of Durin, was Gróin but his mother is unknown. JJR Tolkien wrote both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

What does Bilbo name his memories in The Hobbit?

If Tolkien's words on the subject are to be taken at face value, then The Hobbit, Or There and Back Again are Bilbo's memoirs -- his account of his great Adventure. In the final chapter of The Return of the King, it says this: "There was a big book with plain red leather covers; its tall pages were now almost filled. At the beginning there were many leaves covered with Bilbo's thin wandering hand; but most of it was written in Frodo's firm flowing script...The title page had many titles on it, crossed out one after another so: My Diary. My Unexpected Journey. There and Back Again. And What Happened After. Adventures of Five Hobbits. The Tale of the Great Ring, compiled by Bilbo Baggins from his own observations and the accounts of his friends. What We Did in the War of the Ring. "Here Bilbo's hand ended and Frodo had written: THE DOWNFALL OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS AND THE RETURN OF THE KING (as seen by the Little People; being the memoirs of Bilbo and Frodo of the Shire, supplemented by the accounts of their friends and the learnings of the Wise.) Together with extracts from Books of Lore translated by Bilbo in Rivendell." In The Return of the King film, Sam is heard referring to Bilbo's memoirs as There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale by Bilbo Baggins. In short, The Hobbit is the "memoirs" of Bilbo, and The Lord of the Rings the memoirs of Frodo.
