Well, my Concise Oxford English Dictionary lists Hobbit, but not the other two. Which seems to me to be fair enough. "Hobbit" and "Halfling" are terms now used more widely than solely in reference to JRRT's works, as their use in games such as Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer show.

Incidentally, I believe that "Jedi" is now an officially recognised religion in the UK. In the recent population census, sufficient people put "jedi" as their religion to give it official status! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
