The height of the hobbits was always a problem when making the movies. PJ had a heck of a time trying to keep them short enough. They used scale doubles, perspective tricks, bluescreen technology, etc. So there are inconsistencies in their heights throughout the movies. There's the part at the end of ROTK, for example, whre Merry and Pippin enter the room. Their heights are aproximately up to the horizontal part of the carving on the door. When Legolas enters, his height is up to the carving as well. When the camera zooms out, and you can see the whold door, you can clearly see that there is only one horizontal line in the carving, so apparently the hobbits and elf were the same height.
Ues, the inconsistencies are there, but you really can't get too worked up about it. They're nearly unavoidable in such a work. I can guarantee that there will be problems with the dwarves' heights as well.
And another thing... nice Condescending Wonka avvie!
