Well, I don't thin so, but you never know. But we never hear about Bilbo. "Could very well be" as skip spence just said.

If Gandalf looked half his age .... would he not be a pile of dust?

Ah, yes, I didn't think of that Aganzir.
And from FoTR: Quote:
Anyway, I think we're (mostly me) getting off topic here.

Don't forget "Queer lodgings"
![]() And of course Buckland "where folks are so queer" Presumably to "live on the wrong side of the Brandywine" is a Hobbit euphemism for an alternative lifestyle.

This is way, way off topic. The personal lives of actors and how they affect your view of their portrayal of characters should be discussed outside the barrow, especially when it devolves into chatty wordplay.

mark! It's good to see you again too. It's been too long.
McAvoy is not only young, he looks young. This guy's almost 30, and he easily play a high-schooler. But he has an amazing chameleon aspect to him:\ "Last King of Scotland" "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" "Starter For 10" "Atonement" "Becoming Jane" etc. He highly versatile. He can play a drink-addled, corrupt, cowardly doctor, a faun, a lovable nerd, a tragic hero, and a charming cad with a heart of gold, all very, very easily. I could see him as a convincing hobbit. He may make me re-think hobbits altogether though. Everyone knows I've always preferred elves, and now this... ![]()

I will NOT mention the term used for a bundle of wood in the book, I will NOT mention the term used for a bundle of wood in the book, I will NOT mention the term used for a bundle of wood in the book...
My main objection is that James McAvoy is simply too young. Black would be outside of his element (has anyone forgotten the desecration he dealt Fellowship of the Ring on that blasted MTV spoof?) and no Hogwarts boy wizard could possibly do the role justice. I would like McAvoy for the role in, say, 30 years or so. I think he could, as Lush says (hi Lush! Long time no see!) play a hobbit. But not Bilbo.
