Fantasy Character Identification Flowcharts

The Hobbit Dwarves Cheat Sheet Reminds You Who is Who

— December 14, 2012 — Pop Culture
All fans of the Hobbit movie and book know that a Hobbit Dwarves Cheat Sheet is incredibly necessary if you want to have any hope of remembering who is who.

All the dwarves seem to have really similar names and big bushy beards, making it extremely difficult to tell who is speaking, who did what and how they got their beards to be so fantastic. This flowchart breaks it down in the simplest possible way, so you will always remember who is who and which beard belongs to which character.

Without the Hobbit Dwarves Cheat Sheet, you might forget that the one with an axe sticking out of his head is Bifur and the one with the "donut shaped beard extremity" is Bombur.
