So his distinguishing feature will be his bare dome. He also has a tattoo etched into his cranium (you can't see it in this photo, but he does). The quick recap is as follows: come up with an association between the name and a distinguishing feature of the person, or in this case, dwarf.ĭwalin is the only dwarf who's partially bald. If you don't understand what I'm doing below, read up on my older blog post on how to memorize names. While the action is going on on screen, you wanna be able to recognize and name each dwarf so that you can annoyingly whisper to your friends throughout the movie, things like "that's Bifur, did you know that?" and "isn't Bombur such a fatty, oh Bombur you fatty." So let's go through them all, one-by-one. Finally the bomb rolls right in front of you and explodes ("bomb" - Bombur) as you see Thor laughing in the distance ("Thor" - Thorin). As you get back up, you wave bye to a furry creature ("bye fur" - Bifur) that is puffing ("puff" - Bofur) on a bomb that is being lit. You trip suddenly and shout " Oi!" as you hit yourself in the groin by accident ("oi" - Oin "groin" - Gloin). As you walk through this door, you are nose-up, ignoring everything around you, even all the gold and ore ("ignoring" - Nori "ore" - Ori) shining around you. The wall then turns into a door ("door" - Dori). As it hits the wall, the ball hits and kills a flea ("kills" - Kili "flea" - Fili). Imagine you're facing a wall with a big painted ' D' on it ("d-wall" - Dwalin), when suddenly a ball comes flying out of nowhere and slams into the wall ("ball" - Balin). If you can't, keep reading and picture the following story: If you can say all of those in one go already without looking, you're pretty groovy. Next, you gotta learn all the dwarves' names as a group so if anyone ever asks you "what are the names of all the dwarves from 'The Hobbit'?" you'll be like "bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam and BAM - in your FACE!" So here we go.ġ3 dwarves in all (in the order that they are introduced in the book and most likely the movie as well): Dwalin, Balin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin. You'll be cast out to Mordor by your cosplaying Gandalf friends. If you wanna be cool while talking about multiple dwarves, don't ever say that 'f.' EVER. "Dwarves" is spelled with a 'v' - not "dwarfs" with an 'f.' It's a Tolkien thing. And they all look the same and have weird dwarvish names.īut first things first. If you're gonna go see 'The Hobbit' in theaters next week (which if you aren't, you need to seriously re-evaluate your life priorities), you'll need some help memorizing some of the main characters' names.
