„The Hobbit, or There and Back Again" is a book most people know from two directions: the novel and Peter Jackson's film trilogy. The differences between them are considerable, and most wrong answers in quizzes come from exactly that. This quiz tests the novel — ten questions about Bilbo, the dwarves, Gollum and Smaug the dragon.
What to revise before the quiz
The plot carries Bilbo Baggins from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain. The key stages are the meeting with Gandalf and thirteen dwarves, the trolls on the forest road, Rivendell, the goblins in the Misty Mountains, the riddle contest with Gollum, the spiders of Mirkwood, captivity among the Wood-elves, Lake-town and finally the Lonely Mountain.
The details most often confused: Smaug is killed by Bard the Bowman, not by Bilbo or Thorin. Bilbo finds the Ring by accident in the goblin tunnels — he does not win it in the riddle contest; what he wins there is the right to leave. The Arkenstone is the heirloom of Thrain, not one of the Rings of Power.
Characters the questions cover
Bilbo Baggins — a hobbit pulled out of a comfortable life who turns from a burden into the most resourceful member of the company. Thorin Oakenshield — leader of the dwarves, grandson of King Thror; his greed drives the conflict at the end. Gandalf — the wizard who disappears and returns at decisive moments.
Gollum — inhabitant of the underground lake, owner of the Ring, opponent in the riddle contest. Smaug — the dragon holding the Lonely Mountain, killed by Bard's arrow through the bare patch in his scales. Beorn — the skin-changer who shelters the company.
How the quiz works
Ten single-choice questions with no time limit. After each answer you see whether it was right, and at the end a summary of hits and misses. You can retake the quiz as often as you like; the order of questions stays the same, so progress is easy to compare.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions does the Hobbit quiz have?
Ten single-choice questions, with no time limit and no sign-in.
Who killed Smaug?
Bard the Bowman, of Lake-town, with an arrow through the bare patch on the dragon's chest. This is one of the most common mistakes in quizzes about the book.
Did Bilbo win the Ring in the riddle contest?
No. He found it earlier, by accident, in the goblin tunnels. What he played Gollum for was directions to the surface.
How many dwarves set out with Bilbo?
Thirteen, led by Thorin Oakenshield. Bilbo joins as the fourteenth member — the „burglar" hired by Gandalf.
Does the quiz test the book or the films?
The book. The film trilogy adds plotlines and characters absent from the novel, so answers based on the films are sometimes wrong.
