Test your 'Hobbit' knowledge

Director Peter Jackson is turning Tolkien’s popular children’s fantasy book “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” into a three-part epic centering on Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who, along with a baker’s dozen of dwarves, is requisitioned by the mighty wizard Gandalf the Grey to reclaim treasure stolen by the dragon Smaug. Does this sound dorky? If your answer is yes, odds are this quiz isn’t for you. But for those who can navigate the Misty Mountains and have had Dec. 14 — the film’s release date — circled on their calendars all year, take the quiz to test your knowledge of all things “Hobbit.”
