<BR><br><br> I think Aragorn was the tallest, then Boromir, then Gandalf.<br> <br> By the end of the tale, Merry & Pippin should have been taller than Frodo & Sam, though that may not have been the case at the beginning.<br> <br> Halflings would be four feet (max) or less, down to three feet.<br> <br> Much smaller these days...<br> <br> <br> I've read somewhere that the Numenoreans (Aragorn being a true descendant) were taller than other men, well over six feet. Bree men were shorter. Riders of Rohan would be inbetween. Ghan buri ghan and his folk would be between Bree height and hobbit height.<br> <br> If I had to guess, I'd say a tall hobbit of this time would be less than four feet, Merry & Pippin growing to about that height. If they were head and shoulders above other hobbits, this would make the average halfling at around three feet, or half the height of the average man. <p><center> <a href="http://www.barrowdowns.com">Barrow-Downs</a>~<a href="http://www.geocities.com/robertwgardner2000">Bare Bones</a>~<a href="http://pub41.ezboard.com/btarostineruhir">Tar Ost-in-Eruhir</a>~<a href="http://www.geocities.com/robertwgardner2000/gilthalion.html">Grand Adventures</a>~<a href="http://www.barrowdowns.com/fanfichobbits.asp">The Hobbits</a>~<a href="http://www.tolkientrail.com">Tolkien Trail</a> </center></p>
