GOLD - Kick it in, lose the first in third but gain the fourth, and Bilbo brings it home. [3]
COPPER - A policeman to fill the tubs. [5]
WILMA - Of old a lower vista for Fred's wife, mother of rock. [4]
FIRE - What the wizard brings to five plus a vowel. [4]
ANGA - In forbidden tongue the type of gaol is more than half cross, note. [2]
WATER - Noble when hot? Tyler sounds uncertain. [3]
SILVER - Thrice ten is a lot, but only three each below the window and in the song. [1]

A mix of chemical and classical elements from the books. I... am... not sure, in hindsight, why I didn't just use IRON for that last one, except that it would have made WILMA stand out even more.

Over to URWEN, and well done all.
