How would hobbits do as wizards?

I'm sorry I apparently missed your point. So the distinction you're making is that Ents are not a race, but are instead spirits, is that right?

Leaving aside for a moment the fact that your expose was not an opinion, I still have problems with that explanation.

Doesn't it strike you as odd that there are Entwives? This dichotomy of gender seems strange if Ents are supposed to be spirits.

In addition, I don't understand how Trolls could have been made "by the Enemy in the Great Darkness, in mockery of Ents, as orcs were of Elves.", and I certainly don't understand this:

"Learn now the lore of Living Creatures!
First name the four, the Free Peoples:
Eldest of all, the elf-children;
Dwarf the delver, dark are his houses;
Ent the earthborn, old as mountains;
Man the mortal, master of horses."

I certainly don't want to sound aggressive or anything like that, but unless I have missed something important, I think I have brought up enough elements to back up my claims, which would mean that your point of view is, well, a point of view. Tell me where I made a mistake.
