But it's essential to Bilbo's character that he is *middle-aged*: set in his ways, unwilling to adapt- the tension with *having* to adapt (in so many ways) is the mainspring of the story. A Bildungsroman with no Youth.
McAvoy is just too bloody young. (Btw, 50 is 50. Hobbits don't mature any more slowly than we do).
