Well, we don't get much detail about the firstborns, do we? LOTR is probably Tolkien's most detaield work and the only one we get there is Cirdan, and it doesn't mention magic in connection to him (We know from the Silm that he once had a Ring of Power and has constant communication with Ulmo, but neither of those is his own magic or power). The Noldor in Valinor definately had some sort of magic. After all, crafting gems? (not to mention silmarils). Galaddriel does. They probably each do in their own way, but as for a way to find out who has more? Maybe the important ones have more magic, or maybe their magic is talked about more because they are important, or maybe it is because they have more magic that they are imprtant, or maybe it goes down certain bloodlines, or maybe.... Well, I don't know.

Anyway, I will side with the same theme as Folwren and say that I would like to know more about hobbits in the days when they were adventurous, fighting people.
