You, my brown-eyed Frodo - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have to admit my only exposure to the movies comes from YouTube. Now that you know that, I also have to admit I didn't really have a good picture of the characters in my head. I was shocked, however, to see blond and/or blue-eyed Hobbits.

Frodo, in my head, was just a little thinner than the others, more refined, I guess the term would be.

Sam was sturdy, brown hair/eyes, tanned from being outside so much.

Merry and Pippin didn't really have mental images, just generic Hobbits slightly taller than normal, especially Merry.

I have to admit what I've seen of movie!Aragorn looks pretty good to me.

Gimli doesn't look gruff? earthy? enough.

Gandalf and Saruman are pretty much spot on.
