The clue is “The Hobbit” Hobbit, so that makes it a bit hard as to what the clue is asking for. This comes from the August 4, 2024 edition of the NYT Mini Crossword puzzle. If you haven’t watched any of the Lord of the Ring movies, then this will definitely be tricky. To clear up the clue, it is asking fo the answer who is the Hobbit?
Who is the Hobbit we’re looking for
The answer as to who the Hobbit is, that would be BILBO. Bilbo Baggins is a charater in the LOTR movies. He even leads a trilogy of movies called the Hobbit. It is the only reasonable answer because he is worthy of the title of being “THE HOBBIT” in all of these movies.
Frodo could come as a second but Bilbo basically bankrolled these events when he came into possession of the one ring. Without talking spoilers, you should take a look at these movies to see why Bilbo is the Hobbit in question.
