Gandalf orchestrates everything, and before long - and in spite of doubts harbored by the chief dwarf, Thorin - Bilbo finds himself stepping into the role of "burglar" for the group.įrom there, the halfling is uncomfortably swept off on the adventure.

In the aftermath of the meeting, Bilbo's peaceful life is turned on its head as he finds himself hosting an unexpected party of dwarves who are setting out on a quest to reclaim their homeland from a fiery dragon.
