mscontrarymary, I discovered that EW had posted photos of The Hobbit; you can find them here. Be sure to note that there are three photos, and don't miss the quotations under each.
Brilliant Husband and I think Bilbo's ear looks wrong. What do you think? Too big? I'm not sure exactly what's sparking this reaction in me. I don't remember particularly noticing Sam's and Frodo's ears. Ah, I see why: Google Image searches for Sam Gamgee and Frodo Baggins turn up reams of photos, but at least the top hits hardly show any ears. They're hidden in the characters' hair. I've no doubt Bilbo would look better with the hair more over his ears, and perhaps when he's in action, the ears won't be poking out like that.
Doesn't Martin Freeman look significantly younger in these than he did on Sherlock? That's a good thing; Bilbo's not very old for a hobbit, and we know he'll still be going strong decades later. (I think MF looks rather older in Sherlock than he is; it gave me a bit of a turn to look him up on IMDb and discover he's actually younger than I am!)
