Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Fili and Kili arrive, the door is left open. We never hear the door close, yet it is closed when Bilbo goes to get the door for Gandalf and the other dwarves. (00:19:00 - 00:19:40)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dwalin arrives, Bilbo has his hand on the door when he says "Is what down where?" His hand is by his side in the following shot. (00:16:35)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: The scene where Bilbo first meets Gandalf. As Bilbo says "Not Gandalf the wandering wizard who made such excellent fireworks?", the grip of Gandalf's staff changes between two shots. (00:14:10)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Frodo puts a fresh smooth sign on the Bag End gate. In Fellowship, when Gandalf arrived at Bag End, the sign was all tattered around the edges. (00:11:25)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Frodo is talking to Bilbo about him being unsociable, Bilbo starts to turn to Frodo with a note to put on the gate. In the next shot, he starts to turn around again. (00:11:20)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: The shot where Frodo walks back into Bag End with the mail and the shot where Gandalf knocks on the Bag End door in Fellowship of the Ring are apparently the same setting, but it is different between the two different movies. First, the grass around the bench closest to the door has long grass around it, but there is short grass in Fellowship. Second, behind the bench is some sort of bucket on its own. In Fellowship, there are a few things next to it that aren't even there in The Hobbit. Third, further behind the bench is a lamp post, about a meter and a half away from some pink flowers, that was right next to the pink flowers in Fellowship. Fourth, next to the window are some green flowers that cover half of the windows. In Fellowship, those green flowers are a much lighter green and cover the entire window. Considering only an hour passed between these two times it's hardly possible the flowers would grow, and since Bilbo was too busy working on his story, he wouldn't have moved something. (00:09:30)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene with older Bilbo and Frodo, the mailbox is next to the gate. In Fellowship of the Ring, the mailbox was behind the edge of the gate. (00:09:20)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When the Arkenstone is found, the miner who found it has one hand on the wall and his other hand by his side. In the next shot, one of his hands is suddenly reaching for the stone. (00:03:35)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When the Ring falls out of Gollum's pocket, it lands on dry ground. When Bilbo picks up the Ring, the ground is now wet. (01:58:30)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Bofur tells Bilbo in the cave that he is homesick, Bilbo's hair suddenly gets a lot wetter. (01:50:30)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: At the dinner scene at Bilbo's house, just before Bofur throws the egg at Bombur's mouth, Fili is seen sitting next to Bombur. Yet as Bombur catches the egg, Ori is now sitting where Fili was sitting.

Casual Person

Deliberate mistake: When Bilbo finds The Ring, he kneels down to get it. In the prologue in Fellowship Of The Ring, Bilbo is lying on the ground. The direction he looks toward when he overhears Gollum is also different.

Casual Person

Trivia: When Gandalf and the dwarves are fighting their way out of The Misty Mountains, one of the goblins is knocked off a bridge and lets out a recognisable Wilhelm scream.

Casual Person

Question: What happened to Radagast? One minute he's running away from the Orcs, but then the Orc is standing on a stone and then Radagast disappears for the rest of the movie.

Casual Person

Question: The Hobbit trilogy takes place 60 years before Lord Of The Rings, and it is shown that Bilbo takes the Ring from Gollum and escapes the Misty Mountains with it. What exactly has Gollum been doing for the past 60 years?

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Just after Radagast has a flashback of him seeing the Necromancer, some of the white stuff on his beard disappears briefly in the shot where he inhales the stuff in Gandalf's pipe. (01:15:20)

Casual Person

Other mistake: In this movie, Gandalf looks older than he does in his grey incarnation in Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring. However, this takes place before the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, so he should look younger, or the same.
