Ears
Have you noticed that Hobbits have simila ears to Elves. Hey, they are quite like a cross between a human, elf and dwarf.
Human in features Elf in ears Dwarf in size ( just a bit smaller) I was wondering who else noticed it.

What's special about Hobbit ears? If you mean pointy, where did you get that from?

I expect he refers to PJ's movies, though such a post would not fit here. But I think that JRRT did at one point say that Hobbit's had "elvish" ears, meaning pointed; I think this was referring to the fairies and elves of Arthur etc., not to the Eldar of Middle-Earth.

Tolkien wrote in the Letters that, when describing Bilbo: A round, jovial face; ears only slightly pointed and 'elvish'; hair short and curling (brown).
"Elvish" here, I believe, refers to the popular conception of elves, so still no evidence that elves had pointy ears.

Eather the Hobbit or the prolauge in The Fellowship of the Ring states that Hobbits have pounty earse, I don't know about elves though, I think that it says it somewhere!

Too bad for you, then. Tolkien never said that his elves had pointy ears. In fact, ne never mentions their ears at all. That would be odd if they were pointed or even leaf shaped, but since elf ears were the same as human ears it makes sense.
In fact, elves can be told from humans by their bearing, beauty, fair voices, and bright eyes. But not by ears. Hobbit ears would fall within the maximum genetic variation of the human race. That means that they couldn't have been much more pointed than the ears of any human alive today.

My theory is that PJ just likes doing ears.
And shouldn't this belong in the movies, since it's based more on movie ears?

Who knows, maybe he always imagined them to have pointy ears. And I know that we have all read the books and studied them closely, but possibly (some 'mooters are gonna kill me for saying this) we are missing (should I say this?) a part of the book (doges all of Farmer Maggots dogs that the 'mooters sent out to kill me). Okay, I better leave before anyone reads this!

All of us?
Unlikely... I think he just LIKES doing the ear effect. Thus the elves at Helm's Deep so that someone would have had ears in TTT.

That might just be because they're fake and made in the same mould!

Actually, each set of ears has its own mold, based off the person who will wear it.

But ther are only so many different shapes you can make an ear, and let's face it, they're all gonna be the same shape coz they've all gotta be pointy!
