I like Bombur mainly because all troubles seemed to gravitate toward the poor guy. I also like Óin and Glóin (Glóin especially, because he spawned the best; Gimli).

I liked Thorin a lot--he is probably the most complex Dwarf ever, aside from Gimli. Thorin went from being high-and-mighty to alarmingly obsessive to redemptive at the end. The many sides of his character were well depicted and entertaining to read.
I also liked Dáin, who (I'm not sure about the spoiler policy here, so I'll err on the side of caution)
The elderly and kindly Balin was also endearing, though I agree scarlet isn't the best color for a lookout.
Alas, Fili and Kili, we barely knew ye... Besides being plucky and loyal young Dwarves they were also the last of Thrór's line, and that entire line died out with them. In many ways Thrór and his descendents were symbolic of the hardship of Dwarves in a darkening world, and I was sorry to see their story end this way. The blunt-speaking Glóin was also a favorite, if only because of his son. And anyway the fellow has his good points--he can be hasty, as shown in both The Hobbit and LoTR, but he's also quick to admit it if he's shown to be in the wrong. Come to think of it, that's true of aforementioned son, too. Argh, too many to choose from! I'm just a little dwarf-obsessed, in case you can't tell... |

Fili, Kili, Balin (he's very elven exept for the fact he's a dwarf) and Oin (he keeps a journal, I find people who keep journals are usually clever and reasonable)

I really hated Bombur in the beginning, but that was a long time ago.
When I read The Hobbit for the first time I remember thinking "how can all the dwarfes survive every adventure?". I thought that at least Bombur would die very soon (because of his weight, of course) and that the weakest dwarves would follow him sooner or later.
But now, I don't hate Bombur anymore. On the contrary I like him very much. I loved to read that he had become even more fat in LotR My favourite dwarf is Balin, it hurt me to find him dead in LotR. But after reading LotR, I started to like Glóin, since he and Bilbo had a little chat in Rivendell. That made me nostalgic and made me want to read The Hobbit again. And when Gimli, the son of Glóin,

well my favourite dwarves from the hobbit are fili and kili as in the battle of five armies they defended thorin with their own bodies.they were brave warriors and were willing to lay down their lives for him.
my two favourite dwarves of all are gimli and dain-my explanation would be too long

my favourite was thorin. All though he was a bit greedy he wanted what belonged to him. (the gem i can't remember, bilbo found it i think). he was allways serious and smart. Great worrier.
all though my favorite all time dwarf would be durin the deathless. one of the seven dwarfs made my Aule the valar and build moria. |

Definetly Fili and Kili, though Bombur made any and all situations hilarious. Poor guy, I couldn't stand to see him fall in the stream. So... predictable though.

Thorin and Bombur. Bombur seemed like a very agreeable dwarf, and rather sweet. I just thought Thorin was interesting.

Bombur, Kili, Fili, and Balin. Besides Dori and Thorin, they were really the only ones that developed a personality throughout the book. The others weren't mentioned as often. Bombur just seemed absolutely adorable, and i can just imagine the fat little dwarf whining to let him go back ot sleep. Kili and Fili were the young ones that always got stuck with the bad jobs, but they seldom complained, the ending was so tragic! They had the most potential to become great in the end, soo sad....Balin was just a good guy,always treated Bilbo well. I really didn't like Thorin, he always underestimated Bilbo, and he was extremely greedy, which i suppose is the dwarf way, but still. Dori was a good dwarf, and would probably be my fifth favorite.
