What are giants?

It has been sooooo long since I read The Hobbit (my first fantasy book, way back in high school), but it's interesting to me that the giant scene you described sounds very much like the one from the Chronicles of Narnia - I forget which volume it is, exactly, but I think it's The Silver Chair. The children have to pass in front of a mountainous range which turns out to be giants tossing boulders at each other. I believe Tolkien and Lewis were good friends.
