Balin, but Thorin's OK, too
Poor Thorin -- he really wasn't that bad to Bilbo, except when overcome with gold lust (it could happen to some hobbits I have known . . . oops, wrong book). Apart from Bilbo, he's my favorite character in the book because of that dramatic change in the end: one minute he's making a fool out of himself atop the wall with Bilbo, and the very next time we see him he's a noble dwarf leading a charge and drawing everyone to him, including Men and Elves. That's very interesting (not to mention a difficult literary achievement to pull off well).
He's a little too kingly to be my favorite dwarf, though. That would be Balin -- he is the most thoughtful towards Bilbo and visits him later on, but I especially like all the fuss he makes about his air holes as Bilbo is packing him into the barrel in the Elven King's cellar...not to mention that he's such a good lookout that he always gets the job, in spite of his wearing red. |

i liked thorin for some reason i am not sure why. bilbo is my favourite character in the book though. not that that has much to do with this thread...
i find myself saying the same thing i said about smaug (basically). i liked that thorin was so arrogant. though being arrogant doesnt make him cool, i like him because he is arrogant. and because i just like him. if that makes any sense whatsoever. |

Of Gandalf's thirteen, I like Balin, thoughtful and nice to Frodo, and Thorin, because behind his arrogance and pride he really did have a nice heart.
If it was outside the thirteen, well... |

my favourite dwarf would be be Thorin. He is so valiant and for his part in the battle of five armies alone he would be my favourite. I also liked balin for looking out for bilbo.
I dont think enough is said about the other Dwarves to distinguish which one is the better. |

I like Balin, Dori, and poor old fat Bombur. Not in the 13 I really liked Dain.

Although Thorin Isn't really a likeable character, His death scene with Bilbo, when they reconcile, really chokes me up. There are alot of touching moments throughout JRRT, and this is definately one of them.

I loved Fili and Kili, and Thorin wasn't too bad either, other than being a little full of himself. Of course my favorite character was Bilbo

I like Balin because he was nice to Bilbo and I like Dori. His complaining brightened the story!

I couldn't stand Thorin, I liked the rest though. And I guess Thorin was ok at the end.
