At the end of Return of the King, is that chubby older hobbit a male or ..

[fujiyama]

or female?

Those that have seen the movie may know who I'm talking about. It's teh hobbit that looks at Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry, with anger and kinda scoffs at them.

1. Male... his wife comes out in a scene in Fellowship...

and scowls at him for laughing at Gandalf's fireworks.

2. Ah

I have to see the first one again then. It's been a while since I last saw it.

3. Are you talking about the scene where Frodo gets on the boat

with Gandalf & the elves and such?

All the hobbits in that scene are male. The really old one with the long white/grey hair is Bilbo, Frodo's uncle, who gets on the boat with the elves. Then Gandalf starts towards the boat and turns around and tells Frodo that it's time to go. Frodo says good-bye to Merry & Pippin, then finally to Sam.

The very final scene is when Sam arrives back in the Shire and is met by his daughter, then by his wife Rosie Cotton Gamgee who is holding their newest baby. Sam says "Well, I'm back" and they go into the house together and close the door.
