how tall is thorin oakenshield

As a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit', I recall that Thorin Oakenshield's height isn't explicitly mentioned in the book. However, in the films, the actor Richard Armitage, who plays Thorin, is about 6'2''. Keep in mind, though, that all dwarves are portrayed as shorter compared to humans and elves.

Since the height of Thorin Oakenshield, the dwarf who is one of the protagonists, isn't clearly specified in Tolkien's writings, it's a bit obscure. However, Thorin is a dwarf, And dwarfs are on average shorter than men in Tolkien's universe.

According to the book, Thorin is shorter than the human and Elven characters. Meanwhile, in Peter Jackson's adaptation of 'The Hobbit', actor Richard Armitage, who is around 6'2'' tall, played Thorin. In the film, clever filming and editing techniques were used to make him appear much shorter in relation to other characters.

In the world of Middle-earth, Thorin Oakenshield is a member of the dwarf race, indicating he'd be shorter than men and elves. J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of 'The Hobbit' where Thorin is a character, never gave specific heights for his characters.

Even so, in the well embraced film adaptation by Peter Jackson, Thorin Oakenshield is portrayed by actor Richard Armitage, who stands at roughly 6'2''. Of course, cinematic tricks are employed to make him appear dwarf-sized in comparison to other races.
