When does Bilbo Baggins show Loyalty in The Hobbit?
Bilbo Baggins is loyal because when the dwarves were captured by the goblins he went back into the horrible, horrible tunnels and look for his friends. He had just made up his mind that it was his duty, and that he must turn back.
What is the looking glass that Bilbo wants?
Bilbo wants a looking glass (a mirror) in order to see himself in the elvish armor he attains from Thorin in the old dwarvish palace under the mountain. He thinks he must look rather ridiculous as far as hobbits should look, but still has a desire to see himself.
What are Bilbo's parting words to Thorin before Thorin dies and why are these included in the text?
"No!" said Thorin. "There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended into measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell!"
Where do the Weasley's live after the burrow was destroyed?
This is a slight oversight in the movie. The Weasleys continue to live at the Burrow, it must have been repaired somehow as they continue to live there later. In the book it wasnt destroyed, at least not to that extent.
Why does Bilbo tell the dwarves about his magic ring?
Bilbo can see that he and the dwarves are about to be overwhelmed by the spiders and decides he has to disappear in front of them. After they get away the dwarves are bewildered by his turning invisible and must have the story of his escape from Gollum again. Balin in particular feels he is owed an explanation because Bilbo made him look bad earlier when he snuck past Balin on guard.
