- Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman and Ian Holm) The hobbit of the title is Bilbo, the “uncle” (technically first and second cousin, once removed either way) of Frodo Baggins of The Lord of the Rings.
- Gandalf the Grey (Sir Ian McKellen) Olórin was his name in his past in the West that is forgotten. Gandalf, he’s known as to the Men of the North; Mithrandir to the Elves; Tharkûn to the Dwarves; Incánus to the Men of the South; to the East he goes not.
- Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) Gandalf may have the greater defense of Middle Earth in mind, but the thirteen dwarves who mount the quest are looking to reclaim their treasure and their homeland.
- Balin (Ken Stott) It wasn’t just Thorin who lost his place as a figure of fun on the way to the screen. The whole company of dwarves is slightly ridiculous in the book, very much in need of Bilbo’s unexpected practicality and guidance.

In Jackson's live-action film series of The Hobbit, Balin is portrayed by Ken Stott as reluctant to go on the quest for old gold, whether or not the dragon had stolen it from Balin's ancestors. As such, he is sympathetic to Bilbo, who appears quite unsuitable for the task he is being given.
