: How many places does the Hobbit mention giants?I only remember three off the top of my head: 1) During the storm when Bilbo saw the giants tossing rocks from the cave in the High Pass.2) After the escape from the Goblins, Gandalf said something about getting a decent giant to seal up the cave's entrance where they were taken by the Goblins. 3) When telling Bilbo and the Dwarves about Beorn (prior to actually meeting him), Gandalf speculated Beorn's people came from the mountains before the giants came, or something like that. Don't have time to check right now. Michael
