‘Rings of Power’ fans beginning to understand why Hobbits are so reluctant to leave the Shire

The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power has introduced us to the harfoots, a precursor to the hobbit we came to know and love in Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Far in the future from the events that are currently unfolding in the Amazon series, the hobbits live in the Shire, an idyllic and pastoral area that they are very reluctant to leave, and based on what we saw in episode three, fans are not surprised at all.

The harfoots in the series are a hardy people, they live out in the open rather than in hobbit holes, and are semi-nomadic. The various harfoot families band together and migrate as one towards the Vale of Anduin, avoiding being seen by the “big folk” due to their small size and vulnerability. This migrating period, known as the Wandering Days, is not easy for the diminutive people, and due to the nature of needing to move forward, they often have to leave the weak ones behind in some form of survival of the fittest.
