Unpopular Opinion Puffin

the movies do yes

And the book, which is the only form I've seen.

Yeah the Hobbit is technically more of a kid's book than an epic story like Lord of the Rings.

I'm salty about it from the homeschool Christian community I grew up in as a child.
They hyped it up so much for having "no magic" and just being amazing
It is full of plot conveniences

Dang.
As someone who has read it I can confidently say there is indeed magic in it.

Oh it definitely does

It doesn't make sense that some Christian circles are terrified of magic in fiction. I adore the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings in book and film, and i mostly read them because my grandparents (afraid of fictional magic) pushed it. Myself a Catholic, I find no issue with fictional magic, and even see it in Tolkien (Also Catholic)'s works. I even play D&D dammit, and i can confirm words on a page someone made up in five minutes do not hold a supernatural grip over existence

Ikr. I like Harry Potter and Percy jackson. I really don't get that group. I left that circle a while ago and now I'm in a different one who see nothing wrong with it.

I had to explain to them you can't cast a DND fireball by saying Verbal, Somatic. They thought the book contains the actions and words necessary to perform a spell (it has items listed, but if it needs words it just says Verbal, if it needs movement it just says Somatic)
