- there will certainly be violence and death. Most likely, there won't be any death amongst the 'good guys' - including minor characters - (apart from flashbacks) at first, but there should be evidence that Middle-Earth is a world where violent death is not uncommon (Gollum's cave and the Troll's lair may be shown to contain the remains of past victims). In the first movie, some of the bad guys may be dealt with in ways that don't involve dismemberment (stabbing, throwing from a high place, bludgeoning -or setting on fire, etc). Later as the story gets darker (and Bilbo himself becomes more of a warrior) we will see LOTR-style battles. For a 'children's book' , there is a lot violence in the Hobbit. Between Smaug who causes tremendous loss of life amongst the people of Erebor, Dale and Lake-Town, the devastation of the Battle of Five Armies and the Dwarf-Orc War, the on-screen death toll has the potential to rival or even surpass that of the Lord of the Rings movies..
