Throughout the films he is largely a source of comic relief, most of which pertains to his size and love of eating such as catching food in mid-air, being able to outrun his fellow Dwarves despite his girth, exceptional fighting skills, and breaking a table under his own weight with the addition of merely an ounce of food in his hand. In the extended edition of the third film, he speaks after the axe in Bifur's head is removed. Unlike in the book, Bombur appears less frequently and has virtually no dialogue in the films other than grunts or retorts. Despite his size he can be surprisingly effective as a fighter вЂ“ and woe betide anyone who makes him late for dinner! His immense size and voracious appetite causes frequent problems вЂ“ and laughter вЂ“ for himself and The Traveling Party.

In 2012, the studio released the following statement about Bombur's character:Д«rother to Bofur and cousin to Bifur, Bombur is the chief cook amongst The Company of Dwarves. In Peter Jackson's live-action The Hobbit films, he was portrayed by Stephen Hunter. His last words are to Bilbo, 'We won.' He was voiced by Paul Frees.Д«ombur captured by a Troll The Hobbit film trilogy Unlike in the book, he is killed in the Battle of Five Armies. He fights in the front lines in Battle of the Five Armies, and takes spear damage by a warg rider. In the animated version of The Hobbit, Bombur has a major role in Thorin's company alongside Balin and Dori. Such a change finds some evidentiary support in the book Bifur, Bofur and Bombur all arrive at Bag End at the same time as Thorin, and they also climb up the same tree when the company is attacked by Wargs and Goblins. Rateliff, in the never-completed third revision of The Hobbit, Bombur, along with Bifur and Bofur, was to become an honour-guard of sorts to Thorin. It is unknown if Bombur fought in the Battle of Dale during the War of the Ring.ДЄccording to The History of The Hobbit by John D. In The Lord of the Rings, many years later while in Rivendell, Frodo Baggins learned from GlГіin that Bombur had grown so fat it that it now took several Dwarves simply to lift him from his couch to the dinner table. After the defeat of Smaug, Bombur received his share of the treasure and remained at the Lonely Mountain until the end of his days. He fought and survived along with most of the company at the Battle of Five Armies. He then snuck the Arkenstone out of the mountain and delivered it to the Elvenking and Bard the Bowman. After the death of Smaug, Bilbo promised to keep watch to allow Bombur to rest. Once they arrived at the Lonely Mountain, he was assigned a midnight watch and was asleep when Bilbo discovered the Side-door. When his barrel was opened after the escape from the Elvenking's Halls, he was found to be asleep. Bombur had forgotten their previous adventures during their journey, only remembering the feast in Bilbo's home). When he was violently knocked into the Enchanted stream by an aggressive stag, he fell under a spell which caused him to sleep for several days, burdening the others with his weight as they traveled. However, he was later forced to use the ropes to escape the rampaging dragon Smaug before he could be slain.Д«ombur was often asleep during the Quest of Erebor. He chose to stay and guard the camp and supplies while the others moved up the Lonely Mountain, because he trusted neither mountain paths nor ropes to stay intact under his weight. Bombur tumbled with Bifur and Bofur onto Thorin when they first entered Bag End. Because he was commonly considered to count for two Dwarves due to his girth, he was the last to arrive at Beorn's house and the last to cross the Enchanted stream in Mirkwood. Prior to the journey, Bombur likely resided in the Blue Mountains alongside Thorin, after the loss of ThrГЎin II.Д«ombur was the twelfth Dwarf arriving at Bag End to attend the meeting arranged by Gandalf, where the quest to reclaim Erebor began. Bombur was thus roughly 150 years old during the quest. His birth date is unknown, though it fell somewhere between TA 2763 and TA 2859 the brothers FГli and KГli were the youngest of the thirteen 'by some fifty years,' and, after Thorin was captured, Balin was 'the eldest left.' FГli was born in TA 2859, and Balin was born in TA 2763. Bombur was not of Durin's line, although he was descended from the Dwarves of Khazad-dГ»m. He was the brother of Bofur and cousin of Bifur.
