**Dori**  is a fictional character in the Middle-Earth legendarium. He was a minor character in *The Hobbit* book and a mentioned-only protagonist in *The Lord of the Rings* trilogy. In Peter Jackson's film saga, he appears as a supporting protagonist in *The Hobbit* trilogy.

He is portrayed by Mark Hadlow in the film trilogy adaptation.

## Personality

Dori was given a much better personality than the other characters. He is mentioned as the strongest of the dwarves, being the one to carry Bilbo at least three times throughout the novel, which is why Dori always complained, as well as Bombur would. However Dori does help Bilbo on occasion, being the last person to escape a tough situation. He additionally owned a purple cloak similar to his kinsman Nori and often agreed with Bilbo and Nori's views about meals and tea

In the films, Dori is depicted as Nori and Ori's hafl-brother and having the same mother but different fathers. He is caled fussy, overprotective, kind, gentle, fatherly, and pessimistic, which is why Nori had a strained relationship wtih Dori. The dwarf was also motherly and fatherly to his two brothers, possibly due to lack of a parent. He was often polite, calling Gandalf "Master Gandalf". Bilbo described Dori as a "a decent fellow, despite his grumbling,". He dislikes unnatural things and tries to be polite to people as much as possible.

He sometimes gets too overprotective of his brothers, which was something that had probably distanced himself from Nori. However, Dori was just merely looking after his brothers because he loves them very dearly and holds his friends in the highest regard.

## Animated films

In Rankin and Bass' *The Hobbit*, Dori is one of the few dwarves to speak (other than Thorin) along with Bombur and Balin.
