Fíli and his brother, Kíli are the third and fourth dwarves respectively to enter Bag End, and introduced the storyline. When Bilbo says they're at the wrong house, both the brothers ask if the meeting has been canceled. Bilbo answers that nothing was canceled, and the brothers barge in as if invited in. Fíli gives Bilbo his weapons. When the other dwarves come into the dining table, Fíli is seen walking on it. After Thorin enters, Fíli says that they may be few in numbers, but they're fighters to the last dwarf.

One night during the night, Fíli and Kíli tease Bilbo as Orc raids are bloody. Thorin reprimands them, which makes them stop. In the troll-shaws, Fíli and his brother are charged watching the ponies. The brothers have problem with a couple of trolls. When Bilbo comes to give them dinner, the brothers report that their ponies are gone. It's Fíli and Kíli's bright idea to send Bilbo and they say they're right behind him when he faces the trolls. In truth, the brothers abandon Bilbo to the trolls, but return with backup. This plan backfires when the trolls use Bilbo and threaten to rip him apart. Due to Bilbo's meddling, and Gandalf assisting teh sun to turn the trolls to stone, teh Dwarves are freed.

While Kíli says they almost gave up on him, Fíli asks how he got past the Goblins. Gandalf says it does not matter, as he is back. Thorin asks, and Bilbo answers that he came back to help the dwarves get their home back. All of them are touched by this.

The company gets cornered by Azog's hunting party. Fíli throws with good aim, knocking a couple of orcs, and sharing his fire with Bilbo. After the tree tips, Fíli watches as his uncle faces down the Pale Orc by himself. Then Bilbo saves Thorin and defends the former's defeated and unconscious body.

Fortunately, the Eagles find Thorin and Company and fly them to the Carrock into safety.At the Carrock, Fili helped his uncle up from sturggling to get up all on his own. Thorin shrugs them off and approaches Bilbo, giving him a hug. Filli can be seen smiling that the two of them have finally made peace with each other.

## Trivia

* Fili is the Hobbit equivalent to Merry.
* He was originally going to be played by Robert Kazinsky but was replaced by Dean O'Gorman based on the fact Kazinsky dropped out of the film for personal reasons.
* Fili was originally going to survive the Battle of the Five Armies, but his relation to Thorin was different. Instead Fili would be the grandson of Dis, and therefor, Thorin's great-nephew. They were changed to uncle and nephew instead to give them a closer relation.

## Difference from the Source Material

* Fíli along with Kíli both had yellow hair. In the, film, Fíli is the blonde one and Kíli is a brunette.
* Instead of Thorin sending Bilbo to steal from the Trolls, it is both Fíli and his brother who send Bilbo to save the Ponies.
* Fíli and the others rush in to save Bilbo separately, but Fíli and Kíli returned with a group.
* Fili died on the battle field along with Kili while defending Thorin in the book. The movie portrays it differently. Both Fili and Kili were killed differently in the film: Fili was killed by Azog the Defiler and Kili was killed by Bolg.
