This explains why Bilbo remained a mortal despite being granted access to Valinor. So, how did he die? Probably of old age. There is nothing in the stories to indicate otherwise. This is a question we have already discussed in a separate article see the link above , but Bilbo Baggins joined Frodo, Gandalf and the other members of the Fellowship of the Ring as they headed to Valinor, having been granted access because of their help in defeating Sauron and his army of Orcs.
So, ultimately, Bilbo Baggins joins the other heroes as they boarded the ship in Gray Havens; the ship soon set sail for Valinor, where the heroes who defeated Sauron and brought piece to Middle-Earth, got their deserved piece and harmony.
We hope you had fun reading this and that we helped solve this dilemma for you. Skip to content Bilbo Baggins is one of the principal characters of J. Table of Contents show. Does Bilbo Baggins live forever? Well, I'm working from memory here but the big birthday party was for Bilbo's eleventy-first birthdays, and I seem to recall that he was around the time of The Lord of the Rings. Someone with the source material in front of them may be able to give you more exact dates.
I see below that I was recalling things a little later than they were. Will edit. Show 4 more comments. I can't improve on dmkee's answer, but I'll add this just for completeness' sake: By the way, this is from Chapter 1, right after the Party [Bilbo:] "Well I've made up my mind, anyway. That gives us a rough timeline. MadTux MadTux 5, 2 2 gold badges 27 27 silver badges 76 76 bronze badges.
While true, and an excellent point, it doesn't really answer the question of what he did while the fellowship was on their quest e. SSumner He writes his book and bugs Elrond, as in dmkee's answer.
I just though I could add to that answer, giving some extra information. SSumner Thanks for the hint and thanks for the upvote :- — MadTux. Show 3 more comments. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password. Post as a guest Name.

Considering a hobbit's "coming of age" is 33 years old , Bilbo Baggins was like a spritely year-old ready to take on the world. Ugh, if only that would mean the same things for humans, am I right? If we follow the history of the books, the One Ring held many powers, some positive and evil. The first obvious effect was it would grant the wearer invisibility, and it would extend the lifespan of the wearer, so no aging!
This could cause some issue in determining the exact timeline of each of the worlds in the book, especially if age is not an indicator. From the movie Bilbo seems to be very young too. However he himself announced that it was his th birthday on the party. That leaves him 51 years old when Gandalf meets him for the first time. But on the contrary he shows no sign of old age. You are correct, Bilbo is 50 when he meets Gandalf in the Hobbit He will turn 51 later that year in the story.
Hobbits live longer then Humans, shown by the fact that Bilbo's age at the party of is not that unusual, what is unusual is how young he looks for his age due to the ring. Also Hobbits come of age at age 33, rather than is typically for Humans today. You say that Bilbo is quite young in the movie. Martin Freeman is 41 years old now, so was around 40 when filming the movies. Given that Hobbits live longer, I don't think its unrealistic to think that he doesn't look typically old for a 50 year old Hobbit.
The reason why Bilbo and Frodo look younger than what their age really is is because Hobbits life expectancy is around , with some living three decades past So they age slightly slower than humans For Example: An 18 year old human is equivalent to a 33 year old hobbit A 35 year old human is equivalent to a 50 year old hobbit.
