Is The Hobbit Canon?

I am new to the LOTR universe but have had friends who have always told me about the book called The Hobbit. Well my understanding is that The Hobbit is a sort of prequel or introduction to the actual LOTR trilogy and thus not part of the official canon.Do any of the LOTR experts here know if this is true or not? Is The Hobbit considered as binding in the official LOTR universe?

Oh yes, very much canon. Tolkien even altered a chapter of The Hobbit once LOTR was released to make it fit better and the appendices to LOTR include stories relayed by Gandalf about the relevance of the events of the Hobbit to LOTR.

So yup, as canon as you can get.

I never finished the book my neighbor once gave me to read but I did read The Fellowship of the Ring and liked it.

Interesting. So the movies don't always stick to the books?

The movies stick to the books about as little as they possibly can without telling a completely different story! Although I don't mind - both the books and films are very good!

And Haldir SHALL be avenged!!
