When I was reading the description of the hobbit, I was thinking about the movie, which made everything easier to imagine.

Description of hobbits: They are (or were) a little people, about half our height, and smaller than the bearded dwarves. Hobbits have no beards. they are inclined to be fat in the stomach, they dress in bright colours (chiefly green and yellow); wear no shoes, because their feet grow natural leathery soles and thick warm brown hair like the stuff on their heads (which is curly); have long clever brown fingers, good natured faces, and laugh deep fruity laughs. (Tolkien 2)

Description of Gandalf: All that the unsuspecting Bilbo saw that morning was an old man with a staff. He had a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, a silver scarf over which his long white beard hung down below his waist, and immense black boots. (Tolkien 4)

I think Hobbits' physical appearance reflects their personality. They are good natured and merry, so they are a bit fat and got good laughs. Their characteristics are that they like quiet, peace, order which can be seen from their short height, no beards and calm colors of clothes. Also, Gandalf is very mysterious and his mysteriousness is described through his physical appearance. Tall hat, long cloak, silver scarf and a long white beard.
