Bofur

Bofur is one of the main protagonists in Peter Jackson's live-action trilogy, The Hobbit, which serves as a prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Bofur is the cousin of Bifur and the older brother of Bombur, and a companion of Thorin Oakenshield's and Bilbo Baggins.

His forefathers were from Moria, not following the line of Durin andwas one of the four dwarves that were left behind while Thorin and the remaining company went up to the Lonely Mountain. He eventually survived the Battle of the Five Armies and said farewell to Bilbo as he left.

Bofur was portrayed by James Nesbitt.

Background
Bofur was born in the Blue Mountains as the older brother of Bombur, and the cousin of Bifur. He was also well acquainted with the line of Durin, and was chosen to be on the quest to reclaim Erebor from the dragon, Smaug.

"I wish you all the luck in the world, I really do."

- Bofur to Bilbo

Bofur was also one of the few dwarves to initially showed Bilbo kindness. The other ones included Fíli, Kíli, and Balin. Most of the others seemed to have completely ignore Bilbo, but Bofur was willing to enter a friendship with him. Despite only knowing each other for a few weeks, Bofur sometimes was protective over Bilbo, by pushing him into the center of  a circle when they were surrounded by a group of elves who intercepted Azog's army. Bofur later pulled Bilbo up against the  rocky side of the mountain and even attempted to pull him back onto the pathway when Bilbo hung on for dear life.

After Thorin insulted Bilbo, the Hobbit was prompted to take action and leave for Rivendell. Bofur tried convincing Bilbo to stay, as Bofur was one of thsoe who believed Bilbo was "one of them." However, seeing he couldn't convince him, Bofur did wish Bilbo luck in the world and both shook hands, but they were captured by goblins before Bilbo left.

When they were in Mirkwood, shortly after their escape from the Spiders, Bofur immediately asked where Bilbo was at and was one of the few to notice Bilbo's disappearance and notified Thorin, hoping he saw the hobbit.

During The Battle of the Five Armies, Bilbo and Bofur had a small conversation, where Bofur thought Bilbo was leaving them for good. He also refused to believe that Bilbo betrayed Thorin for selfish reason and helped him escape. When Bilbo left, Bofur nearly cried at saying goodbye, but Bilbo promised they were always welcomed to visit.

It is unknown if they remained in contact with each other after the Battle, but it is unlikely due to Bofur's and Bilbo's friendship.
