霍比特 transliterates "hobbit" and 人 marks a people, as in 中国人. Taiwan and Hong Kong say 哈比人 instead, for the folk and for the book and films.
culture
Tolkien wrote it as a children's book. Its hero 比尔博 finds the ring that drives the plot of the 魔戒, and Peter Jackson's three films of it (2012–2014) all came out under this title on the mainland.
