Please, No

 

"Our hearts, even bigger than our feet."

This is said by a 'Harfoot' (they refuse to call them Hobbits, though they certainly are) in a trailer for Amazon's "The Rings of Power". Canonically speaking, unless one is a Proudfoot, Hobbits do not have particularly large feet. This is a concept brought over from the Peter Jackson films, where the Hobbit character actors had from necessity to wear large prosthetic feet over their own. Even if this is accepted as a cinematic feature, I'm not sure if Hobbits would refer to their own (to them) normal features as big, rather than other races as having proportionally small feet. But maybe that's just me picking nits one week before the series starts.
