The Hobbit had such a following. and the movies, all of it. What is the origin of the book?

We might describe it as an invented story, so we could say that Tolkien invented it and then wrote it down.  A lot of human stories and religious stories and other literature are like this, that the author makes up the world.

Tolkien is the author. The fans of that book, are pretty hard core.

It sounds like you’re a fan of the book, and of the series of movies that was based on the book?

Oh, you’re talking about an audience, and I see you’ve named them “fans”.  I am a fan of the Three Stooges, do you think I am hard core?  So that term “hard core” might be used to describe something you find inspiring or interesting.
