I mostly like Jackson's Ring series & this looks to be 'bout as good, but I've never gotten a consistent feel for the "actual" size of a Hobbit from the films.
Not sure if your question is really how tall are they, but in the lore of Lord of the Rings, they were called halflings because they were exactly half the size of the men who named them. If my memory is correct, it was the Numenor, who were tall (about 6' 5" to 7" average). That puts Hobbits at about 3' 2.5" to 3.5'.
That's been one of my gripes. Jackson has the hobbits the same height as the dwarves. Hobbits range from 3 to 4 feet, the tallest having been 4' 6". Dwarves range between 4 and 5. While you may have some seeing eye to eye around the 4 foot height, there should be a visible difference between Bilbo and the other dwarves.
It's mostly when they do the close scenes with characters side by side. On action or distant scenes where they substituted actual little people, those were much more accurate.
