I always pronounced Smaug as ‘smorg’, but according to that Jonathon Ross show clip it’s ‘smaowg’… What do you say?
(Surely ‘au’ is an ‘or’ sound, as in auto-?)

“Bilbo was now beginning to feel really uncomfortable.
Whenever Smaug’s roving eye, seeking for him in the shadows, flashed across him, he trembled, and an accountable desire seized hold of him to rush out and reveal himself and tell all the truth to Smaug. In fact he was in grievous danger of coming under the dragon-spell.”

Reposting because I just laugh every time. I see Sherlock instead of Smaug. :))
Love this!

Just wanted to point out that Forbes added Smaug to their Fictional 15 list. He is currently the 7th wealthiest fictional figure.
Also, the two men above and below him on the list are pretty awesome.
How have they judged Smaug’s wealth though…
Benedict Cumberbatch discusses his role as Smaug in the Hobbit on the Jonathan Ross Show.
