I have a question about the hobbit/lotr I read and saw the anima. version of the hobbit as well as the cartoon LOTR. Is the dragon Bilbo kills in the hobbit the evil spirit in LOTR? There are many simmilarities.

I, and probably many other people on this forum, suggest you read LotR books. I suppose this isn't a very bad theory if you have never read the books, but I can tell you that "the evil spirit" assuming you mean Sauron, is definatly not the spirit of the dragon Smaug. Read em, learn em, love em :). And welcome to the forum.

The Evil spirit in LOTR (Sauron)
is the Necromancer that Gandalf left to deal with
when he left Bilbo & Co. at the edge of Mirkwood. in the Hobbit ;)

Good theory, but no. And I thought the necromancer Gandalf expelled from Mirkwood was different from Sauron. Ooh, I must be losing my touch.
