It works just fine with 2 players playing 1 hobbit each, except for one thing...
The rules say that if there are only 2 hobbits, you don't get all the cards from Rivendell and Lothlorien. (My copy is quite old -- ISTR later versions of the rules may have changed this.)
I don't recommend doing this. In my opinion the advantages and disadvantages of having 2 hobbits balance quite well already, without losing so many useful cards from the game! You can play it like that, but it makes the game much tougher.

For what it's worth, I own the newer FFG edition and have not heard of that rule so I'm thinking it's not in the rulebook. We play 2-player with just 2 hobbits (the rules say you should always play with Frodo and Sam for 2-players) but really no other differences.
