[azriel]

Its the bit about Kili & his stonker for Tauriel that bothers me, Its said so "matter-of-factly", as if it WAS in Tolkiens story ! people are gonna think Tauriel is a true character, not a "blow-up doll" outa PJs imagination.

[Pettytyrant101]

Amazing- when you use the picture slider most of the actors have bigger beards normally than they ended up with as dwarves!

[Norc]

Ori
Who is: The youngest brother of Dori and Nori, he's the timid teenager of the pack who comes with a slingshot and a journal to write of his adventures.
Played by: Adam Brown (UK)

Bifur
Who is: The dwarf with the remnants of an orc axe in his head, which means he's the company's least conversational, most unhinged member.
Played by: William Kircher (NZ), who also plays one of the trolls in the trilogy.
--- does this mean he's like retarded? ---

Kili
Who is: The younger brother of Fili, he is another one of Thorin Oakenshield's nephews. He's already been branded "the hot dwarf" and reportedly develops a thing for willowy elf Tauriel (played by Evangeline Lilly of Lost fame).
Played by: Aidan Turner (Ireland)
--- I just hope it's a one-sided thing, AND why isn't Fili also named as "the other hot dwarf"? he's quite nice to look at too ---

Dwalin
Who is: The ultimate warrior of the company who doesn't much like anyone who isn't a dwarf.
Played by: Graham McTavish (UK)
--- I don't have anything against him, but I like the fact that his dwarf ears are exact, only larger copies of his "human" ears! (see picture) also.. this goes for all dwarves too, i noticed later, see Dori, Nori, but I just noticed it so much with Dwalin ---


Gloin
Who is: The father of Gimli from the Lord of the Rings. Quick-tempered and forthright in his opinions, he is one of the few married dwarves in the company.
Played by: Peter Hambleton (NZ)
--- so there are more married ones? ---

Thorin Oakenshield
Who is: The leader of the company who comes with his own surname and a very big sword.
Played by: Richard Armitage (UK), who just might be the Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) of this trilogy.

Oin
Who is: The brother of Gloin and a cousin to Thorin Oakenshield, he's effectively the company's financial backer as well as its medic.
Played by: John Callen (NZ)
--- well, i guess it's a good idea to have a medic with all that fighting... and there being a dragon involved ---

[David H]

Bifur
Who is: The dwarf with the remnants of an orc axe in his head, which means he's the company's least conversational, most unhinged member.
Played by: William Kircher (NZ), who also plays one of the trolls in the trilogy.
--- does this mean he's like retarded? ---

I think so. Mute and crazy, just like Dopy from Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"

Oin
Who is: The brother of Gloin and a cousin to Thorin Oakenshield, he's effectively the company's financial backer as well as its medic.
Played by: John Callen (NZ)
--- well, i guess it's a good idea to have a medic with all that fighting... and there being a dragon involved ---

Not much of a medic if you ask me. Can't even remove an axe head!

[Norc]

he was actually called dopy? so he was like doped? a children's movie? what? disney! c'mon!

[David H]

Actually he's called Dopey (I misspelled )







Edit:

So Ori = Bashful, Bifur =Dopey, and Oin = Doc. The Disney dwarfs have infiltrated TH!

[Mrs Figg]

I actually prefer Dwalin without make-up and stuff. He looks like a noble Dwarf naturally.

[Eldorion]

I can't believe that Kili actually has a beard in real life but they shaved it down to stubble for the movie. There is no justice.

[Norc]

yeah.. agree.. that makes no sense.. (other than he looks better with just stubbles )

[Pettytyrant101]

Not as a Tolkien dwarf he doesn't!

[Norc]

Not as a Tolkien dwarf he doesn't!

(I love this gif way too much)

[Eldorion]

(I love this gif way too much)

Yeah, I've noticed.

[Eldorion]

Here, I think this GIF is more appropriate for your feelings for Kili.

[Norc]

but. it's like wilfred. a dog. but a man. but a dog. and austrailen.

[Mrs Figg]

I love this one but I havent had reason to use it yet, which is odd.

[halfwise]

Oh, you need a reason. Lessee.

Oh Figgy - Petty says the grain of the wood in the Bree woodwork is too darkly grained to be properly English. Ruins the whole set for him.

US$2730 for an 18ct gold ring? What the fuck?

Still, it must be nice to make your living from nerds with more money than sense. {{{Meaning no offense if someone here has bought one of those. }}}
