Meet The Dwarves Of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Warner Brothers has released two new official pictures from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey have been released introducing us to the dwarves of the story.  The film hits theaters December 14, 2012.

The first photo features Jed Brophy as Nori, Adam Brown as Ori and Mark Hadlow as Dori. Warner Brothers also released the following description: These three brothers, all sons of the same mother, could not be more different from each other. Dori, the oldest, spends much of his time watching out for Ori, the youngest; making sure he’s not caught a chill or got himself killed by Wargs or Goblins. No-body quite knows what Nori gets up to most of the time, except that it’s guaranteed to be dodgy and quite probably, illegal. Dori, Nori and Ori are intensely loyal to each other – and whilst they are perfectly happy fighting amongst themselves, woe-betide any anyone who means harm to one of these brothers.

The second photo features John Callen as Oin and Peter Hambleton as Gloin. The description of these two is as follows: Distant cousins of Thorin Oakenshield, these two doughty Northern Dwarves join the Company out of a sense of loyalty to their kin, and also because they have a substantial sum of money invested in the venture. Along with Bombur, Gloin is the only other married Dwarf in the Company (there being a shortage of female dwarves in general). His wife is an acclaimed beauty with a particularly fine beard. Gloin is the proud father of a young son, Gimli, who will go on to become part of the famous Fellowship of the Ring.
