We’re about to kick off our discussion of The Hobbit in The Hall of Fire. So if you’re keen to talk about what happens to Bilbo, Thorin and company as they go from the frying pan into the fire (that’s the Hobbit, chapter 6 for anyone confused!), feel free to join us!
We’ve finished — thanks to everyone who came along!
On this episode of Hobbit in 5, we talk about the next Hall of Fire chat, LOTRO expansion pack, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North at E3, Badali Jewelry sale, and invite you to test your trivia knowledge on The Lord of the Rings Facebook page! We are also happy to announce The Lord of the Rings In Concert: The Fellowship of the Ring. We take a look at Ori in our character study this week.

New Zealand website scene.co.nz reports that Peter Jackson’s Gulfstream private jet was spotted in Queenstown yesterday. The report states that post touchdown, a 15-person entourage headed out for a hanger at local chopper company Heliworks.
An eye-witness also states that:
“There were about 13 to 15 of them and they had a huge amount of gear and they all took off in choppers.”
TORn regulars will recall our previous reports concerning “The Hobbit” scouting parties in Queenstown from as far back as November 2009. For those who missed those reports, they can still be accessed from the links provided below:
