Today’s much-anticipated “first look” at two more Dwarves from The Hobbit come to us courtesy of TIME. And it is indeed high time we met Ken Stott as Balin and Graham McTavish as Dwalin.
Here follows the accompanying description of these Dwarves:
Dwarf Lords in their own right, Balin and Dwalin are close relatives of Thorin. Beyond this, these brothers are two of his most loyal and trusted friends.
An old warrior, Balin has lived through hard times and fought many battles, yet he harbors doubts about the wisdom of the Quest to retake the Lonely Mountain.
Dwalin has no such forebodings – his belief in Thorin’s leadership is unshakeable. A powerful and bruising fighter, with a natural tendency to distrust anyone who is not a Dwarf, particularly anyone who might be an Elf, Dwalin is not someone to cross lightly.
What do you think of these Dwarves? Discuss on our message boards.

(The following opinion piece is third in the “Hot Dwarves” series, following yesterday’s Now this is what I’m talking about)
Hey ‘Hobbit’ PR machine!
9 out of 10 women agree: Bifur, Bofur & Bombur are hot.
Dwarf women!
But so do we! They definitely look hot in those outfits – hey, fur and leather and hair and all that gear is definitely hot. Sweaty hot! And oooooh, did I mention that hair? Steamy!
** grin **
In a strategic move of photo-releasage, Peter Jackson gave us three more dwarves today and has successfully quelled the squees of outrage over the glowering sexiness that is Kili. Bravo, sir!

The character rolloout continues as IGN has the latest exclusive image from The Hobbit featuring (r-l) Stephen Hunter as Bombur, James Nesbitt as Bofur and William Kircher as Bifur.
We also have the cast so far (below) before these additions thanks to the talented contributor Paul who will probably add the newest trio as well. The Dwarves are part of the Peter Jackson directed pair of films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit,” called “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” and “The Hobbit: There and Back Again,” scheduled for theaters in December 2012 and December 2013. TheOneRing.net will be talking about the films at the San Diego Comic-Con next week.

(The following opinion piece is a follow-up to the Dec 2010 To Be Hot or Not? That is the Dwarf Question)
Forget Figwit. New dwarf snapshots arrived yesterday and there, in all of his glory, is what my fellow female TORn staffers are calling “Bigwit” – “Bilbo is great – Who is that?”
Yes, Kili is looking pretty damn good.
As I predicted, this movie isn’t going to be all bumbling, hairy, stumpy dwarves. Younger dwarves seem taller. Perhaps they shrink as they get older? Younger dwarves aren’t quite as hairy… well, it takes time to grow that much body hair, I guess.
I took a lot of flack for my last column, when I suggested Hollywood demands would force Peter to make the dwarves worthy of being on People Magazine’s “Most Beautiful” list.
Half of you seemed to think it blasphemous to suggest Peter Jackson can do anything wrong… and the other half of you thought that most of the actors were incapable of being Hot. So who are the shallow folks here, eh?

The influx of Dwarf pics continues with a Hitlist MSN Exclusive!
Dean O’Gorman as Fili and Aidan Turner as Kili in “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.” Two of the youngest dwarves, Fili and Kili have been born into the royal line of Durin and raised under the stern guardianship of their uncle, Thorin Oakensheild.

Skilled fighters, both brothers set off on their adventure armed with the invincible courage of youth, neither being able to imagine the fate which lies before them.
