There and Back Again \u2013 Looking Back on an Extraordinary Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seventeen years ago, a film maker in New Zealand began his work bringing Middle-earth to the screen; and TheOneRing.net began a mission\u2026 quest\u2026 thing. In the years which followed, we\u2019ve travelled far and wide, in cyberspace and in the real world; meeting cast and crew; getting magical glimpses behind the scenes; and most importantly, sharing an epic journey with our fellow fans across the globe. Join staffers from TheOneRing.net to share reminiscences about the highs and lows of this Unexpected Journey with a Fellowship of Fans.<\/p>\n

You can read the full program for HobbitCon here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hope you can join us at the panels – and of course come by our table to say hello! We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone there – and of course we’ll report back with photos so everyone can share the fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
