How could it not? Our correspondent writes: <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;the picture of the &#8216;Nazgul&#8217; creature from the Evening Post has caused a bit of controversy. The angle of the photo makes it difficult to make out the shape of the creature, but i went to the Park and got a good look it and it looks more like an Oliphaunt than a Nazgul. <\/p>\n<p>This creature has 4 legs, rough leathery skin, and a platform strapped on its back. This makes me believe that it is an Oliphaunt and not a Nazgul as first thought. The platform on the creature&#8217;s back is quite large and could hold several men. I always imagined the Nazgul-steed carried one passenger only, so therefore would only need a single saddle.<\/p>\n<p>A very tall actor in armour was spotted on set. Could this be the Witch King? If so, then maybe the Nazgul will be a CGI creature.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for that! Meanwhile the Evening Post has revised its opinion too, as you can see over at <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/inl\/index\/0,1008,491930a2202,FF.html\">Stuff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well,the big squashed thing at Queen Elizabeth Park has stirred up some rumours.
