\"HobbitCon<\/a>Last weekend was the first really big Hobbit convention after the release of the film, and the perfect time for cosplayers to really show their quality. Ring*con normally holds a big convention in the Fall every year, but they decided to host a special HobbitCon<\/a>\u00a0in the Spring and invited the cast to join them, and join them they did. 9 major cast members from The Hobbit showed up in Germany to hang with the fans, and here is a little review from the event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hi there,<\/em><\/p>\n

sorry for the delay!<\/em><\/p>\n

i hope the photos are okay for you. There are Heike = Fili, Sascha = Kili, Rebecca = Nori and Dirk = Bofur. (Fili, Kili and Nori took part in the audience choice award.) We’re part of a LOTR\/hobbit reenactment group and have been working on our costumes quite a long time. The Nori and Bofur costumes were finished just in time for HobbitCon.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"HobbitCon<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, what can I tell you? We’re visiting Ring*Con for years, but HobbitCon (special from Ring*Con) was the best convention I’ve ever seen. There were 9 actors (Jed Brophy\/Nori, Dean O’Gorman\/Fili, Mark Hadlow\/Dori, Adam Brown\/Nori, John Callen\/Oin, Stephen Hunter\/Bombur, Graham McTavish\/Dwalin, Peter Hambleton\/Gloin, Sylvester McCoy\/Radagast) + Daniel Falconer and Paul Tobin from Weta… and they were all so nice and funny as well. One of the funniest moments was the Q&A session of Sylvester McCoy, who ran through the audience all time while answering questions (followed by the people, who had those questions) and doing hilarous things. [editor’s note: Sylvester did this at Gallifrey as well, he’s always been very fan friendly]<\/strong>. Graham McTavish brought one of his Dwalin prosthetic arms to his Q&A sessions and two fans were allowed to come on stage and put it on. And there is Jed Brophy… running, dancing, jumping all the time… doing stunts, never standing still. \ud83d\ude42 One of the most touching moments was the dwarf-actors singing the song of the Misty Mountains at the end of the closing ceremonies. Entering the audience choice award was a totally new experience for us, because we never tried to before and we never expected such an amazing feedback.<\/em><\/p>\n
