USA Today has released six new photos from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Included are new shots of Bilbo, Gandalf, and Gollum, as well as serious dwarves and running dwarves. But the photo everyone is talking about is this one of the wizard Radagast the Brown.

“He’s not at all like Gandalf,” said Hobbit screenwriter and co-producer Philippa Boyens. “There’s a power and danger and sharpness and wits and cunning even about Gandalf that you sense immediately, whereas Radagast is much quieter and gentler. You could mistakenly think he’s not even a wizard or that he might not have any powers of his own, and then you discover that he does.”
Make sure to check out all of the new photos at USA Today and let us know what you think!

Lily’s first experience with Tolkien was when the eccentric Mrs. H performed all of the characters from The Hobbit in her seventh grade class. In high school, she felt obliged to decline a second date with a boy who said he had no interest in reading The Lord of the Rings. In college, she unwisely decided to reread her beloved copy of The Hobbit during finals week, with only semi-disastrous results.
When not writing for Middle-earth News, Lily tries not to unnerve her coworkers and family with her extreme geekery, but somehow, Star Wars, Star Trek, Sherlock, Merlin, Doctor Who, The Princess Bride, Back to the Future, superheroes, Disney movies, and of course, Tolkien, seem to have relevance in EVERY conversation.
