Peter Jackson may have posted this handsome new Hobbit poster on Facebook without comment, but artist John Howe pondered, “Is there a special word to designate a group of dwarves? Somehow ‘troupe’ or ‘company’ seems too mundane. A density of dwarves, perhaps? :)” Whatever you want to call it, we’re glad to have these fellows around! 
How does this poster compare to the recently released Bilbo poster? And which dwarf in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey do you think will be your favorite?

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.
