Last weekend was HobbitCon and cast and fans alike met up to celebrate The Hobbit at the Maritim Hotel in Bonn, Germany. There were lectures and workshops, cast panels, photographs and signings, and of course, a party. Special guests included Adam Brown, Graham McTavish, Ken Stott, Stephen Hunter, Jed Brophy, Dean O’Gorman, Peter Hambleton, William Kircher, Mark Hadlow, John Callen, Mark Atkin, Royd Tolkien and Richard Taylor.

Our exclusive footage of HobbitCon comes with thanks to our friend Sebastien Sigaut of jaimepaslactu.com. Sebastien’s film of the event includes ten minutes of the dwarf cast panel and an interview with Bernd Greisinger, the president of the Greisinger Museum in Switzerland.

Thanks, once again, to @SebastienSigaut for this film.
