The Hobbit Fan Contest winners have been lucky enough spending an entire week in New Zealand, aka Middle-earth, experiencing several activities, like bungee jumping and a tour of the Weta Cave, but also to watch both The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies trailer and movie before the rest of the world.
New Zealand 100% Pure has shared a summary video series for each day the winners enjoyed in New Zealand, using a video-blog method already used by Peter Jackson during The Hobbit production.
So, grab a cup of tea and enjoy yourself this virtual journey in Middle-earth!
