Cast and Crew of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

In the enchanting world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, we are introduced to a cast of captivating characters in "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey". The film features the iconic Sir Ian McKellen as the wise and powerful wizard, Gandalf the Grey. He is accompanied by the delightful Martin Freeman, who portrays the reluctant hero, Bilbo Baggins. This unlikely duo is joined by a band of thirteen dwarves, each with their own unique personality and charm, as they embark on a perilous journey.

The story unfolds as Bilbo Baggins, a peace-loving hobbit, is thrust into an unexpected adventure. Content with his quiet life in the Shire, Bilbo's world is turned upside down when Gandalf the Grey arrives with a company of dwarves. Led by the brave and determined Thorin Oakenshield, the dwarves are on a mission to reclaim their lost kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon, Smaug. Despite his initial reluctance, Bilbo is persuaded to join them, marking the beginning of an unforgettable journey.

As they journey through treacherous lands, Bilbo and the dwarves encounter various challenges and foes. From the dangerous Goblin King to the mysterious Necromancer, the group must rely on their wits and courage to overcome each obstacle. Along the way, Bilbo discovers an inner strength he never knew he possessed, and his role in the quest becomes increasingly vital. As the group draws closer to their destination, the stakes grow higher, and the true test of their resolve awaits them in the form of the fearsome dragon, Smaug.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is part of the The Hobbit Collection.
