Giving Voice: Interpreting texts for children. discussion

Hi guys, this is a thread open for everyone in which we can post news, events or anecdotes regarding The Hobbit.

HOBBIT FILM:

As most of you already know, Peter Jackson made a wonderful series of films depicting Tolkien's Lord of The Rings.

Now he's busy with a two-part film featuring the original Hobbit story.

Release dates for the films :
An Unexpected Journey: 14 December 2012
There and Back Again : 13 December 2013

Here is the film's official blog, if you're interested at taking a peek at the latest news and gossip surrounding the film, plus other Hobbitty news. http://www.thehobbitblog.com/

Hey, nice group, Trav!

This made me remember I saw a site with nice Hobbit illustrations the other day.

Apparently these appeared in a centenary edition of The Hobbit. I wonder if we're allowed to post any of those images on here? Would copyright on them forbid it, do you think?

My kids are very excited that their favourite Holmes and Watson, from the new BBC shows, are also Smaug and Bilbo respectively.
