The Hobbit – Meet Gloin and Oin!

Two more of Tolkien’s – by way of Peter Jackson – dwarves have been revealed! We now, via Yahoo Movies, have a look at Gloin and Oin to go along with the previous release of an image depicting the trio of Nori, Ori and Dori. To fans of The Lord of the Rings one of the two, Gloin, may be most significant, being the father of Gimli from the trilogy. Gloin and Oin are brothers and are portrayed by Peter Hambleton and John Callen respectively. Last month also brought us looks of a younger Bilbo (played by Martin Freeman) and Ian Mckellan, who is back as the wizard Gandalf.
