             DORI (Mark Hadlow). A distant relative of Thorin Oakenshield, Dori is the eldest amongst his brothers Ori and Nori. Eternally pessimistic, with a natural tendency to expect the worst, Dori is nonetheless quite prepared to risk life and limb in order to get the job done.

             NORI (Jed Brophy). Perhaps the most elusive member of The Company of Thorin Oakenshield, Nori is often in trouble with the dwarvish authorities. Nobody ever quite knows what the quick-witted and wily Nori is up to, except that it’s guaranteed to be dodgy and quite probably illegal. 

             ORI (Adam Brown). Younger brother to Nori and Dori, Ori is a talented artist, and can often be found drawing and writing in his journal. Polite and well-bred, he is used to being bossed around by his older brother Dori and is usually biddable, although occasionally his can surprise his fellow companions with his courage and determination.

                          A production of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM), “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” will be released in the Philippines by Warner Bros. Pictures on December 13, 2012.

             FILI (Dean O’Gorman) was born into the royal line of Durin and raised under the stern guardianship of his uncle, Thorin Oakenshield. A skilled fighter, Fili sets off on the adventure ahead with little idea of the challenges and dangers that lie before him.

             BOFUR (James Nesbitt). Endearing and likeable, Bofur has a disastrous tendency to state the obvious and blurt out things without thinking. With a love of music and a fine singing voice, Bofur delights in good food and good company and is unfailingly optimistic.

             BIFUR (William Kircher). Born in the West, Bifur has the rusting remains of an Orc axe embedded in his forehead, which has rendered him inarticulate and occasionally feisty! He communicates only with grunts and hand gestures.
