A Rydges Hotel Wellington
75 Featherston Street
Rydges Wellington: where
‘FaceTime’ isn’t an app on your
phone… this multi-award winning
hotel stands out from the crowd.
As does the bustling steakhouse
‘Portlander’ on the ground floor
– be sure to experience the first
class hospitality on offer here.
THORIN
COSTUME TRAIL
A proud and noble Dwarf of resolute character and stern
bearing, Thorin was the grandson of Thror of the line of
Durin and heir to lost throne of Erebor. Throughout the
long, hard decades of his exile, Thorin’s mind ever dwelled
upon the thought of some day retaking the mountain and
restoring his people to their erstwhile splendour.
C Ibis Hotel 153 Featherston Street
Located in the heart of the city near the bustle of Lambton
Quay and a three minute walk from the waterfront, with easy
access to Parliament, Westpac Stadium and Te Papa.
Gloin the Dwarf joins the Company of Thorin Oakenshield
as both participant and investor. A stalwart retainer and
traditionalist, Gloin and his brother Oin are cousins to
Thorin, the King in Exile, and hold his quest to reclaim
the Lonely Mountain from the Dragon Smaug as of the
greatest import for the future of their people.
Take time for a coffee or cocktail
in The Lobby Lounge or indulge in
Chameleon Restaurant for lunch
or dinner in Wellington’s only
international 5 Star hotel.
Wandering Middle-earth’s winding
paths is the travelling conjurer Gandalf, known by many
names to many peoples in many lands, though few could
guess the true extent of his powers or purpose. His
fireworks may delight many a hobbit youngster, but the
Grey Wizard is no mere magician or trickster. Wellington’s premier department
store since 1863.
A quiet life in the sleepy gardens
of The Shire was all Bilbo Baggins ever knew that he
wanted, but when his home is invaded by thirteen
rowdy Dwarves and the Wizard Gandalf, the gentleman
hobbit finds himself enlisted as a burglar on a perilous
quest across Middle-earth’s Wilderland to reclaim
treasure from a dragon. 147 The Terrace
Wellington’s iconic inner-city hotel featuring two restaurants
& bars. The hotel is only two minutes from the Cable Car and
offers direct lift access to Lambton Quay shopping district.
DWALIN
Tall for a Dwarf and a warrior of renown among his kind,
Dwalin the Dwarf has fought at Thorin Oakenshield’s
side many times and the two spar regularly to hone each
other’s skills.

TRAIL,
from the heart of
A visual feast for art enthusiasts.
The Museum Art Hotel welcomes
guests and visitors to enjoy the
hotel’s extensive art collection.
While Gandalf the Grey and
Saruman the White busy
themselves with the affairs of Elves, Men and the speaking
peoples of Middle-earth, the smaller folk of fur and
feathers are the concern of the Brown Wizard, Radagast.
L Copthorne Oriental Bay 100 Oriental Bay
This hotel offers spectacular views
over Wellington harbour and is
only two minutes’ walk to vibrant
Courtenay Place entertainment
and dining precinct and many local
theatres.
BARD
A humble ferryman and father to three children, Bard’s
grim demeanour and modest lifestyle hide a noble
heritage, for Bard is descended in direct line from Girion
Lord of Dale that was in the time before the Dragon’s
coming, generations past.
A veteran of the Orc War, Bifur the Dwarf bears the scars
of battle, including the remnants of an enemy axe lodged
in his skull. Rendered incapable of speaking the common
tongue by the injury, Bifur barks only gruff utterances in
Khuzdul, the secret language of the Dwarves, and is prone
to acting on sudden random compulsions.
Brother of Bofur and cousin to Bifur, Bombur rounds out
the Company of Thorin as the Quest’s travelling cook.
Broad even for a Dwarf, who as a people tend to be
stocky and wide of belly, Bombur has a passion for the
preparation and consumption of food.
Te Papa Tongarewa
55 Cable Street
When Balin the Dwarf spoke in the great halls of Erebor,
the wise would listen. The council of Fundin’s eldest
son was much revered among the noble Dwarves of the
Lonely Mountain and beyond, for he was clear-­sighted,
discerning and erudite.
The CQ complex is located on Cuba Street, renowned for
its restaurants, art, buskers, bucket fountain and eclectic
shopping.
One of the oldest Dwarves in the Company of Thorin, Oin
comes from a wealthy family and is cousin to king in exile,
Thorin Oakenshield. A wise and learned Dwarf, Oin is a
seer, prying meaning from portentous events and signs.
It is Oin’s reading of the return of Erebor’s birds to the
Mountain that convinces his brother Gloin to fund the
quest, but it is Oin’s expertise as an apothecary that makes
him one of the most valued members of the Company.
Rongotai
KILI AND KILI (SCALE)
Youngest nephew of Thorin Oakenshield and brother
to Fili, Kili the Dwarf joins the quest for Erebor out of a
belief in his uncle and the righteousness of their cause.
A principled, honest young Dwarf of warm humour and
upright bearing, Kili is unencumbered by the worries and
prejudices born by his elders in the Company of Thorin.
Simple and straightforward in taste and manner, Bofur
the Dwarf binds the Company of Thorin together through
hardship and ill weather with his smile and wit. Brother
to Bombur and cousin to Bifur, Bofur claims no familial
bond to Thorin Oakenshield, but his loyalty is nevertheless
unshakable.
ELF SOLDIER AND ELF LIEUTENANT
Elven armour and chainmaille was inspired
greatly by the Silvan environment in which they
dwelt. Organic forms, leafmaille and soft fabrics in lithe
and dynamic construction allow the soldiers and officers
of Thranduil’s army to make the most of their natural-­born
agility while staying protected from the blades and arrows
of their enemies in the battle of the five armies.

NORI
Younger brother of Dori and elder sibling to Ori, Nori the
Dwarf’s stake in the Quest for Erebor has as much to do with
leaving trouble behind as it does with seeking adventure
ahead. Of all the Dwarves in the Company of Thorin
Oakenshield, he is perhaps the most accustomed to sleeping
under hedges and in caves, having found himself on the
wrong side of the law more than he would likely confess.

O The Roxy Cinema 5 Park Road, Miramar
When you arrive or depart Wellington, the Middle of
Middle-earth airport is alive with creatures to enthral you.
Wielding twin Dwarven swords and bristling with knives,
Fili the Dwarf is a well-­trained, natural fighter, a true royal
heir forged in the fashion of the Longbeard kings he is
destined to succeed: Durin, Thror and Fili’s uncle Thorin
Oakenshield. Yet Fili is a Dwarf Prince without a kingdom.

A Prince of Woodland Realm, Legolas is the son of Thranduil
who rules the twisted wilds of Mirkwood in the north from
his palace beneath the ground. While his loyalty to his father
is absolute, doubts gnaw at Legolas, doubts given voice
by the young Silvan Elf who captain’s the King’s Guard,
Tauriel. Though Legolas is Sindar and his father would never
consent to see him wed to a lower caste of Elf, the Prince
nonetheless watches the spirited and beautiful Tauriel with
a longing that goes beyond courtly friendship or the trust
between fellow soldiers of the Realm.

As the senior brother in his family, Dori feels keenly the
burden of responsibility for his two very different younger
siblings. While the wayward and restless Nori comes and
goes, spending his days in nefarious pursuits that raise Ori’s
hair, the youngest brother Ori dreams of adventure and
glory from the confines of a sheltered life behind Dori’s
skirts. Dori feels it his duty to guide and protect them both,
even if sometimes they protest. But while some might
dismiss Dori’s mothering and dogged pretensions as signals
of a fussy, overly fearful character, to do so would be to
misunderstand him, for Dori is as tough and doughty as
any Dwarf.
ORI
The youngest of three brothers to join the Quest for
Erebor, Ori is gentle of heart but bold of spirit. His youth
has been a sheltered one, spent in quiet lands under the
sometimes smothering protection of his eldest brother,
Dori. Idealistic and restless, Ori yearns for a chance to
test his mettle in battle and to help Thorin Oakenshield
restore the honour and glory of the Dwarves in the east.
Swaddled in soft wool and linen garments and armed
with only a knife, a slingshot and a stout heart, Ori
eagerly takes up Thorin’s cause.

The sculpture of Gollum diving into the stream to catch
sweet juicy fishes is 13 metres long. The installation was
put in place ahead of the world premiere of The Hobbit: An
Unexpected Journey, as part of Wellington’s initiative to
transform itself into the Middle of Middle-earth. In December
of 2013, two Great Eagles soared above the terminal, one
of which carries Gandalf the Grey. Weta Workshop moulded
and cast 1000 feathers for the eagle installations, which
have wingspans of 15 metres. November of 2014 marked
the installation of the third Hobbit-themed installation:

COSTUME LOCATIONS
Smaug the Magnificent, a huge dragon nestled in rocks in the
airport’s check-in area. Smaug features animatronic parts
with a blinking yellow eye that watches travellers as they
go by. The sculpture, which is 75% of the full sized dragon,
was revealed to a crowd of Hobbit fans in New Zealand as
winners of the Hobbit Fan Fellowship contest. Sir Richard
Taylor has described Smaug as “the ultimate creation of
Weta’s imagination”. The installation was unveiled ahead of
the premiere of the final film in the Hobbit Trilogy, The Battle
of the Five Armies.
