It's going to be a hot one in the old Dale toniiiiight

hey is there such a thing as a young wizard? I know in the LotR series that wizards are not humans but a different race and a long lived one. Though I also recall Gandalf was on the young side by their standards

In Tolkien's cosmology, wizards are the earthbound forms of spirits roughly analogous to angels or minor gods known as the Maiar . The wizards appeared as old men from the first time they incarnated, probably to signify their original purpose of acting as guides and advisers to the earthly races instead of open rulers. While they can technically grow old, practically it occurs so slowly that they are for all purposes immortal save for being killed by an outside force.

Since the wizards all came to Middle-Earth at the same time, any calculation of age would probably be irrelevant.

So... Stephen Colbert is pretty much set to be in the 2nd Hobbit movie... dude is so passionate about LoTR that i'm actually looking forward to see him there, even if it's not a speaking role.

...although i'm really hopping it will be.

Two thoughts on that Smaug design:

That certainly looks like something out of a GDT film, yes.
But also, I can't help but see 1998-American-Godzilla-with-Horns when I look at that face.

Again this is the book that cemented the traditional dragon into public consciousness. I want Smaug to be the most cliche' generic design possible. Because the Hobbit is why those generic images exist.

Television special with behind-the-scenes footage and cast interviews.
