Martin Freeman

Reluctant hobbit hero Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) faces giant spiders and other perils in Mirkwood Forest. "I don't think I'm particularly hobbit-y," says Freeman. "But I do like comfort and I'm quite private, so in those ways, maybe I am."
比尔博·巴金斯（马丁·弗瑞曼 饰）被迫成为霍比特人英雄，在幽暗密林中，他要面对巨大的蜘蛛怪和其他种种险情。“我并不觉得我特别‘霍比特人’”，弗瑞曼说，“但是我的确享受舒适，我也喜欢独处，所以那样看来，也许我具有“霍比特人”的特质。”

Ian McKellen

 The wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) journeys to Hobbiton to help recruit Bilbo on a dangerous quest. "Gandalf is still the same guy [he was in the Lord of the Rings trilogy]," says McKellen. "He's still got the same sense of humor and sense of urgency and concern - all those things that make him interesting."
巫师甘道夫（伊安·麦克莱恩 饰）前往霍比顿，帮忙劝服比尔博加入冒险。“甘道夫仍然是同一个人（他也出现在《指环王》三部曲中），”麦克莱恩说，“他依旧幽默，依旧具有危机感，依旧关心他人——所有这些都使他变得有趣。”

dwarves

Dwarves Fili (Dean O'Gorman, far left), Kili (Aidan Turner), Dori (Mark Hadlow), and Nori (Jed Brophy) trek through mountainous terrain in Middle-Earth. "This movie has been a great opportunity for all of us to get fit," says Hadlow.
矮人：菲利（迪恩·奥戈尔曼 饰，左一）、奇利（艾丹·特纳）、多利（马克·哈德洛）、诺利（杰德·布罗菲）一行人跋涉在中土世界的山峦间。“这部电影给我们提供了减肥的大好机会。”哈德洛说。

Cate Blanchett

凯特·布兰切特饰演的精灵女王凯兰崔尔是《指环王》中角色但未出现在《霍比特人》小说里，此次，她被改编进《霍比特人》的电影里。导演彼得·杰克逊对托尔金纯粹主义者保证：“电影一定会合情合理。”

Andy Serkis

Andy Serkis, who returns as Gollum, found it relatively easy to slip back into the role nearly a decade after the Rings trilogy. "He's never really been that far away from me," Serkis says. "He's always been kind of lurking under my skin."
安迪·瑟金斯以咕噜姆的身份回归影片中。尽管《指环王》三部曲已结束拍摄将近十年，他发现进入角色其实挺容易的。“他从来不曾真正远离我。”瑟金斯说，“他总是或多或少潜藏在我的外壳之下。”
