More new Hobbit film related images

[huinare]

Evidently there's some kind of children's workbook out which has some quite lovely images within.  The saints of the interweb have seen to it that these are made available to us all.

Images include a character we have never seen (Thranduil) and a character we have seen but not really in this context before (Saruman).

Thranduil likes to party.

[huinare]

Oh yeah, I was going to mention that phrase, it amused me quite a lot. Especially because he doesn't really look like much of a partier.

[bunn]

I'm not sure about Thranduil's eyebrows in that top left pic, he looks like his nose is being attacked by a pair of caterpillars!

I think the antlers may be supposed to be reminiscent of Herne the hunter, though there are quite a lot of horned gods and mythical figures kicking about. I agree it's a nice concept for a crown!

[huinare]

Cool, I don't recall if I'd heard of Herne before.

Yeah, I'm a bit confused by the eyebrows in said pic...Maybe the Elvenking looks so severe because he has to attack the caterpillars with a razor or tweezers each morning.

*screams and flails at Thranduil

[huinare]

Haha, true, I hadn't really thought about it that way until that image came on the scene but you've got a point. I just can't get past his anti-Dwarf tendencies.

I am adding Thranduil's coat to the list of Fictional Coats I Shall Steal, right after Bilbo Baggins' coat.

I actually rather like Galadriel because she usually looks dignified to me, but that dress makes her look a bit tra-la-la-lally. XD

GALADRIEL (straight-faced): Tra-la-la-lally. Ha ha.
SARUMAN: Can I leave now?

I'm going to be captioning that picture forever..

That may be the dude! I guess there are quite a few of them.

But this image that the Cernunnos wiki article includes makes me quite like your suggestion. Dude totally looks like he's got a bong there.

[huinare]

ETA - I meant 'hookah' in the comment about the Cernunnos image, not 'bong.' Word usage fail. D= In any case, Thranduil and his folk could probably get good mileage out of either device.

True that he doesn't look traditionally sylvan. It strikes me that I didn't have that thought because I instinctively associated his look with something a bit like this except a bit colder/further along toward winter.

I don't follow elves, so someone who knows something can enlighten me...

Yes, this. A cursory investigation into Thranduil says that he lived in Doriath (whose king essentially perished for love of particular bling) during the First Age, but I don't understand all the Elven lineages and cultures enough to fully appreciate the implications of that.

Or tense at the very least.
Or, in my fangirlish case, like an awesome icon op.
