MUST SEE: HOBBIT Characters Photo #5 - Balin And Dwalin

Winding up this week's batting order for THE HOBBIT character posters we have Balin (played by Ken Stott) and Dwalin (Graham McTavish) with some serious countenances - AND sporting magnificent beards. Balin in particular is basking in splendidness with his curled toe boots!

Here's the photo description from TIME:
Dwarf Lords in their own right, Balin and Dwalin are close relatives of Thorin. Beyond this, these brothers are two of his most loyal and trusted friends. An old warrior, Balin has lived through hard times and fought many battles, yet he harbors doubts about the wisdom of the Quest to retake the Lonely Mountain. Dwalin has no such forebodings – his belief in Thorin’s leadership is unshakeable. A powerful and bruising fighter, with a natural tendency to distrust anyone who is not a Dwarf, particularly anyone who might be an Elf, Dwalin is not someone to cross lightly.

We need to see some Thorin! Bring on the next round!! :-) Lately I've taken up LOTRO for some leisure fun and I am impressed by what they give you for free these days...
