Radagast looks perfect. Good find. The dimensions of some of those pictures look awfully trailer sized if you ask me... hmmm.

I must admit, for all my malcontent regarding certain changes and potential alterations, these photos really thrill me

ESPECIALLY the ones with The Dwarves in the pantry and with them gathered in the candlelight. Those scenes look Just Right to me.

made me very skeptical of his look but this first *clear* picture really shocked me in a pleasant way :D cant wait to see him on screen
"'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'
Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face.
'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand. What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.''

Gollum looks great. Incredibly real looking. These are probably from the trailer. Awesome! I like Radagast's hat. It differentiates him more from Gandalf/Saruman.

this Gollum looks to be another evolution in visual effects.
He.is.photo.real.

Does Gollum have some sort of markings on his fingers? Did he do a little doodling while he was bored?

Gollum has more of a peachy tint to his skin... makes him look younger, more hobbit-like.
Radagast looks NOTHING like the photo shown before. Was it a fake? Either way... incredible. Reminds me a bit of Geoffrey Rush in Pirates of the Caribbean.
The Grey Pilgrim, they once called me. Three hundred lives of men I walked this earth, and now I have no time...
