New Zealand Adventures: The Hobbit World Premiere

Wellington has been going really crazy for the Hobbit over the past few weeks - today it went really crazy! It was the World Premiere of The Hobbit film and I was lucky enough to get a great place on the red carpet to see the stars, get some great photos and even some autographs! Five and a half hours standing in the sun was well worth it!

It was such a hot day! The sun was really beating it down. I went down at 1:30pm and was lucky to get a great spot near the start of the 500m long red carpet! It was really good and got to see the stars arriving also there were nice people beside be, especially a New Zealand lady and her son - who got all the stres to come over! :D (Only not nice person was a man who pushed me out of the way and stood infront of me with his kid! SO RUDE!)

Air New Zealand air stewards were dressed up with capes and ears giving out cards with Air New Zealand's special Hobbit decorated 777 plane on it. Hats were also given out but I didn't get one :(

Hobbits dressed up walked along the red carpet. They were really great and even had the hairy feet!!!! They were really small too!

People in the building opposite made a banner saying "Marry me Gandalf once its legal."

Director Peter Jackson

Director Peter Jackson was the first to arrive on the red carpet. He seemed really friendly and spent a long time signing autographs. He was wearing dirty hiking boots on the red carpet with his suit!

Martin Freeman

Martin Freeman didn't seem so friendly at all....

James Nesbitt

James Nesbitt turned up and strolled right past everyone! He was the one person I really wanted to get an autograph from since he is from where I'm from! Really disappointed Jimmy!
