The Hobbit Motion Picture Trilogy Location Guide: Hobbiton, the Lonely Mountain and Beyond

LOTR fans want to know everything about Middle Earth in New Zealand. This book adds to our knowledge base in a book that is useful and a lovely keepsake.

This is a beautiful book. The pictures show how the movie The Hobbit was produced. Meaning, the majority of the pictures reveal how the cameras, sound equipment, and videographers are positioned around multiple scenes in the movie. Still, it is fascinating to see where and how the many scenes were filmed.

This is a nice book reviewing the locations used for filming the Hobbit films. It's great if you're planning a trip to New Zealand and want to do a bit of pre trip planning. I imagine they have a lot of guides/tours/maps that would accomplish much the same thing as this book without having to pack the book. I enjoyed the book thoroughly even though I'm not sure I'll ever make it to NZ.

Love it!

Overall it is a good overview of the locations with lots of great information on the towns and sights around where the movies were filmed. I traveled around New Zealand using Ian Brodie's The Lord of the Rings Location Guidebook, so it is great for doing touristy stuff. Unfortunately it does not include any locations from the final film of the trilogy so the name is not entirely correct.

I like it. Stunning images of New Zealand, info on why and what was shot on these amazing locations. This book pretty much is what you'd expect when you're interested in buying such a book. Beorn's house and the scenes around it were apparently set in a stunning area of the South Island called Paradise , to name but one example I encountered early in the book.

Helped make the locations real and tangible for my students who are visual learners. Reading the places from the story is one thing, to see it is a whole other. The kids loved it.

This book is beautifully presented. If you did not buy the first book in regards to The Lord of the rings location guide you would not be disappointed but unfortunately I did and this book was lacking a great deal of depth for the traveller. If it is your first visit to NZ then you might like the comparisons Ian Brodie made between potential visiting sites and their resemblance to the hobbit scenery but to the true die hard hobbit fan you are truly wanting to visit actual site locations. Disappointed. Xx

Ich wünsche mir das diese Art von Büchern auch endlich ich deutsch erhältlich sind. Selbst wenn es nur limitierte Ausgaben wären. Es gibt bestimmt genug Kunden die dann diese Bücher kaufen. Ansonsten Top Buch.

Pictorially beautiful and inviting. Would have appreciated more specific information of how to reach these specific areas, more maps would have given quick and easy to follow directions.
