A Thorin’s Map Parchment Art Print
Every great adventure needs a treasure map and in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the map was created by Thror, grandfather of Thorin Oakenshield. It contains not only the lay of the land, but also detailed instructions. Some clear as day, some concealed. Designed and drawn by Daniel Reeve of the 3 Foot 7 art department who created the original prop for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Congratulations Graham!
For those of you that entered and didn’t win, don’t be discouraged…we have more prizes to give away during our Hobbit Movie Day event on December 13th! Go to our details page here!








This excites me! Thanks Steve, WETA, and MyMiddleEarth Network! I already had the map, and now the Key.
Hiring: Expert Treasure Hunter, of a usual sort in the trade, who wants excitement and reasonable reward!
Thank you all sooo much. Can’t wait to get Thorin home and show him off. My fellow geeks will be so jealous.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Did the other winners ever receive their prizes? I still have not received my key. /pouts
Let me see what I can do about that!
