Evidently this had to be removed from its original source (I know who you are!) but at least as of present it's still in the above article.


So far I've been pretty pleased with what I've seen/heard of Sylvester McCoy, Radagast's invovlement in the story, and his dear house that was shown briefly in Jackson's last videoblog (#8 I think).  Apparently there are some more spoilery descriptions of him and a few other characters floating about somewhere, which I've opted not to visit.

I'm not sure what to make of this picture.  This might have no bearing on the character's appearance as such in the film, but the way he's rendered here reminds me of some Mediaeval saint.  Which I kind of like.

I do not like his hat.  WTH, Radagast?  Have you been hanging out with Bofur?  Then again, I guess you could interpret those thingummies as winglike, which is appropriate for someone whose pre-Istar name was Aiwendil. 


Also: "Radaghast." Shame, examiner.com, shame.

Interesting, although I totally agree with you about the hat. What's up with that! LOL

Your flying book icon in this context amuses me, because I was beginning to picture Radagast using that hat to fly about...and to drop down by the dozens to defeat a giant inflatable Sauron a la 2012 Olymics opening ceremony.

Oh my...the mind movie you just gave to me :-)
