“At last, in the year when Eärendil was seven years old, Morgoth was ready, and he loosed upon Gondolin his Balrogs, and his Orcs, and his wolves; and with them came dragons of the brood of Glaurung, and they were become now many and terrible. The host of Morgoth came over the northern hills where the height was greatest and the watch least vigilant, and it came at night upon a time of festival, when all the people of Gondolin were upon the walls to await the rising sun, and sing their songs at its uplifting; for the morrow was the great feast that they named the Gates of Summer.”
On this day in 1961 Graham James MacTavish was born. He portrayed the character of Dwalin in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy. He was one of the Dwarves that traveled with Bilbo, Gandalf and Thorin on the quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from Smaug. Happy birthday!
