Slim Possibilities...
This is a list of other characters that may be added into the narrative.
Due to the stories expansion, this may include characters from the original Lord of the Rings trilogy that were alive during this era or my own speculative guesses on possible welcome additions!

You were expecting it and so was I; The Hobbit has started production and will hopefully be with us for Christmas 2012 and 2013!
The Hobbit: An Expected Journey
The Hobbit: There and Back Again
At present, most of the principal cast has been decided but there are still minor and made-up roles up for grabs. With loads of speculation and rumours, there will likely be a lot of fuss as to who is genuinely confirmed for this epic duology.
The narrative has been expanded to include more explanation on background events.
- - Gandalf, for example, leaves Thorin's Company on a few ocassions to meet the White Council (the Wisest of the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth) and to coordinate an attack on the Fortress of Dol Guldur where the Necromancer is lurking. With these significant changes to the plot, new characters will be added in, some old and some entirely new!
- - Also, it has been stated, we will experience Bilbo's story as Frodo Baggins (his nephew, and central protagonist from The Lord of the Rings) reads through the Red Book of Westmarch. Also, the older Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm reprising his role from LotR) will be part of these sequences.
My goal with this list is to update it as soon as casting news has been released. Feel free to point me in the direction of new sources of information regrading either of the Hobbit films.
I will be adding character biographies for the more significant characters and eventually pictures once they surface. In the mean time, hold tight!
Thanks guys. Keep in touch.
