none of these are actual shots from the film.

This is not a scene from the film!!! Actually. Elijah as Frodo is eating off a styrofoam plate. Seems ol Hairy Reems, scanned in some pics at higher res and better quality and man. “It’s to help the Harfoots find a home so that they don’t have to keep looking over their shoulder and moving and and always at the risk of a lack of food or safety.Hey everyone. “It was really important to make sure that her interest in the unknown wasn’t just out of selfish interest,” Kavenaugh said. It’s an eagerness, but it’s also a desire to find stability for her people. Nori, however, has a curiosity about the world outside her enclave that is satiated at the end of the first episode when a mysterious man falls from the sky. They choose to stay hidden rather than cross paths with outsiders. The Harfoots are by nature an always moving tribe, but they are also, like the Hobbits that would come later, against conflict. “That also added to the depth of the character as a whole and as a whole community,” Richards added. If you look closely you can also see that Harfoots have appleseeds on their clothing, each representing a Harfoot who has perished in a previous migration. “Every Harfoot has a skirt that splits in two and has this leaf that can go over your head as if to become like a mothball or a tree,” Richards said. Their outfits are constructed so as to make them efficient at camouflaging themselves. The costumes, designed by Kate Hawley, are packed with detail that reveal how the Harfoots live.

(On set they would wear foot prosthetics that she described as “big flippers.”) “And also meerkats as well, and how they sort of pop their heads out and have quick sharp movements.” The two women would call each other up and speak in the Harfoot dialect, and practice walking like Harfoots in what Kavenaugh described as “monster slippers.” “We’d get such interesting looks from people,” she said. “One of them that really stuck with me was to walk like a 5-year-old child,” Richards said. They worked with a movement coach that would give them reference points for how these beings would operate in the world. Kavenaugh and Richards had no idea who they were even playing when they were cast in the series, but once on the ground in New Zealand went into what was essentially Harfoot training camp. When the men are gone, they rise out of the ground. In the pilot, they are introduced hiding from two human travelers. Like the Hobbits fans recognize, the Harfoots are also partial to a hole, but theirs are more makeshift and less permanent than the recognizable round door homes where the likes of Bilbo lived. So we would do the same thing.” They focused their studies on nomadic people from across the world and throughout history to color the Harfoots’ traditions. “He was inspired by different mythologies and cultures and peoples really from around the Earth and across history. “Our goal was to always invent in as Tolkienian a fashion as possible,” he said. In his prologue, “Concerning Hobbits,” Tolkien wrote that Hobbits were initially divided into “three different breeds,” the “Harfoots, Stoors, and Fallohides.” The Harfoots, he wrote, were “browner of skin, smaller, and shorter, and they were beardless and bootless their hands and feet were neat and nimble and they preferred highlands and hillsides.” Working from that Payne explained they then fleshed out this culture as they thought Tolkien might have.
