Encontrando Hobbiton!
En 1998, el equipo encargado de la localización de Sir Peter Jackson estaba buscando las icónicas colinas y exuberantes pastos verdes de Hobbiton™. Una búsqueda aérea los llevó a la granja Alexander, una impresionante granja de ovejas de 506 hectáreas en el corazón de Waikato.
En una parte particular de la granja, un magnífico pino se alzaba sobre un lago cercano, adyacente a una colina ascendente. Bag End ahora se encuentra en lo alto de esa colina, con vista al Árbol de la Fiesta, como se conocería más tarde a ese pino. Las áreas circundantes estaban intactas; No hay líneas eléctricas, ni edificios ni carreteras a la vista. Esto significaba que Sir Peter Jackson podía dejar atrás el siglo XX y sumergirse completamente en el mundo de fantasía de la Tierra Media™.
En marzo de 1999, el equipo comenzó hacer realidad las ideas de Hobbiton; el Ejército de Nueva Zelanda proporcionó ayuda, y pronto se dispersaron 39 Hobbit Holes™ temporales en la parcela de 5 hectáreas utilizada para el set. El secreto era clave, y la compañía de producción implementó estrictas medidas de seguridad durante la construcción y el rodaje. El rodaje comenzó en diciembre de 1999, y tardó alrededor de tres meses en obtener una envoltura de The Shire.
Después de un intento inicial de demolición, quedaron 17 fachadas de contrachapado. Estas servirían como catalizador que impulsó a Hobbiton hacia el ojo público, con visitas guiadas a partir del 2002.
En 2009, Sir Peter Jackson volvió a filmar la trilogía de El Hobbit, y dejó atrás el hermoso set de películas que hay actualmente; 44 agujeros de Hobbit reconstruidos permanentemente, con el mismo detalle fantástico que se ve en las películas. En 2012, la Taberna Green Dragon™ se inauguró como el final del viaje. Los visitantes ahora terminan su experiencia en el set de películas Hobbiton con una refrescante bebida de la gama Hobbit™ Southfarthing™.
