Last night, something magical happened. London Town was filled with Orcs, Elves and strange badger-people - and no-one blinked an eyelid.
Why? Because it was the premiere of the final Hobbit film, The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies, and some fans were so excited they'd camped out for FOUR NIGHTS to get the best spot.
Attending the glitzy red carpet event were the film's Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and Orlando Bloom, along with Evangeline Lilly, Stephen Fry and Sir Ian McKellen. And we even managed to nab a few of them for a quick chat!*
Now see the Hobbit characters before and after their makeovers
