Here's Gloin & Oin From The Hobbit
Fri, July 8, 2011 
Yesterday, Facebook got Dori, Nori and Ori and today Yahoo! Movies has two more prominent dwarves in The Hobbit: Gloin and Oin, played by Peter Hambleton and John Callen. Remember, Gloid (on the right) is the father of Gimli from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Notice the resemblance?
Just as yesterday, this first look also features an accompanying character description:
"Distant cousins of Thorin Oakenshield, these two doughty Northern Dwarves join the Company out of a sense of loyalty to their kin, and also because they have a substantial sum of money invested in the venture. Along with Bombur, Gloin is the only other married Dwarf in the Company (there being a shortage of female dwarves in general). His wife is an acclaimed beauty with a particularly fine beard. Gloin is the proud father of a young son, Gimli, who will go on to become part of the famous Fellowship of the Ring."
By simple process of elimination, we assume another crop of new characters will be introduced by either tomorrow or Sunday.
