The Hobbit has been translated into many languages, including Dutch. And people who have just discovered it on social media have said it might possibly be "the best cover art the book has ever had".

For its big home video debut, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on Blu-ray 3D and Blu-ray combo pack with UltraViolet will be presented in 2.4:1 1080p video and 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio.
