For some J.R.R. Tolkien fans, the release of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" in movie theaters this week is like a family reunion. This 2011 gathering of fans, called "A Party Long Expected," takes place every few years at the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. A smaller group plans to meet there to see "The Hobbit" opening weekend, according to CNN iReporter Kelly Gable. (CNN) -- For Jo Sharpton, it started so early that she can't quite recall how long ago it was. She does have a specific memory of enjoying the works of J.R.R. Tolkien at age 7. "I remember that my sister and I saw the Rankin-Bass animated version of 'The Hobbit,' and then had the special deluxe Double LP Edition," she said.

| 0 | "I made it a point to learn how to sew costumes due to how gorgeous the costume design was in this film," she said. "I made a costume of Arwen's that was five sizes too big, made from the completely wrong fabrics, and by all accounts was horrible! But I loved it. I was so proud that I did hand-beading on the sleeves and I had grown my hair out to an elven length. And I had elf ears!" |

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
