I think (or hope) that these photos have been staged a little to stir up the fans and cause controversy, for example the wind machine being used on Kili...
A few of the other dwarves look like they contain little jokes, Bombur's ladle almost looks like it has been photoshoped in, not to mention the axe embeded into Bifur's forehead... They are having a little fun with us.
So, I feel Kili might look a little better in the films then he does in the photos, I also get the impression that his beard is slightly thicker then what the photo suggest, these quite a bit of shade and clothing in the way. I hope I am right...
I really hope these are being hammed up. Might not watch this movie if these are all 100% real. An anvil stuck in a dwarf's head?

It's a little extreme?
Oin and Gloin are the only Dwarves that are how they I imagined them. I never imagined any of the others like they appear ... especially Fili and Kili. But I am not saying I don't like them. I think they have done a fantastic job in distinguishing all 13, giving them all their own look, characteristics etc.
With regards to Bifur, it wasn't until someone pointed out that it was something actually stuck in his head that I realised. I had always assumed it was some sort of braided bit of hair with metal (like Nori/Ori etc). It does seem strange that they have gone for that. Surely nobody (even a Dwarf) would be able to survive (and carry on living) with something impaled into the head? Of course, we don't yet really know what it is. It could be an injury Bifur picks up during the Battle of the Five Armies (unlikely). It could be a bit of braded hair above a wound (again unlikely). I don't think it's something as big as an anvil though. To me it looks like a small axe head where the handle has been cut to the top. To me, I'm not too bothered. As long as it doesn't affect the character, and the is a sensible reason why he has it then I'm not going to complain.
I'm already having problems remembering who is who so I need as many differences as possible will help me!!

I would quite like it if the Necromancer was like an "invisible" antagonist. Kind of like, lurking in the shadows, fading in and out, not quite knowing if he is there or not, and never actually seeing or hearing him.

And this is the same actor - Ricahrd Armitage - who played the hydra agent and assassin in Captain America last year. In real life he looks a little like Hugh Jackman.
