After eight months in Wellington filming The Hobbit, Stephen Fry is heading home.
Fry arrived in Wellington in August last year to film his part as Master of Laketown in Sir Peter Jackson's The Hobbit.
''Phew! Got all emotional after shooting my final scene on The Hobbit. Preparing for home over the weekend,'' he posted on Twitter yesterday.
In his time in Wellington, Fry has been not only one of the biggest stars to feature in the two-part movie but also one of the most visible.
When the emperor penguin Happy Feet visited Wellington, Fry made a visit to see the bird. He shared a photograph of his encounter on his Twitter page, which is followed by 4.1 million people.
He also made a big splash when he criticised New Zealand's slow broadband speeds.
Last month he joined an early morning queue in Manners St to get one of the new iPads, and earlier in his stay was spotted grocery shopping at Chaffers New World, attended New Zealand International Arts Festival shows, and even had a Wellington beer named in his honour.
He attended the World of WearableArt Awards, declared rugby the most exciting game in the world, and took part in Movember.
