TheOneRing.net Exclusive: 'Hobbit' casting 1 female role

It is confirmed, casting is under way on the Hobbit and that is news enough.
There have been rumors but now we have confirmation from a source that told
us other details about casting as well. In addition to all of that, we have
this juicy bombshell: They are casting one female role!

It seems likely that casting at this early stage would be for a featured
role, not an insignificant bit part and we don't have further details so
while we can speculate plenty - the 'Hobbit' community will do so in our
chat room and on our message boards - that is all that is known. Is it for a
voice actor which will be needed for creatures? Is there a female dwarf
among Bilbo's companions? (After all, Tolkien never said explicitly that all
were male!)
