WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — For more than a decade, passengers at New Zealand ’s Wellington Airport have boarded flights below the figures of two giant, hovering eagles from the Hobbit films, one bearing a bellowing wizard Gandalf.

Two giant eagle sculptures inspired by “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” have loomed over visitors to Wellington Airport for more than a decade. Now, they will take their final flight and depart the airport on Friday.
