Gandalf arrives at Dale to warn Bard and Thranduil of the threat posed by Azog, but Thranduil dismisses him. Bilbo sneaks out of Erebor to hand the Arkenstone over to Thranduil and Bard, so that they can trade it for the gems and gold they were promised and prevent a battle. When Bard and Thranduil's armies gather at the gates of Erebor, offering to trade the Arkenstone for the Elven white gems and the portion of gold promised Laketown survivors, Thorin angrily refuses to believe they have the Arkenstone until Bilbo admits giving it away and chides Thorin for letting greed cloud his judgement.

Tolkien with a film that may be the most purely entertaining of any in the collection. But the central battle is indeed spectacular, and as 'The Age of Orc' approaches, it rounds out this particular story in stirring and emotional fashion.

A false rumour was spread online that David Tennant was considered, but both Tennant and Jackson denied this. Tennant was actually considered for (and offered) the role of Thranduil but had to turn it down when his girlfriend discovered she was pregnant. According to Peter Jackson, . I know you always have. I often think of Bag End. I miss my books, and my armchair, and my garden. See, that's where I belong. That's home. And I came back because.. It was taken from you, but I will help you get that back in any way that I can. Gandalf: Agreed. Jackson: Differences Between Story and Screenplay. The Deviations mentioned below have already inspired a Provisional Purist Mod. However, his appearance is purely a cameo as the set- up for the movie, in that it's the Red Book of Westmarch being written and read by Bilbo, shortly before the start of The Fellowship of the Ring. This did not happen in the book. This was done by Bilbo in the film. In the film, Gandalf comes upon it and gives it to Bilbo. In contrast, Radagast did not appear in the book at all, and there is only one mention of him. In contrast, Tolkien never wrote of any such incident. In the film, the dwarves realize this just as they fall into the hole. In contrast, in the Tolkien literature Azog was beheaded by Thorin's cousin D. The events of leading to and included in the battle are also altered: Thror leads an army to Moria to reclaim it as opposed to investigating it with a single companion, and he is beheaded during the battle while in the books this occurred several years beforehand. The origin of Thorin's name of Oakenshield is taken from the appendices of The Return of the King, but here takes place during battle with Azog and involves him picking up an oaken branch rather than cutting it off a tree. This conflicts with Tolkien's version, in which the White Council already knew that the Necromancer was Sauron and was at Dol Guldur, since Gandalf had already confirmed this 8. Saruman had discovered two years earlier (although he did not inform the Council of this) that Sauron had learned of Isildur's loss of the One Ring at the Gladden Fields by the river Anduin and his servants were searching the area. Accordingly, in Tolkien's original version, in the year of the events of The Hobbit, Saruman finally agreed to an attack on Dol Guldur because he wanted to prevent Sauron from finding the Ring. This is a serious departure from canon (Tolkien's writings), in which the Witch- king had not died, but fled. In fact, Glorfindel had stopped pursuit of the Witch- king and prophesied, ! He will not return to these lands. Far off yet is his doom, and not by the hand of man will he fall. This prophecy no longer makes sense if the Witch- king had already been killed and is now (as Saruman implies) just a spirit raised by a necromancer who could . As for how they premuably killed the last King of Gondor, Galadriel never specifically says if the other Ringwraiths were sealed in the High Fells along with the Witch- King when Angmar fell. So it is posssible that the other Ringwraiths challenged and killed Earnur, and were defeated and sealed with their leader centuries later. In this film, Bilbo sees Gollum fighting with a Goblin and we see Gollum drop the ring during the fight. In the film, the cave was partly lit up and Bilbo could see Gollum entirely. In the book, the Goblin King is merely knocked aside in this scene, and slain later on. It includes these scenes. The introduction. The Elvenking Thranduil is given more screen time. He approaches the throne while Thrain gestured for a dwarf to show Thranduil a chest of gems. As Thranduil looks entranced and reaches for it, the dwarf closes the lid. Bard's ancestor Girion is given screen time. He is seen behind his Wind Lance attempting to shoot down Smaug during the dragon's attack on Dale. A flashback wherein a young hobbit boy comes running up to Gandalf and plays with him. His mother Belladonna runs after him and acknowledges Gandalf as an old friend. Dwalin sees him and Kili begins making excuses. In one of his excuses, he mistakenly calls another male Elf a female and Dwalin corrects him. The rest of the dwarves laugh much to Kili's embarrassment. Bofur climbs up a platform and begins singing. The other dwarves join in and start throwing food around. Elrond and Lindir look surprised but said nothing about it. He approaches the statue holding the shards of Narsil before a particular painting catches his eye. The painting depicts Isildur about to cut the One Ring from Sauron's hand. Bilbo is particularly interested of the One Ring on Sauron's hand. Elrond also welcomes Bilbo to stay in Rivendell if he wishes. They find them swimming in a large fountain. Elrond voices his concern of Thorin himself, since both his grandfather and father succumbed to madness. Bilbo and Thorin overhear this conversation. Saruman dismisses this as it would be of no use since all believe the One Ring was lost long ago. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A (I, iv).
