The Hobbit Trilogy: 10 Things That Were Left Out From The Books -BB

When movies are taken from a book, there is inevitably always going to be moments that don’t make the cut. Whether it is the choice of the director or simply because they cannot take it from a page to the big screen, some parts have to be left to just the book. The Hobbit was an immensely popular book, and after the success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Peter Jackson stepped up to turn that novel into a series as well.

However, with this book, he was able to utilize a lot more source material, as the one book was given three entire movies to tell the story. Even though there were three films dedicated to just one book, which is much smaller than the three Lord of the Rings books, there were still moments that didn’t get included. Here are 10 moments from the books that were either changed or didn’t make it into the movies.

10 Bilbo’s First Encounter With Gandalf

The relationship between  Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf is arguably the most important within this trilogy of movies. Throughout the films, Peter Jackson tried to stay as close to the source material when it came to them both in order to portray that.

However, the original encounter that they have in the books didn’t make the cut. Initially, Bilbo becomes fed up with Gandalf for suggesting him going on an adventure, but due Hobbits always being polite, he still invites him to tea the following day. That is what leads to the adventure starting, rather than Gandalf sneakily drawing a spell on his door.

9 Tauriel

Something that the books are criticized for nowadays is the lack of major female characters. Because times have changed when the films were released, the decision was made to bring more female talent to the story, and therefore Tauriel was added to the story.

In reality, she isn’t even a character in the book, with this being someone that was totally made up to give a female warrior to the films. It was a decision that worked out fine, as the elf is a great character, but when it comes to being truthful to the book, this character simply wasn’t.

8 Bilbo’s Appearance

For the most part, all six of Peter Jackson’s journeys into Middle-Earth do a tremendous job of bringing the characters of the books to life in the best way possible. The casting stays true to how they’re described, but Bilbo Baggins is slightly different.

He is described in the book as being over 50-years-old and fat in the stomach. With long, clever brown fingers and deep fruity laughs. While certain aspects were kept true, it is fair to say this is a much younger, fitter look for the character, which was perhaps done to fit in with Hollywood stereotypes.

7 Bilbo & The Trolls

In The Hobbit, one of the first major tests that Bilbo Baggins has to come up against is the trolls. The three of them capture the dwarves and end up being tied up as they attempt to cook them to eat. That is apart from Bilbo, who does his best to rescue them and stall until Gandalf comes in and uses the sun to freeze them as statues.

This was a slight twist from the books. This was done to make Bilbo look stronger in the film, however, in the novel, he actually has no real impact on the situation at all, showing very little courage as he actually fails in his attempts to help out.

6 Sneaking Away

At the start of both the movies and the book, it is crystal clear that Bilbo Baggins isn’t looking for an adventure, and it takes quite a lot of convincing to get him to go on the journey. During the moment when the dwarves have a feast in his home, Bilbo really is unsure of what is happening.

In the movies, he focuses on them not destroying his home or eating all of his food. However, in the books, he becomes so anxious about the adventure that he actually tries to sneak out of his Hobbit hole to hide. It’s a shame this wasn’t quickly added to the film as it would have really pushed the idea of how scared Bilbo was.

5 The Ponies

When the adventure begins, the group has ponies in order to help them cover the ground much faster. It makes it more believable that they would get from point A to point B much quicker considering how small all of them are in reality, being dwarves and a Hobbit.

In the movie, they suddenly disappear, when it is explained that they have bolted away due to what is happening. However, in the book, they are actually taken and then eaten by the trolls that the group encounters, making them a much scarier prospect.

4 The Eagles

The Eagles are consistent at popping up within the world of Middle-Earth and in The Hobbit, that’s no different. However, the way this happens within the book and the movie is slightly different, as the reactions from Bilbo is very different.

In the book, Bilbo isn’t the most confident person and he is incredibly scared when he is snatched in the claws of the Eagle. So much so that the birds actually talk to him to reassure him. However, in the film, Bilbo is much more confident, getting on the back of the bird and flying away.

3 Bard The Bargeman

Bard is one of the most important characters in The Hobbit trilogy is Bard. He plays a key role in what happens throughout, especially with his crucial battle against Smaug. However, the movies did make some major changes to his character.

The films don’t actually give him the right job for a start. In the novel, he is not a bargeman, as he’s actually a bowman (hence his skills later on in the film), and he is the captain of the town archers. He also gets along with the Master of the town, which is another major contrast to the film.

2 Radagast

Radagast the Brown plays quite an important part in all three of The Hobbit movies, bringing an extra wizard into the world of Middle-Earth. He is a crazed character who has a love for all the animals and interacts with all the main characters at some stage or another.

However, in the books, he is only actually mentioned in passing. Radagast never actually appears or plays any impact within the tale, which means he was simply added to the movies for the sake of it. Likely to add time to the movies and to flesh out the world, it was a moment not involved in the books at all.

1 Azog Didn’t Exist

Within The Hobbit, Azog plays a big part in the movie, appearing as one of the main villains. He is a formidable force who is incredibly strong and violent, often devastating the dwarves every time they end up encountering due to his size and power advantage.

However, fans of the book were a little confused when the Pale Orc appeared. The reason for that is because he actually died 150 years before the book even began, meaning that he was never supposed to be part of the movies, as he shouldn’t be alive.
