It was done this way because they are <B>butchers!</B> I would rather have had little snippets like the Barrow-Wight spell or the chapter titles (Riddles in the Dark, A Long-Expected Party) left out than disjointed and bastardised. If they seriously thought that the way to appease Tolkien fans would be to carve up the book willy-nilly and throw dialogue around so light-heartedly, then they were deluded from day one.
