ArathornJax has just left Hobbiton.
What's In

Well, going by the adaptation I think you'll see An Expected Party, then the Trolls, a quickie in Rivendell, the confrontation between the Goblins and Bilbo and Gollum. Next, the Eagles taking them to the edge of Mirkwood, the forest path and the spider confrontation, followed by Barrel out of Bonds and Laketown, then the Mountain, Smaug, Bilbo and Smaug, Smaug's death, the gathering of clouds and the Battle of Five Armies. A quick return trip similar to Frodo's return to the Shire after ROTK and Mt. Doom. Beorn could be left out or given a mention to and thus show up for the Battle. Or the Eagles take them to the Carrock and they meet the Bear/Man and he gives them the ponies to borrow. However, I don't think we'll see time at Beorn, just a mention and then he'll show up at the Battle (or like I said an introduction that is quick but not long like in the book).
