That is an interesting point you raise, Saucepan Man. It seems to me that Peter Jackson would either have to leave the plot as it is and put aside the fact that audiences might be confused by the shift in storytelling, or he would have to revamp the entire plot in such a way that Smaug dies climatically during the Battle of Five Armies, which for me would be too much of a stretch and far worse than leaving the plot intact.A good point is also made by Eurytus and Saucepan about Rivendell, but I think Peter Jackson would most likely choose to include it (if only briefly). My, it seems that The Hobbit is even harder to sort into a movie than the Lord of the Rings.
