One of my favorite parts of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was the time spent in Rivendell.  It was nice seeing the interplay between Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel, seeing them smile and enjoy each other’s company as they moved across the screen.  So I’m glad that one of the first scenes from the movie’s extended version showcases a little more of that, this time between Bilbo and Elrond.

The extended-version DVD drops November 5.  We all get to return to Middle Earth for the next installment of the story in December.
