The book itself is nowhere near long enough to warrant a trilogy, and they actually had to add large amounts of content to the movies that was not in the book to stretch them out so they could actually fill out a full trilogy | |

| Feb 28, 2021 at 15:58 | comment | added | Allerleirauh | I read the book too, but some time ago. As I understand, they added some information from other books into the movies. So it was not absolute clear, if the changes come from "need drama" only, or were from other sources. | |
| Feb 28, 2021 at 13:18 | comment | added | Valorum | @Allerleirauh - Movies need to change things in the original book to allow audiences to understand motivation and to create drama. | |
| Feb 28, 2021 at 8:58 | comment | added | Allerleirauh | Then the movie is missleading, because there the stone is multiple times spoken about as the sign of the official king. Gandalf even explain the plan (in beginning of the second part) in this order: get the stone and then "apply to be king" | |
