Our staff have been doing a little bit of digging through the various movie tie-in books that have just been released for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and have come up with a few more nuggets of gold to keep us all thinking.



As usual, here’s your movie spoiler space !

Jude Fisher’s Visual Companion

Goblins may appear in The Battle of Five Armies? The book talks about the Goblins of the Misty Mountains hating the sun and needing manufactured night if they are to fight.

Different types of trolls that appear in The Battle of Five Armies: Snow Trolls (only before seen in a Lord of the Rings video game), Cave Trolls, and Olog-hai.

Thranduil designed the necklace of gems that the dwarves withhold for his wife, and ‘in his mind it was the last thing he owned that reminded him of his dead wife’.

The Movie Story Book

Tauriel and Legolas will help the Lake-town folk regroup before heading North.

Tauriel leaves the dwarves on the shores of the lake, to join Legolas on ‘urgent business in the North’. [Analysis: so is that actually Bard’s white horse riding away from Erebor in the trailer, rather than Tauriel’s?]

Sauron is ‘keeping his prisoner [Gandalf] alive to seek out the truth as to who holds the three Elven Rings of power’.

The book names the necklace Thranduil wants back from Thorin as ‘the Gems of Lasgalen’. It is not the Nauglamir, just some ‘gems of the greenleaves’.

Thorin believes one of the company of dwarves has stolen the Arkenstone.

Bolg is referred to as ‘the spawn of Azog the Defiler’. This may be the first PJverse confirmation that, as in the book, Bolg is Azog’s son.
