Well don't get the wrong idea. This movie is actually pretty close to the book, especially compared to the way they hacked and slashed parts out of LOTR to make the screenplay. The differences come from extra things they added to the movie to tie it in with the LOTR story more closely. While those additions aren't in the Hobbit book, they're in other writings from Tolken, whether they be the appendices from LOTR or from the Silmarillion.
