I agree but if you make 3 movies out of one short book, it is principially possible to have all scenes from the book in the movie.

What me bugs me the most is not that scenes are missing but that details are changed or unrealistic things added. Things like the flys coming out of the nose of a dwarf or Radagast's rabbit sled make it look like a parody of something. Elves riding elks  or dwarves riding rams is really unrealistic (and dwarves would never ride anything voluntarily).
