If there was one scene from the Lord of the Rings that I would have loved to see that was in the books but not the movies; it would be the opening of The Knife in the Dark where a few of the Black Riders arrive at Crickhollow and Fatty Bolger manages to sneak out of the house ahead of them and you really get to see that the Shire, Buckland in particular, isn’t entirely undefended.
Plus I love the sound of a horn blowing.
