Which characters weren't in Lord of the Rings movie that were in the book?

Answer 1

Radagast, the brown wizard, made a very short appearance in the book to tell Gandalf that Saruman wants to talk to him.

Old Man Willow the tree that nearly pinched Merry and Pippin in half, but Tom Bombadil saved them. This scene is similar in the scene when Treebeard rescues the hobbits from a tree.

Tom Bombadil and his wife Goldberry. Peter Jackson did not include them because they served no purpose to progressing the overall plot. Tom Bombadil is an enigma, he puts on the Ring and does not turn invisible! as strange as he may be even in a fantasy world, the story would not suffer with his exclusion.

The barrow-wights enchanted the hobbits, and they would likely have died without the intervention of Tom Bombadil.

Glorfindel, an elf, who is replaced by Arwen after Frodo is stabbed by the Witch-King. He is also at the council of Elrond at Rivendell.

Gloin, one of the dwarves in 'The Hobbit' and Gimli's father; Erestor, an advisor of Elrond; and Galdor from the Grey Havens are also at the council of Elrond.

The troll in Moria is not the one who stabs Frodo, instead it is an Orc Chieftain.

The Dunlendings and Wildmen who attack Rohan villiages actually are introduced in the book.

Quickbeam is another ent at the ent-moot along with Treebeard.

Ioreth who, in the houses of healing, said of Aragorn, "The hands of the king are the hands of a healer" among other things.
