What were Biter and Beater in the book 'The Hobbit'?

'Beater and Biter' are names that the goblins/orcs gave to two swords: Glamdring, ancient sword of the King of Gondolin, and Orcrist, another famous and ancient blade. Being forged by elves, the two swords glowed blue in the presence of orcs. You see, in Middle-earth, people and especially orcs know the names of the most famous swords, as well they should, considering how many of their kind they lose to them. Thorin and Gandalf took these swords from the trolls' cave, and used them from then on. "Glamdring" means "foe-hammer" (the "dring" part means "hammer"), hence "Beater". "Orcrist" means "orc-cutter", hence "Biter". The orc-names are based on the Elvish names. In the Silmarillion, Tolkien described the city of Gondolin and its king, Turgon, who was Elrond's great-grandfather.

Why is legolas in The Hobbit movie?

Thorin and Gandalf had a discussion which eventually led to the expedition to Erebor. Thorin was to be the next king of Erebor and therefore was able to round up all the dwarves in the area to go on the adventure. He turned out to be a poor leader and it was a good thing Bilbo went along. Thorin was good at giving speeches and was a great warrior, even though he died because of his wounds in battle. Thorin's desire to retake Erebor set the events in motion that led to Smaug's demise.
