In Rivendell, Frodo is healed. Gandalf has escaped Saruman with the help of the Lord of the Eagles. Elrond, the Lord of Rivendell, holds a council. Men, Elves, and Dwarves argue over who should take the Ring. Frodo steps forward: "I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way."
A Fellowship is formed: Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf, the Ranger Aragorn (Strider), the Elf Legolas, the Dwarf Gimli, and the Man Boromir. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of
The Extended Edition Difference: Before they leave, there is a touching scene where Aragorn visits his mother’s memorial. Elrond reveals the full weight of Aragorn’s destiny: he is the heir to the throne of Gondor, but he must accept it. We also see the gift-giving ceremony. Galadriel gives each member of the Fellowship a specific gift—most notably, she gives Frodo the Phial of Galadriel, a light that shines in dark places, and Sam a box of magical soil for his garden.
The theatrical cut condenses the Council of Elrond. The extended edition restores Bilbo’s outburst and a longer debate about Tom Bombadil (though he isn't shown, the conversation about him adds context for book readers). You also hear more of Boromir’s despair and Aragorn’s hesitation.
The Extended Edition is closer to Tolkien’s novel in spirit, though not in literal adaptation.
