The dwarf is Gimli, IIRC. The main part that they cut out that I remember, is meeting Tom Bombadil, and the barrow wights. Which was a cool part, but sort of a sidetrack to the overall plot. It worked fine in the book, but I can see why they would leave it out of the movie. -TG
Actually, I have something Tolkein in my possessions, I just haven't gotten around to reading it. The first Tolkein I read was very dense prose, and I just couldn't slog through it. Maybe I've got the attention span for it now.
