I've only read the books once, so am not an expert on what order the scenes appeared in the book, but I wouldn't be surprised if they shifted that scene around or edited it out. But yeah, my main complaint is that they spent so much time on all of those other scenes.
Of course, they know there are no more books after this one, so why not soak the viewers as much as possible while they can? And now I hear The Hobbit will be split into two movies. Out of all of Tolkein's novels, The Hobbit is NOT the one that should have been split.
