*** I also find it mildly amusing and kind of touching that Thorin immediately knows who it is that's not pitching in their fair share.



* Thorin and Balin remembering every last room and hallway. Erebor is the size of a ''city'' not just a castle. They haven't been there in almost two hundred years, but they still know it like the backs of their hands.

** "I know these walls... these halls... this stone." Part TearJerker and Heartwarming, this is where you realise that Thorin, beyond the burdens of his line, simply wished to come back home. And that he just did.

** And again. The dwarves with all their might couldn't stop Smaug. They made an enormous statue of Thror, and then drown Smaug in molten gold. And that still didn't work. But Bard will save the day, all because he kept a family heirloom from his disgraced grandfather.

* Remember Gandalf's speech in the previous film, about how he believes little acts of kindness are more powerful than the loud and impressive things of the world? Bard proves him absolutely right. The Master of Laketown has spies littered throughout the town, and soldiers willing to arrest people for no reason, all the wealth he could want and every single weapon he can find locked and hoarded up, and is played by StephenFry. And yet, he still fears an insurrection from Bard, who despite coming from a disgraced family, treats the people he meets with kindness. Bard is the kind of man to help some down-on-their-luck dwarves against his better judgment, the kind of man who will give a man a boatload of fish for free.

** And later in the thunder battle when it looks like Fili and a few other dwarves were separated from the main group and believed to have been crushed, Thorin loses his composure and screams his nephew's name. When they find Fili and the others to be alive and unhurt, Thorin visibly slumps over with relief. He really does care for them.

** And earlier when the company is running away from the orc patrol to the hidden elven passage, Fili is fairly close to the opening when Gandalf finds it but Kili is further out, shooting at orcs to guard their rear. Fili should have been one of the first down the hole but instead is one of the last, only a step ahead of his brother.

** And when Fili and Kili are remarking on the ponies missing, you realize that not only did the company give and memorize names to all their ponies, they're all adorable ones like Myrtle, Mindy, and Daisy.
* When Bilbo has the chance to kill Gollum before escaping the Misty Mountains, he almost takes it, but the sight of Gollum so heartbroken is enough to make Bilbo hesitate, and then choose to spare his life. While heartwarming [[WhatYouAreInTheDark on its own]], it's even better when you realize that, with one single choice, Bilbo unknowingly saved all of Middle Earth in the long run by allowing Gollum to live.
** When Bilbo is about to strike Gollum from behind and he turns around and Bilbo sees him face to face and eye to eye looking how sad he is and as Bilbo draws Sting back slowly the familiar theme of The Shire starts to play. Like before with Frodo when The Fellowship breaks. You can pretty much imagine the words Gandalf spoke to Bilbo earlier.

** Balin is clearly anxious about going on the quest, since he thinks Thorin has done duty by their people and needn't go to such lengths. Yet when Thorin explains (with an air of sadness) that [[HonorBeforeReason he has no choice in the matter]], Balin simply pats him on the back and says, "then we will see it done, laddie".
