Changes

The dwarves and Bilbo travel up the Lonely Mountain, and manage to find and open the secret door leading into it. Calling him on the job he has been hired for, the dwarves send a terrified Bilbo into the mountain. Bilbo comes to the dragon's lair, take a golden cup, talk to the dragon, and learn his one weak spot. Smaug, believing the people of Lake-town responsible for helping the intruders, sets out to destroy it. A thrush who had overheard Bilbo telling the dwarves, reports the dragon's vulnerable spot to Bard the Bowman, who is able to shoot Smaug, although a great part of Lake-town is destroyed.

The dwarves are rejoicing in retaking their old home, and send messages to others of their people to join them. Bilbo finds and takes the Arkenstone, a gem greatly valued by Thorin. But the peace is short-lived as soon the people from Lake-town and an army from Mirkwood arrive, both parties laying claim to part of the dwarves' treasure, but Thorin refuses them. The humans and elves start a siege of the Lonely Mountain, which becomes even more tense after the arrival of Thorin's relative Dáin II Ironfoot with an army of dwarves. Bilbo sneaks off at night to give the sieging party the Arkenstone as a bargaining chip, hoping to prevent bloodshed. Thorin remains adamant and furiously rejects and curses Bilbo.

Just when there seems no way out, Gandalf reappears to warn of an approaching army of Goblins and Wargs. The dwarves, men, and elves band together against their common enemy, resulting in the ''Battle of Five Armies'', which they manage to win with the help of the Eagles and Beorn. Thorin's nephews Fíli and Kíli are killed, and Thorin himself mortally wounded. He dies after the battle, but lives long enough to reconcile with Bilbo, whom he now holds in high regard and as a dear friend. Dáin becomes ''King under the Mountain'', and parts of the dwarves' treasure are rewarded to the involved parties. In the end Bilbo returns home, richer and grown for his experiences, and lives happily thereafter.<ref>J. R. R. Tolkien, ''The Hobbit''</ref>
