The White Council's attack on Dol Guldur will be included in the movie, which explains Galadriel and the decision to make two films.

The whole thing was always left vague in the books, so I'm actually psyched as hell to see that.

Legolas, however, is just gratuitous fan service.

Well Legolas' father is in it, so there's some sense in having his son beside him. There's more than just one elf Tolkien hadn't thought up yet when he wrote the Hobbit.

Having Frodo in only makes sense if an old Bilbo is telling him the story.
