You are right, the hobbit ends when they defeat the dragon, however this story shamefully scrapped from apendix writings that tolkien wrote at the back of The Return Of The King

He wrote them to fill plotholes for future books (Silmarillions) which he didn't finish but his son did.
because when he wrote the hobbit he wasn't planning on expanding it to the Lord Of The Rings, and when he wrote lord of the rings he went back to the hobbit and added a lot of things to it (it was a short story he wrote for his children) .
Peter Jackson just scrapped everything remaining and stretched it out, as a huge fan of Tolkien , I DON'T MIND because Peter makes some of the best movies ever, its better than this generic piece of crap
