Do not remember any of that when I read the book 20 years ago.


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

http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Appendices

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

That is not correct. The Battle of the five Armies was always part of the Hobbit.

What was not part of the book is what Gandalf did while he was seperated from the Dwarfs. 



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
