#And more time wasted after realized that Bilbo was acting too inappropriately towards that ring?

[anneangel]

Bilbo in the book tells all the dwarves that he has a "magic" ring. But he doesn't tell It to Gandalf.

Bilbo in the movie doesn't tell anyone he has a "magic" ring. Much less Gandalf, even after the wizard openly asked about it.

—

Gandalf: Do you had a problem with me, Bilbo?

Bilbo: well, I didn't want you to know about it, and thinking about it now, maybe the ring didn't want too. But for someone so shifty, you took a long time to arrive out about this.

Gandalf: but then how could LotR be a race against time and most dangerous, if it weren't like that? We have had many honorable trials of willpower and sagas of heroes for the bards to tell. And The king returned, so all's well that ends well.

Bilbo: So is this how you intend to justify all the time you took to find out about the Ring?

Gandalf: Even because, at the time, The Ring wasn't even my task.

Bilbo: It doesn’t look good for the book. We need a better excuse than that.

Gandalf: We just need to polish the plot better with some good old philosophical flourishes. So put something like this "everything happens at the time it has to happen".

Bilbo: Even because 'A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he mean to'.

Gandalf: Exactly. You got the rhythm of the idea, now remind Frodo of this!
