I am happy to know they filmed the ent-draught. It has a good chance of making it back in!

Yeah, but if PJ isn't going to do the Scouring of the Shire, it doesn't make much difference does it? One of the main points about Merry and Pippin being larger than the other Hobbits, was that they were able to fight and make a name for themselves in the brief Battle of Bywater.

Oh Frodo can still remark about their size when he sees them again!

Seems to me they already ARE larger than Sam and Frodo.
