So what was dropped from the original "Fellowship"? Quite a bit, judging from this advance peek at the November DVD. Jackson filmed, then deleted, a more elaborate introduction to Hobbiton, scenes of Bilbo (Ian Holm) working on his memoirs, more footage of Gandalf (Ian McKellen) counseling Frodo (Elijah Wood) on the powers of the ring, more intrigue among the elves of Lothlorien, and a touching sequence in which Gimli the warrior dwarf (John Rhys-Davis) confesses his love for Galadriel (Cate Blanchett), the elven queen.

I've seen those scenes in the Extended Edition Preview, provided in the current FOTR DVD. There is also a scene where the Queen Galadriel is on a boat, apparently leaving Lothlorien.
