I'm sure there are many sharp-eyed viewers among us, so maybe you did notice this. I did on my second viewing.

Gandalf's staff is different in Fellowship of the Ring than in the Hobbit.

I'm sure a lot of you caught that.

But did you notice that the staff he is using in that movie belongs to Radagast the Brown in the Hobbit?

Something will happen to Radagast in the forthcoming two movies that will cause Gandalf to assume his staff. Perhaps some act of sacrifice that Gandalf feels he should honor?

I noticed that Bilbo took a ring that Gollum was calling precious. I have a feeling that is the ring Frodo must destroy in LOTR.

By the way, the OP's point was actually interesting. I just felt like being a smartass.

Great catch. Although, I think that Radagast's staff is different from the one Gandalf wields in FOTR. However, there's no doubt that Gandalf has a different staff in The Hobbit so maybe they will do something along those lines.

My favorite part of the Hobbit is how Gandalf kept counting the party like an exasperated school teacher.
