I believe it's called dramatic licence. In this instance some side references in the book were turned into major episodes in the films. Haven't seen the third one yet.

Just dont get me started....
saw a brilliant quote today... after someone saw the last episode in the trilogy... Something along the lines of ...It was like watching the last film in the lord of the rings 11 years ago and wishing Peter Jackson would make the Hobbit.... says it all really...
