12. The Head Bump
When Gandalf first arrives at Bag End for the first time in 60 years, he has a bit of trouble adjusting to the height restrictions of the Hobbit hole. After he passes off his hat and staff to Bilbo, he knocks into a small chandelier and as he turns, smacks his forehead on one of the rafters – hard. The chandelier? Most likely planned, but the head bump was not. However, Sir Ian McKellen kept on going through it. Peter Jackson enjoyed the moment so much he kept it in the final film.
