I tend to agree with the Groundskeeper. Movies have dropped important characters before-take the movie "Ronin" with Bob DeNiro. Great movie, in the beginning it seemed as if Sean Bean's character would be important, and even cool, then he was nothing and they dumped him. I think (as I mentioned before) that it'd have shown Elrond's foresight and the power of Rivendell, and also that not even just any elf could tangle with the nine.
