<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>#1 The scenes with the Ents have been expanded, now to include more interaction with the Ents with Merry and Pippin. Also a great new addition are the Huorns, the Tree's that are not quite trees and not quite Ents. Third, there is the scene with the Ent Draught which Merry and Pippin drink and allows them to grow a bit.
#2 The ending of the movie has been greatly expanded upon. It will now include Merry and Pippin finding the Pipe weed and other goods which they found in the book, there is more footage in this battle. Next the Huorns DO take part in the battle of Helms Deep, a Forest appears just beyond the Hornburg (not shown in the theatrical) and the Orcs are killed as they try to escape through it, this makes the battle completely accurate by the book standards.
#3 Gondor, there will be scenes of Minas Tirith, flashbacks to Boromir. Denethor is also a part of this. They give some much added depth to Boromir's character.
#4 This is one I think people are definetly going to look forward too. Faramir gets a lot more character development, and so his character will be like that of the book than rather what was seen in the theatrical version. This is both in Ithilien (the land where he found Frodo and Pippin, where the forbidden pool is) and Osgiliath (from which he helps Frodo and Sam escape, this is an important part considering how the story went in the book).
#5 Saruman has more scenes, as does Gandalf, these scenes are mainly for forshadowing purposes into the next movie. There is more on why Saruman is attacking Rohan and his relation with the Barad-Dur. Also, there is a lot (mainly dealing with Gandalf and Aragorn) on the politics of this war which both help the plot development in the movie and develop a stronger relationship with the upcoming movie.
#6 More on Theodred and Aragorn/Eowyn's relationship. As well, Elrond in Lothlorien. It shows the battle in which Theodred is killed.
There is more to this, of course, including dozens of smaller scenes. There is a total of 43 minutes of added footage which is 50% more than what was added to the Fellowship. So in essense, watching the Extended edition DVD will be like watching the movie again for the first time. As was in the Fellowship, there will be all new commentary, and 6+ hours of all new bonus video material on 2 bonus DVD's.
It's still four months off, but I can't wait! =)</div>
