PJ has said that ROTK follows the book more closely than the other few things. we already know that Scouring of the Shire is out, as is Ghan buri Ghan. there are other characters which are alse questionable, such as Imrahil, Elladan and Elrohir and a few others

ROTK is easily my favorite book...and it's also the shortest. I don't think he'll need to make real signifigant changes other than those we know about (Scouring, Muster of Rohan). On Imrahil, we mentioned it somewhere else and although the jury's still out I think the consensus so far is that at the LEAST an appearance by Imrahil is possible.

WAIT: I just realized something. In the trailer, we see part of The Last Debate, where they decide to attack Mordor at Morannon (The Black Gate) to buy Frodo some time, and we're shown Gimli, Legolas, Gandalf, Eomer, and Aragorn. If Imrahil was going to play the part he played in the book, he'd be in that scene. So that means that if Imrahil is in the film, he'll be in a reduced capacity.

I think he is mistaken its impossible for the muster of rohan not to be shown it even shows it in the rotk tralier so hes just wrong.

I thought the FoTR EE was about as close to the book you could get and still have an enjoyible movie.

i think that's what Harrypotterlotr was meaning, the TE not the EE

There are quite a few changes, inevitably, but from all we've seen and heard so far ROTK will be more true to the book in a way FOTR was, compared to TTT.

I'm fine with that, it's the major plot shifts or PJ 'additions' that I'm not as happy with.

well those only happened in TTT and i dont think there will be a lot of addition in ROTK..
