'AUJ' avoids the whole issue...

Tolkien added these facts to the swords after the Hobbit and it's now a minor plot hole. There is just no way that Elrond would have let Thorin use his families weapon for this quest, at the very least without acknowledging how generous he is being by letting him do so. The truth is that movie-Elrond isn't given a say in the matter since the company sneaks off without anyone but Gandalf being the wiser.

An amendment. Elrond's relation to Turgon is not off limits to the filmakers, as it can be drawn from The Appendices.

There would also be, in Elrond the wise, a knowledge of Feanor, and of what being too attatched

Elrond knew this would be a powerful token of good will between Elves and Dwarves,

Agreed on both, though it seems that the Appendices would allow one to trace
