The book doesn't really explain why things are happening. Gandalf appears to choose Bilbo as the burglar for no reason (he knows Bilbo's parents). In the movie, they expend a bit of effort to give reason(s).
The dwarf/goblin angle is clarified. Apparently the goblins start hunting the dwarves shortly after they leave the Shire. In the book, the goblins don't hunt the dwarves at all. The capture of the dwarves in the mountains feels more like happenstance than a concerted effort to track the dwarves down and catch them. The increased interaction with goblins is likely to make the dwarves look more like warriors than they came off in the book.
You could write in a single paragraph every notable thing a dwarf did in the book: "Fili has a hood of a certain color and a beard of a certain color. Fili is a young nephew of Thorin. Fili dies protecting Thorin. The end." I think the fact that the dwarves will be more than replaceable parts in the movie has to change some things.
We don't know what Radagast does in the book. He is going to do stuff in the movie, such as report that evil is coming back into the world. That has to change the tone, at least.

None of those things qualify as "significant" changes.

Is there going to be a new thread on every little question about what's in the book?
