Well yes, there was no Narsil shrine in the book

but at the time of The Hobbit I don't think Aragorn was carrying it around with him yet; he was younger, 60-plus years before the fellowship of the ring. Elrond was Narsil's guardian until Aragorn turned 20. I think Aragorn was still just a lad when Gandalf first learned of Gollum, which he did only after Bilbo had returned home from his adventures and had finally owned up to the real story of how he had acquired his magic ring.
On the other hand I may have my timelines completely wrong!
Aragorn certainly would not have gotten far in the LOTR movies brandishing a broken sword, so I understand why the shrine was created for Rivendell but I, too, love the book Aragorn who is proud of his heritage (but not arrogant) and confident that his blade will be reforged for the great battle ahead. I do get a little weary of him rehashing his lineage to all and sundry but oh well - I love him anyway!

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

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