yes, in the book, they do both. the Huorns take care of the orcs at Helm's Deep, and the Ents(and some extra Huorns) take care of Isengard. in the movie, Jackson substitutes elves for Huorns which I feel adds(or detracts) something from the Man/Elven relationship. I'm not saying that well; I feel that it was wrong for the story to have the Elves there. it should be more about Aragorn and Men, and Gandalf's negotiations with Treebeard. mostly, I just don't understand why Jackson felt it necessary to make that change.

ok, I just want to see the movie again...

But only by throwing them into the fire in the fireplace. Remember, Huom is where the hearth is.

Now, there's the mark of a true believer!
Like you, I use that delightfully expressive Sindarin word as an expression of distaste.

In my defense, my tiredold eyes actually did run the r and n together to make an m. Even when i went back and looked at it after you pointed it out I still had to squint. Part of it's the louse monitor I have too.

This will probably be seen as a well-Huorn excuse, too.
