Man-of-the-Wold has just left Hobbiton.
Also, on a comparable note, The Hobbit in the end presents Bilbo overhearing about "White Wizards" plural, as opposed to the The White Council in confronting the Necromancer.

This, I think, makes sense if one considers that Bilbo in writing "There and Back Again" wanted to stay true to his relative lack of knowledge at that time, and to how he interpreted things, being only half asleep, as not getting too specific about background details. Bilbo might like the Movie's better than Frodo woould have.
