I would say so. The story was supposed to be the work of Bilbo, and at that point he likely had only a vague notion of what a "wizard" actually was. Oddly enough, it appears Elrond was
not present, as Bilbo overhead that information about the "council" as Gandalf relayed it to Elrond.

He obviously had a foreboding that would occur, yes.
