What I would LOVE to see in the Hobbit would be Sir Ian, Kate Blanchett, Christopher Lee and the rest of the White Council discussing the rising of Sauron. We would see Saruman arguing against attacking Sauron at Dol Guldur, and the Dark Lord making his escape from his woodland fortress.

I know, it'll never happen.......but it will explain the reasons why we keep seing Gandalf bogging off and leaving the dwarves in trouble all the time.....

My first reading of the Hobbit was at school and all I remember from that time is everyone moaning about were the hell Gandalf kept (expletive) off to!!! I don't think this would work on film without a proper explanation.
