I could just about cope with compressing the two Battles of Dol Guldur (2941 and 3019) if the pay-off is seeing Galadriel the super-Noldo in action. What makes me hesitate though is what it means for the depiction of Sauron. In Middle-earth (including in Jackson's re-imagining of it), Sauron is the arch-villain / Dark Lord etc. Having the events of Dol Guldur in 2941 come across as a massive defeat, with Sauron in retreat (that bit did happen then) and his base for the last 1800 years destroyed undermines the 'Dark Lord' narrative. Sure, Sauron wasn't invincible (indeed, he was uniquely vulnerable) but if a film-goer is supposed to fear for the fate of Middle-earth in the LotR film trilogy then depicting Sauron in TH trilogy as a local wrangler down in Dol Guldur who can be crushed by the White Council has the potential to undercut that.
