I am more inclined to think that the scene in question will be PJ's interpretation of the brief line in the book's unexpected party: "Even I, Gandalf, only just escaped." -- we have seen a mention of a badly injured Gandalf being rescued by Galadriel (and possibly also Radagast), and I have a strong suspicion that this will relate to him snooping in Dol Guldur on his own and getting caught. This, too, can be interpreted in multiple ways. It may simply mean that he hasn't shot all the scenes, yet, or that he is not fully familiar with the rearrangement of the scenes he has shot with the turn into a trilogy. In a nutshell, I wouldn't call either of these conclusive evidence to any direction. My speculations are simply based on what I consider to be good pacing and proper threat escalation befit for a fantasy epic. It is ofcourse possible that in PJ's version the Necromancer will be driven from Dol Guldur relatively early on, but will remanifest to drive orcs into war in the Bo5A, but I still feel it would be very rushed to include Gandalf's investigation, the second meeting of the Council and their assault on Dol Guldur all in the same film.

Knowing PJ, I imagine the timing of the assualt on Dol Guldur will not at all be influenced by the book's timeline.

Considering that even the time when the Necromancer established himself in Mirkwood is changed...

It's going to be a balancing act of action and exposition

Basically, you are giving the exact reasons why I find the Smaug-prologue a terrible idea.

Huge agreement on the dissapointment. Especially about Glorfindel and Cirdan.
