but I am not certain that he will display a lot of his magic in Dol Guldur, at least not when he is alone. Perhaps I am wrong but we have twi things that confirm this;
- even in books Gandalf rarely displays his power as his main task is to help peoples of Middle Earth against Sauron and his minions. He is doing that by encourage them, giving them hope and focus them on the right path rather then using full power to fight enemy directly. Though many objected the fact that Gandalf showed so little magic in LOTR I think filmakers were true to the books in that case and I approve that. The only greatest error was his confrotation with the Witch King in EE which shouldn't be included in the film at all but then again maybe Gandal would still fight the Witch King if the Rohirrim wouldn't arrive.
- as I already pointed out Peter Jackson and his team didn't show much of Gandalf's magic until now. His powers are always display rather subtile, he is fighting with his staff and sword rather than using magic and I doubt that they will change this. Again we see Gandalf fighting Thrain with his staff in Dol Guldur so unless he will be in great danger he won't do great lightening shows.
Also don't forget that he is only investigating and he should do that subtle and without making great mess. However attack of the White Council on Dol Guldur is another matter as their main goal is to defeat Sauron and therefore a lot of magic should be presented on that attack, even from Gandalf.

Certainly Gandalf needs to display power-magic in Dol Guldur. But how? Let the books be your guide, filmcrew!

That is a fear, but I certainly hope they won't make that mistake. Two things play in favour of them doing the right thing

No, however Sauron almost surely would not be the first wave of confrontation (and, yes please to Glorfindel in the full assault . .. SURVIVING in a hero Elf role!)

There were a few points where Glamdring glowed VERY briefly, as it was swung.

It is the books being quoted. Yes he encouraged, with wisdom, and his kind Spirit, and was aided by the healing power of The Red Ring, but make no mistake

It is a trap. And as he said on Caradhras when the wargs came, ere another display of power, "Need we wait till morning? The Hunt is up!"
