We're looking far ahead with this post, but I'm wondering how they will
1. Close the film: Bookend with old Bilbo?
2. Work in Bilbo's return and possibly the auction.
Since Frodo has already headed off to meet Gandalf (eastfarthing Woods!) I would imagine it might be Bilbo getting ready for the party and writing some more to close out the narrative of the Hobbit, by himself.
The auction would be a very interesting scene, and views of the Shire are popular. If they do something of Bilbo and his relatives, I wonder whether Gandalf will be there to says something sage or witty when he walks up with Bilbo. 'Nothing will ever be the same, Bilbo...' or some derivative line from their final conversation in the book... 'You are just one person in the wide world after all...' would almost fit when Bilbo sees what's going on.
I don't see that we'll get something of Balin's later visit, it jumbles the timeframe a little, although it would be nice to segue from that to old Bilbo looking at some remembrance of the dwarves in his hand, or in the book (a picture of Balin?)
Thoughts?

I think the final scene will show him looking at the One Ring, with a music change to hint that there are future problems down the road. I don't want that, but I don't think PJ will be able to resist a Revenge of the Sith ending.

Bilbo states when talking to Gandalf on the day of his party, in "Fellowship", that he wants to get away from his bothersome relatives and finish his book. To me this suggests the final scene could be in Rivendell, either with or without Frodo.

I think, just like Sam saying, well, I'm back, right from the book, young Bilbo will say his last lines from the book, but then PJ may flash forward to older Bilbo finishing the book and closing it, or handing it to Frodo...I feel multiple "endings" will happen, which I loved about LOTR.

I imagine that There and Back Again will end with Old Bilbo in a final book-end scene.
If the auction of Bag End is not in the theatrical cut then I expect it will be included in the Extended Edition.

I'm trying to come up with a reason for them to do something with the auction.
The only thing that makes it useful to the film is a tie-in to FOTR and Bilbo not liking the Sackville-Bagginses, which is one of those cultural things that isn't explained.

Well, besides the Sackville-Bagginses, the role of Mayor of Michel Delving was supposedly cast (rumored to be actor Shane Briant); the Mayor would likely also be the auctioneer. The auction would also be a good place for cameos of young Primula Brandybuck (who should be an adolescent hobbit of 21 or 22 years) and her future spouse Drogo Baggins.
