Heh, well that's why I'm asking. He did leave, and I think he did talk about consulting wizards, but it was never flushed out the way it was in the movie. Because I'm fairly certain it hadn't been thought up yet.

I'm probably just going to have to read the book again myself, heh.

To that point, I don't think we ever meet the brown wizard in The Hobbit OR Lord of the Rings. I don't think he is even more than mentioned. The real story behind the wizards gets flushed out in the Similarion for the most part. Which is like a history of MIddle-Earth.
