<---- Mr Wight gives you a thumbs up
If the white counsel is involved, I think they would probably show all five wizards, i.e. we'd get to see ol' Radagast, Alatar and Pallando. As was said earlier, Tension between Gandalf and Saruman could be shown (And perhaps that scene from UT between Gandalf and Saruman [including Saruman's comments on hobbit weed]).
This would be good for book readers to see as well as explaining a few things to moviegoers.
Moreover, The Riddles in the Dark would be an interesting scene, how they would tie it in to the scene in the prologue of Fellowship would be difficult. Perhaps cut it so that it shows Bilbo finding the ring, having the riddle game, and then when Gollum discovers his missing precious, you see Bilbos reaction to "lose! My precious is lost!".
That’s my opinion any way.
