Why did the wizard disappear in the book The Hobbit?
Gandalf's first action in The Hobbit is to show up on Bilbo's doorstep, and get invited for tea. He shows up a bit late, having told a few dwarves looking for a burgler to stop by as well. These dwarves, at Gandalf's advice, hire Bilbo for the position. Gandalf then accompanies them for a part of their journey. While with the dwarves and Bilbo, he saves them from three angry trolls and rescues them from the goblins of the mountains. With this accomplished, and the dwarves well on their way to their destination, Gandalf leaves them to go do something else that needs doing. Gandalf left the dwarves, in fact, to go and deal with an evil power growing in the south of Mirkwood Forest. This power is referred to as the Necromancer in The Hobbit, and turns out in the sequel to be the dark lord Sauron, who held Middle Earth in terror for a thousand years. Gandalf, and a few wizard friends, successfully drives the Necromancer/Sauron from Mirkwood. Since their foe simply pretended to flee and then sent a few henchmen to take it back, the action wasn't really all that useful, but it's the thought that counts. This done, Gandalf returns to the dwarves, and is there in time to warn them of an approaching goblin army. After the goblins are defeated, Gandalf guides Bilbo the hobbit back home, and goes off to do whatever wizards do.
