You need to reread the books, during the events of the Hobbit, a powerful dark wizard known as The Necromancer took over the abandoned fortress of Dol Goldur in southern Mirkwood. The council of the wise later found out that it is was in fact Sauron.

Only deads under sauron's influence are the 9 kings that are bounded to him through the rings, and they're not exactly dead they're more like immortal ghosts
realm of the dead are under valar's influence
Sauron is a corrupted Valar hand, not a wizard lol He's a spirit, like gandalf, just his master used to be morgoth before he was vanquished
edit : pretty sure sauron is still asleep when hobbit takes place

Sigh. No. In the Hobbit, he is called the Necromancer, and the reason Gandalf is away all the time is that he is driving him out from Dol Guldur together with the council. At least do some research before refuting the same thing twice. See for instance the Wikipedia article on Sauron under "The Necromancer of Dol Guldur".
I just remembered, the bloke who turns into a bear! Where gandalf makes them come 2 by 2, i loved that part of the book :-) i truely hope it can live up to it.
Going to re-read it again, such an awesome tale.
The dark forest and the spiders, the weeks spent in the elven castle under the ring, the dragon laying waste to the entire town and bilbo telling riddles, even the trolls at the beginning with all their mutton!
Sauron (aka the necromancer) is indeed awake during the events of the hobbit. Perhaps not fully, but enough to cast a shadow over the lands and gather forces to him. That is why the white council meets and discuss ways to drive him out.
Oh and Sauron was a Maia not a Vala. He was of the same order as the five istari that came to middle earth (saruman, gandalf, radagast, 2 blue wizards). He was corrupted by Morgoth who was a Vala (or of the same order).

i never said he was a valar, i said a mayar, not a maia btw
also mayars are reffered to as "valar's hand"
and no he wasn't one of the five istaris
Valar / Mayars aren't 'orders'
Valar's are the childrens of Eru and Mayars are their servants
And the istaris are a little younger than a old (albeit weak) Mayar like Sauron.

it's different
It was still Sauron...
no it's different, its the will, not Sauron as in the 2nd age war
When news of the Hobbit movie first came out, I was so worried it would be really bad. But now every teaser and trailer I have seen just makes me more and more excited. I feel like a little kid on christmas eve :D

But it was still Sauron. He did not have the same form, but it was him. Anyway, the point was that the Necromancer was indeed a character in that world, and it was a form of Sauron whatever you want to call it.

Bah forget it.. there's a big difference
edit : he didn't have a "form" that's the whole point, and thus, that's not "him", but only "his will" it's a pretty big distinction in middle earth's history / lore

This is like arguing whether Gandalf the Grey is the same being as Gandalf the White.
The form is not what makes Sauron, Sauron. It's the spirit, his essence. That remains the same (albeit severely diminished without the ring).

Gandalf the grey is different than gandalf the white, as he is turned into the head of the istaris upon being resent to the middle earth after saruman's failure
gandalf the white is closer to beeing saruman the white than gandalf the grey

they actually drive him out of Mirkwood during the events of The Hobbit. And iirc, they said they will find a way to somehow show it in the movie. That would be really amazing!!!
