saw this in /b/ and thought I'd ask some people who have actually READ lotr

Gandalf, because Dumbledore had a death wish anyway.

>> No.955344

Gandalf because Dumbledore was merely human.

>> No.955345

Gandalf was portrayed by a homosexual.

Dumbledore actually was a homosexual in the Potter canon.

I'll go with Gandalf. Whose name actually means ELF OF THE WAND. Whereas, Dumbledore's name is something Rowling came up with while watching bumblebees.

>> No.955348

OK, how powerful was Gandalf exactly? The book makes it seem like he was really holding back most of the time, while Dumbledore spends all of his time waving his wand around like a faggot.

This is exactly what pissed me off about the /b/ thread. They were all like "wat gandalf can't even do any magic dumbldore is so l33torz"

Also there was a bit of a debate as to if Gandalf's magic comes from his staff or not.
I say it does because Grima tried to make sure not to let the staff in, and when Sarumon was overthrown Gandalf says "your staff is broken" which to me says that now his staff is broken he lost his magic, although someone thought it was merely symbolic.

He was a Maiar, which is basically like a minor fucking deity in the Tolkien Legendarium.

He also came back from dying, which Dumbledore has yet to do.

>> No.955368

I haven't read LOTR nor Harry Potter but it's pretty obvious that Gandalf would beat the shit out of Dumbledore.

This. He's a being of light and fire. The Balrog is a fallen cousin of his, a creature of fire and shadow...

That wasn't a wizard fighting a monster in Khazad-dum. That was a Tolkien angel taking on a Tolkian demon.

The best thing Gandalf ever did was bring the sun to those trolls in the Hobbit.
That scene was fucking awesome.

I think the stave's was the link to the source of their power

>> No.955399

He didn't really bring it.

He just trolled the trolls[lol]until the sun rose and caught them red-handed.

>> No.955397

Gandalf fought the Balrog for three fucking days straight. And won.

Don't. Fucking. Mess. With. Gandalf.

>> No.955400

to give you an idea of how powerful gandalf is..

Sauron and Gandalf are both Maiar, the difference between them being that Sauron doesn't hold back his power at all.

>> No.955405

I know, but I remember watching the animated Hobbit movie as a child, and I'm pretty sure it said something about him bringing the sun. Even if he didn't do that, what he did do was awesome in any case.

>> No.955407

And then died, woke up on the top of the fucking mountain, and climbed down it naked.

Dumbledore, because he's queer.

>> No.955410

Wat?

I need to watch this Hobbit movie now.
