Gandalf | Tolkien Wiki Known for his iconic quote "You shall not pass!", Gandalf's selfless heroism and strategic brilliance make him a beloved and enduring character in fantasy literature
Wizard Staff | Tolkien Wiki Gandalf uses magic in igniting the crown to light acorns and pinecones and brighten the Fells of Rhudaur The Necromancer destroys the staff in Dol Guldur as Gandalf tries to fend off Sauron's dark magic Gandalf’s staff in “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” has a crown similar to that of Gandalf, the White's staff
What exactly does Narya do for Gandalf? - The Tolkien Forum Cirdan the Shipwright gave Narya to Gandalf upon his arrival to Middle-Earth 'Take now this Ring,' he said; 'for thy labours and thy cares will be heavy, but in all it will support thee and defend thee from weariness For this is the Ring of Fire, and herewith, maybe, thou shalt rekindle
Gandalf vs. Merlin | The Tolkien Forum Gandalf was really a motivator among ME, not a powerful spell-caster But he could be when he needed to be, and we never got to see when this was, except possibly with the Balrog, but I think that was just a taste Merlin on the other hand, was a powerful spellcaster, who was constantly using magic to conjur, alter, destroy, and mystify things
A Question to Gandalf: Why the mind-Fog concerning the Balrog? The Wise, like Gandalf or Elrond seem to be particularly sensitive to such moments of "chance" and interpret it correctly, like Gandalf's meeting with Thorin in the Quest for Erebor, Gandalf's interpretation of Bilbo finding the Ring as something more than chance, the decision to let Merry and Pippin join the company, and many other moments
Gandalf declining to speak about the West | The Tolkien Forum The above all speaks, of course, to the 'in-universe' aspects of why Gandalf was not allowed to speak to the issues at hand We then must drop a half-a-layer deeper and consider Tolkien 's "intent, purpose, and methodology" for the whole work, and how he viewed the issues of "morality and religion" should be included and handled in Fantasy work
Gandalf the Black? - The Tolkien Forum I was reading "The White Rider" in "The Two Towers" last night and towards the end, Gandalf says something along the lines of "I'm Gandalf the White, but Black is more powerful" What exactly does that mean? Does it mean there's a group of black wizards, or that he isn't stonger than evil Sauron?
What if Gandalf took the ring? - The Tolkien Forum What if Gandalf had kept the one ring? Let's say he took the ring from Frodo, at the Shire, before the big journey began What would have happened? Would he have succeeded in conquering Middle-Earth and, if so, how?
HELP!: What race is Gandalf? - The Tolkien Forum Gandalf is a Maia, as ithy said, but on Middle-earth he takes the form of an old man, although he is a wizard with somewhat 'supernatural' powers He is one of the Istari, which you probably learned from reading the Appendices
Why Bilbo? - The Tolkien Forum This has probably been brought up before, but I have not been here long Anyway, why did Gandalf choose Bilbo to accompany the dwarves on their quest? Did Gandalf even know Bilbo? (I think he knew one of Bilbo's relatives) but why Bilbo?
