MERCILESSHANDOFPLAGUES0: sorry, that is capped to get your attention in case you intend to post again. What is the matter with you? Was the F U really necessary? In case you haven't noticed Dumbledore and Gandalf are both fictional characters; though it pains me to say it. GET A LIFE! Also, IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED MANY HP FANS ARE ALSO LOTR FANS and as one of that particular group of fans I found your post very insulting. Once again, GET A LIFE!

Bones Spoiler alert! Booth and Bones are gonna kiss under the misltoe *faints*

BOOTH AND BONES!!! thats what i thought it was howd you find that out????

none of the old dudes who played dumbledoreare better than the dude who played gandalf...gandalf had a certain class..and powerful aura....dumble vs gandalf...gandalf could so take him down...GO LOTR!! who ever did the casting for lotr ...they really know what they are doing unlike the peeps who cast for hp.... how could the dude who plays dumbledore insult the dude who plays gandalflike that??! he was super super awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! return o theking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did state that almost rudely, but i still uphold that compared to gandalf dumbledore is a measly being and i still think hes a wimp. Dumbledore was said to be the most powerful wizard of his age but dies in a situation that could easily be avoided and sends a kid to take out the darkest wizard of all time. Gandalf in my opinion was wiser and a more powerful in many ways

ok, I do think Gandalf would kick Dumbledore's ass very badly. But I cannot see them fighting.

Someone explain to me how Gandalf is better, please! I wouldn't know, cuz I've never even read LOTR...maybe I should...

Dumbledore is pretty stupid to begin with. yeah hes wise but gandalfs been around for 2000 years so he beats him there. Just look at all the times hes been tricked in the books. and like spew said gandalf is like a demi-god, dumbledore is just a mortal. Gandalf is skilled in war too and not just against a few stupid death eaters, he takes out dragons and orcs and trolls and demons, then defeats sauron in mirkwood (with the help of the council) and in mordor (with the help of everyone else) while dumbledore can only take down grindelwald and some death eaters. not even a wizard that is mortal so i doubt he would do better against an immortal

CRYSTAL ARE YOU KIDDING YOU NEED TO READ LOTR!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAA!!!!!

I have always said that Sir Ian McKellen would have made the best Dumbledore, but what can u do...and P.S. Dumbledore would so kick ***, lol.

ive met ian mckellen. hahaha. he is so lovely, he's just like dumbledore. sweet and gentle. and gay too! BET NO ONE ELSE HERE HAS MET IAN MCKELLEN!! HEHE

Two completly different books Two completly different characters taking place in two completly different times xD ..... bu t >_> I second what Grnd3lW4Ld posted AGREE AGREE but seriously. if you're all going to compare them at LEAST read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings and have some knowledge of what Gandalf is capable of doing before saying "OMG DUMBLEDORE WOULD WIIN!!!!" because you have no idea :x

Thanks Grindles...Hey, did you know that Grindelwald is a city in Switzerland? I didn't know that! ...Haha, Spew...should I? I'll find time during the Christmas break of something...I just can't fit another book into my schedule at the present! Which one's the first book?

i said before dumbledore would win...but Ian McKellen would totally be Micheal Gambon in duel and Albus vs. Micheal......ALBUS all the WAAYY BABY and McKellen vs. Dumbledore...DUMBLEDORE!! !!!! i think that covers all the possible combos possible

*pulls out bean bag and sits down, munching on a cookie* sigh...its been a long day. too much homework. so, any cheesecakeians here?

still a discussion going on here move up PLS

what discussion?

Moony...Grinds...are you guys still there? Man..where is everybody??

dunno, i think its safe to assume it has something to do with the news post tho

In an hypothetic duel between them, It's simple: - Gandalf is not a mere human or wizard but a maiar (a semi-angelic entity) - Gandalf CAME BACK from death...Dumbledore didn't. ;)

Right...well, how's life treating you, Grinds? School going good and stuff?

oh hi honey, grinds! *pulls out two more bean bags*

Hey Moony! How have you been?

lol sorry i was busy watching heroes i didnt watch the computer. so anyway hi!

lOl, cool! Hey, I've gotta go now...sorry! But enjoy your show! :) Love, HoNeY

its ok! see you later!!!!

OKay, I'll try to get back on lata! Comments are reaally slow today...:) bye!

bye! im getting off too.

At the risk of sounding like a total know-it-all jerk, wizards in Lord Of The Rings aren't comparable at all to Potterverse wizards, because they aren't even technically people. LOTR wizards are basically the "angels" of Middle Earth. ...I'm such a nerd.

Haha...Thanks for clearing that up, sonicbluth!

Er, sonicbluth, I wouldn't exactly call you a nerd. Especially seeing as you are wrong. They are not the angels of Middle Earth.

I wouldn't call them angels but they are one level under the gods/valars(sorry if Im wrong at what you call them its been a while since I read Tolkin) so sonicbluth is right. and by the way sonicbluth you are on an HP website. I think most people here read Lotr so we are all nerds.

My first thought was that Dumbledore easily would win over Gandalf. But then I realised that is because Dumbledore in his world is so much more powerful than any other. But Gandalf is only the most powerful next to many other powerful people, so he just seems less powerful in comparison to Dumbledore. But Gandalf would probably win against Dumbledore in a duel. I do prefer D to G though. D is so much more personal and warm than G. Anna www.option. blogg.se

Well, I always liked the way Richard Harris played Dumbledore, but I just can't believe he said that about Ian McKellen! A bad actor, hello?! Up to this day I am standing in complete and utter awe of his Gandalf portrayal. The man rocks!!!!!!! And he's gay, too, so he would've been even more appropriate for Dumbledore than Gambon, hehe. I'd have loved Ian McKellen as Dumbledore, that would've been really interesting and no doubt amazing. I don't really think the two wizards can be compared in this way ("the original"), both are unique and wonderful in their own way, don't you think?

Everyone who is saying "dubledore" have you even read any part of LOTR? Or are you basing your debate off of his charecter in LOTR? His Charecter in the Movie is a meaer fraction of his power. Heck, he's not even human, he's what they call a Maiar...basically an Arch-Angel. Futher more, he was was a Valar, the stronger and closer to hte creater of the two Maiar factions; the other being corrupted by Melkor (evil); others in this faction; Suarmon, Balrogs, ect. BUT WAIT GANDALF WAS KILLED BY A BLAROG OMG HAX! Galdalf outdone by a Balrog - and returned much more powerful then before. Dumbledore outdone by a ring - became more of a decrebid old man.

ok, back on pages 50 and 51, hallowssaint says that "Gandalf would totally pwn on Dumbledore's gay self...." *cough* ahem...Sir Ian McKellen is gay. By the way. Now. I think that since Sir Ian and Michael are such good friends that "how to play a wizard" should be one of the FIRST things they should discuss. I mean really! GAMBON NEEDS ALL THE HELP HE CAN GET! HE'S A TERRIBLE DUMBLEDORE AND I HATE HIM AND I DON'T CARE IF RICHARD HARRIS THINKS IAN IS A BAD ACTOR! BECAUSE HE'S NOT AND AAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNYY YYYYYYYYYONE WOULD BE A BETTER DUMBLEDORE THAN GAMBON! I mean...Emma Watson would, and she's a teenage girl! That's how bad Gambon is! I will rejoice when Alan Rickman finally pwns that hack and launches him off of the astronomy tower! I will sing the Hallelujah chorus, and I don't care if they throw me out of the theater! I....DON'T....CARE! BECAUSE I HATE HIM! Ok. I'm done now. and Marvin, i think they are both amazing...BUT BOROMIR IS MY LOTR HERO!!!

No Way! Dumbledore Would Well Beat Gandalf! Dumbledore Rules!

Why does it have to be either? They're both different characters (though they do have similarities), so it's not really possible to compare them... xx

An immortal cannot die. Even though I haven't read LotR [and I don't intend to... not my cup of tea], I'm not going to argue that a mortal can beat somebody that cannot die. Of course Dumbledore wouldn't fight Gandalf, so the whole discussion is pointless. Hey; Instead, let's bash Gambon some more...!

how do two things being different make them incomparable? some misconceptions. gandalf can die through violence - similar to an elf. also, he is not of the valar, those are the strongest i think 14 of the maiar. and not all but the valar were corrupted by morgoth. I agree with marvin that hes potrayed as weaker in the films, in the movie hes defeated by sauruman but we dont see anything like that in the book. even though hes not valar hed still easily defeat dumbledore.

LOTR is so much more sophisticated compared to hp. im a big hp fan but the complexity of lotr completely beats jkr....the quality if the film was amazing as well...very entertaining and mature ..gandalf i have to agree is way wiser than dumbledore...for instance if gandalf woud never have foolishly tried on that horcrux ring thing..and he would prolly call dumbledore a fool of a took for doing something stupid like that. theya re incompatible ..his coolness completely outways dumbledore's existence.....GANDALF WINNNSSS!!!!!!!!

im a fan of both lotr and hp. but i STILL think that dumbledore can and will kick gandalf's ass--bring him back to life so he would realize what happened, and then kill him again--in a duel.

agreed ginnypotter and amortentia dumbledore is too much of a wuss to kill anything really, and again going by the fact that he cant even kill a mortal wizard I doubt he can kill gandalf

gandalf would not win in a fight because dumbeldore made voldamort well scared

so he made him scared. big deal. he still dueled him and lost (didnt win anyway) look at dumbledores accomplishments compared to gandalfs and then tell me hes a better wizard. What is dumbledores biggest again? getting a 17 year old kid to fight his battles for him?

I wish Ian McKellen had taken the part of Dumbledore, he fits it soooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo MUCH better than Michael Gambon. I'm so sad, because in the HBP movie no on, absoloutly NO ONE, is gonna miss Dumbledore!!!!!!! The movies are soooooooooooooooooooo screwed up.

I think Gandalf is stronger emotionally too; he is offered power which he would want to use to do good, and resists it because he knows his weaknesses. Dumbledore died because he wanted power for power's sake.
