Gandalf is really a Maia, a lesser Ainu (the plural is Maiar and Ainur). In other words, something like a minor god. (The background story is really monotheistic, with one supreme god, Eru Iluvatar, having supreme authority.) But the Maiar don't reveal themselves with great power; instead, they guide people and other creatures through sound advice.

Gandalf's order is the "Istari", which is the best answer for what "type" of wizard he is. Additionally, he wears one of the three Elven Rings of Power, "Narya", the ring of fire, which grants him additional wizard-like powers.

Gandalf is one of the Istari, so it's probably best to say he was created a wizard and remained one throughout his life.
Old wise man Archetype
Sam is thought of as simple yet stout. The name 'Samwise' is a hobbit joke that means half-wise.
Frodo's name means "wise", which is an excellent counter to Sam's name (Samwise), which means "half-wise". Frodo is presented throughout the books as being stalwart and persistent. He was benevolent and caring, and the ultimate good guy. He was "wise" because he knew that he was the only one who could get the ring to Mt. Doom, and further when he understood that Gollum was the only way they'd get into Mordor.
i can tell you a few off memory: samwise gamgee - sidekick frodo baggins - hero/the innocent gandalf - wise mentor gollum - trickster/alter ego/outcast aragorn - the father figure eowyn - the heroine/the mother figure that's all i can think of hope it helps!
Gandalf is...a bit of an enigma. I fancy he rather enjoys being mysterious. Gandalf the Grey was merry-quick to laugh, but also cross at times. Very closelipped, could be as difficult to extract information from as an Elf. He was not proud, as was Saruman, and considered even the hobbits to be worth learning from. By contrast, Gandalf the White was more solemn and serious, but more inclined to giving information.

The hobbits of the Shire might describe describe Gandalf as wise, powerful, and fun-filled.(Gandalf is over 3000 years old!)
One example of The Mentor archetype in literature is Gandalf from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series. Gandalf serves as a wise and powerful guide to the protagonist Frodo, providing guidance, wisdom, and protection throughout his journey to destroy the One Ring. Gandalf's role as a mentor is pivotal in shaping Frodo's growth and development as a hero.
Ian McKellen isn't in any of the Harry Potter movies. You are probably confusing The Lord of the Rings movies with the Harry Potter movies. Ian McKellan plays the wizard Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings movies. The Harry Potter movies also feature a wise, elderly yet powerful wizard with a long white beard -- Albus Dumbledore -- but he is played by Richard Harris in the first two Harry Potter movies, and Michael Gambon in all the subsequent ones.
