Who would win Gandalf or Dumbledore?
Probably Gandalf because of wisdom. And Dumbledore doesn't have it in him to kill whereas Gandalf does it on a regular basis + he has a sword :)Gandalf is a Maia, a minor god or angel. He is naturally incorporeal, but can take on any form. He and a few others have been sent on a mission to help the peoples of Middle-earth against Sauron, a mission for which they have been clothed and bound in the form of old men; they are called the Istari, and mortals have called them "wizards". In Tolkien's world, "generic fantasy wizards" with spells, and magic tomes and potions do not exist. -- Dumbledore is a human and a "generic fantasy wizard", so they are completely different creatures in worlds with a different concept of power and magic, so they are not comparable....But if you absolutely had to put them in a fight with lethal intention, Gandalf would be vastly more powerful. And if you put Dumbledore against Gandalf in his limited "Gandalf the Grey" form, and Dumbledore could somehow kill that body, that would just set the Maia Gandalf free to use all of his power and knowledge again.Gandalf would win, he's immortal. Unlike Gandalf, Dumbledore can be killed.DumbledoreAlthough i do believe that Gandalf would kick ass, he isn't necessarily invincible, he can only be sent back ( like in lotr ) if his mission was to kill or stop Dumbledore. If it wasn't his mission he wouldn't be sent back, so Dumbledore could conceivably overcome his Gandalf the Grey form.PS--both being loving and caring characters if fantastic timeless fantasy works, they would not fight each other, but discuss wizard theories and contemplate elf lore!
What abilities and character traits does Bilbo have?
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.
What Creature is Gandalf?
Gandalf is a Maia, kind of an angelic spirit. He, naturally incorporeal, has been clothed in the shape of an old man for his mission to Middle-earth. Four other Maia in the shape of old men were sent to Middle Earth as well to help the Free Peoples resist Sauron. They were known as Istari or Wizards. Of the five only Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast are named. Only the fate of Gandalf and Saruman is told.
Does Grima Wormtongue like Eowen?
Yes he fantasised over her, the agreement with Saruman upon the fall of Rohan was that he would have her.
In Lord Of The Rings 1 what does Gandalf's sign like a Y mean in the letter?
The inverted "Y"- like letter is a dwarvish rune (in Cirth -- dwarvish rune system), equivalent to the letter "G" in English. It's meant as Gandalf's signature.
Where did JRR Tolkien find the name Gandalf?

How would you describe Gandalf?
Gandalf the Grey is one of 5 Maia Spirit Wizards that came into being somewhere during the Ages of the Stars in Middle earth. Maia's are powerful beings that were created by the Valar (Gods) as helpers of sorts. Maia generally take on characteristics of their masters, which is why other Maia spirits like balrogs, vampires, and watchers; created by the Valar God Morgoth, are evil in nature. Gandalf was ever the traveller of the 5 wizards. He learned from nature and befriended nearly all races of Middle Earth. He was strongly in touch with nature, and often times aided the nature clans of Middle Earth such as the Air spirits; The eagles, and the earth spirits; The ents and huorns. Like all Maia spirits, Gandalf can not die by the passage of time, only by being killed by a force greater than his own. After years of studying the world and travelling afar, Gandalf was approached by Cirdan the shipwright, one of the 3 elves to receive a ring of power., the other 2 being Elrond (Ring of healing) and Galadrial (Ring of Light). Cirdan possessed the ring of fire. Cirdan saw in his wisdom that Gandalf was destined to do great acts of good, and that he was far wiser being that of his wizard order, even moreso than the "book smart" Saruman the white. Upon consulting with Gandalf, Cirdan realized that Gandalf would do greater good with the ring of fire than he would, and gave it to him. This fire ring was legendary I believe either the ring itself, or the fire it produced was known as Arnor, which is why during the battle with the Balrog of Moria, gandalf proclaims himself as a servant of the flame of arnor. This account skips quite a bit of time in which not much of note happens, but nearing the ages of the Sun,great events began to unfold that Gandalf was destined to be a part in. He guided Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit from the shire, through a quest to the far reaches of the eastern mountains of middle earth to combat trolls, goblins, twisted beings of mordor, and even a Dragon. Gandalf then guided Frodo baggins as part of the fellowship of the ring through a quest to mordor to destroy the one ring, and defeat Sauron (Formely a balrog of Morgoth, turned human-like by Morgoth himself as a tool to try and eradicate mankind). During this time, the corruption by the dark lord that Saruman the White experienced is brought forth by the conflict between he and Gandalf. This marked a huge shift of power between evil and good, a balance that nature intends to keep just that; balanced. In the conflict between Gandalf and the Balrog of Moria in the fellowship of the ring, neither gandalf or the balrog was meant to come out alive of this conflict, thus one creature of great good, and one of evil leaving the world, and still maintaining the balance, but due to the shift in power towards evil, Gandalf was brought back to equalize this balance once more. Saruman the white was destined to pick up guiding the fellowship after gandalfs death, but as he was corrupted, gandalf returns to middle earth in "The Two Towers" to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli in the forest of the ents as Gandalf the White. He then picks up where Saruman SHOULD have, and sees the quest of the destruction of Sauron through to the end. After the defeat of Sauron, the balance is once again shifted, as nearly all evil from the world has been vanquished, so must a great amount of good pass from the world to maintain the ever fragile balance of life. To make up for the loss of evil, nearly all the elves of middle earth have passed through the great harbour (The grey havens) and taken boats to the Undying lands ("Heaven" more-or-less), where the Valar, maia, and the Omnipotent Illuvatar live. However, even this is not enough, Gandalf himself must board the last of the boats along with Elrond, Galadrial, Bilbo and Frodo, and pass to the undying lands. This ends the life of Gandalf the grey/white.
Does the wizard like or does not like Bilbo in the book hobbit?
Yes, the wizard(Gandalf) likes Bilbo very much. It is by the will of Gandalf that Bilbo comes along with the dwarves for the quest. His concern for Bilbo can be seen when all the dwarves come out from goblin's cave but Bilbo remains behind. Gandalf continues to visit Bilbo even after the end of dwarves quest.
