When the Valar decided to send the Istari (also called Wizards) to Middle-earth to counsel and assist all those who opposed the Dark Lord Sauron, Manwë and Varda included Olórin among the five to be sent. At first, Olórin was nervous and described himself as too weak and afraid of Sauron. Manwë understood, and told Olórin that such was a reason why he should go, to overcome that fear. Furthermore, the One Ring, containing much of Sauron's power, presumably still existed somewhere. Thus, Manwë insisted that Olórin should go as the third, but Varda convinced him to send Olórin as the second instead. [4] He agreed, and prepared for Olórin's departure from the Undying Lands with the other four, arriving about the same time that the Necromancer appeared in Mirkwood. Tolkien, J. R. R. (1937).

Series Gandalf is known for being wise, warm, sometimes cranky, and often playful. Here are some of his most memorable quotes from the Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit.

I thought you must hate me too... I'm just a stupid Bossy Know-It-All! Who could possibly like me enough to stand up for me...?" Hermione lost it again and began sobbing uncontrollably.

[44] For guys with testosterone by the fist load (or just good genes) being about to grow a medium to long beard is one of the perks. This is when the hair begins to properly move away from the face, looking more 3D. It’s important to remember that while growing out a longer beard is exciting, it also requires a lot more work, like washing and conditioning, brushing, and regularly applying beard products. Not everyone can grow a mid-length beard, but for those who can, go into it understanding the effort required. a b c d e f g h Nelson, Charles W. (2002).

Gandalf the Grey, one of the most famous literary characters and one of the protagonists of J.R.R Tolkien’s critically acclaimed books, “Lord of the Rings”. His popularity has continually risen over the decades through multiple forms of media. And with the release of “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” trilogies, he’s solidified his name in pop culture as one of the strongest wizards of Middle Earth. When it comes to physical strengths, Gandalf has incredible eyesight. He can clearly seen not only in the dark but also deep into the wraith realm, which allows him to know if someone has been touched by a wraith. In addition, Gandalf has heightened senses that let him know when danger is nearby. He is a formidable fighter, adept at using both staff and sword, and an excellent rider. Bottom line: do not be deceived by Gandalf's mortal appearance as an old man, and do not underestimate him. Maher, Michael W. (2003).

Outside the Shire, Gandalf encounters the wizard Radagast the Brown, who brings the news that the Nazgûl have ridden out of Mordor—and a request from Saruman that Gandalf come to Isengard. Gandalf asks him to send out animals to observe the Nazgûl, and to report to him at Isengard. Gandalf leaves a letter to Frodo (urging his immediate departure) with Barliman Butterbur at the Prancing Pony, and heads towards Isengard. There, Saruman horrifies Gandalf by asking him to help him to obtain and use the Ring. Gandalf refuses, and Saruman imprisons him at the top of his tower. Gandalf is rescued by Gwaihir the Eagle, who comes to him as requested via Radagast. [T 13] Tolkien, J. R. R. (1954a). The Fellowship of the Ring. The Lord of the Rings. Boston: Houghton Mifflin.

Long beards and medium beards require similar care and maintenance, with the added consideration that long Gandalf-length beards will get dirty and oily, so they do require real washing and care. You’ll have to invest in all the grooming essentials once you reach this beard level to keep it looking fresh. How do I groom a long beard? Due to the fact that Rowling has stated that she downplayed the physical abuse of Harry by the Dursleys, at the behest of publishers who had her alter earlier drafts, I have simply reinstated the obvious, which is apparent from the bits Rowling left intact. So there will be a bit more mention of it than in canon, simply for the sake of realism, but I'm not going to go overboard on it either. A legend tells that Gandalf had been given by Yavanna the Elfstone of Eärendil, to bring to the peoples of Middle-earth as a token that the Valar had not forsook them. He gave this to Galadriel, bearer of one of the three Elven Rings and mighty among the Eldar, who prophesied that she would in turn pass it to one who would also be called Elessar.

Tolkien once described Gandalf as an angel incarnate; later, both he and other scholars have likened Gandalf to the Norse god Odin in his "Wanderer" guise. Others have described Gandalf as a guide-figure who assists the protagonists, comparable to the Cumaean Sibyl who assisted Aeneas in Virgil's The Aeneid, or to Virgil himself in Dante's Inferno. Scholars have likened his return in white to the transfiguration of Christ; he is further described as a prophet, representing one element of Christ's threefold office of prophet, priest, and king, where the other two roles are taken by Frodo and Aragorn.
