Who Would Win In A Fight, Harry Potter or Gandalf?

Post by _Everybody Wang Chung »

I would tend to think Gandalf would have the advantage because he wouldn't have to waste time repeating the spell like Harry Potter has to do.

Thoughts?

Gandalf. He is no mere wizard but one of the Maiar. This species were immortal and had great power imbued within them. Olorin was Gandalf's name in Valinor before he came to Middle Earth clothed as a man. He was known as one of the wisest of the Maiar. Gandalf puts Harry Potter to shame.

Gandalf the Grey or Gandalf the White? :P

Gandalf. It goes without saying. Grey or White.

Sorry but it is obvious that Potter would win. When you pit a lead character against a supporting cast character, who always wins?. If Potter dies the series is over, it is named after him after all. Come on people you have to think like the authors did to figure this one out!

Sheesh.

Gandalf would win hands down. Harry just had a little stick. Gandalf had that cool staff and a bitchen sword!

They would both die, simultaneously, and then both would come back to life in the next scene.
