Nonetheless, despite Gimli’s continued and repeated arguments against entering Fangorn, the Three Hunters do so, and make camp there. Suddenly Gimli looked up, and there just on the edge of the firelight stood an old bent man, leaning on a staff, and wrapped in a great cloak; his wide-brimmed hat was pulled down over his eyes.

During the Third Age, while Sauron's 'dark spirit of malice' was increasing over Middle-earth, the Valar chose the Istari, missionaries from among the Maiar, to go to Middle-earth and help the peoples. Manwë selected Olórin, who, at first, did not wish to go, as he feared Sauron. However, Manwë said that it was all the more reason why he should go....
Around T.A. 1100, the Istari and the Eldar discovered that some evil entity resided at Dol Guldur in Mirkwood. Dark shapes moved in the forest and evil began to multiply in the woods. Some thought a Nazgûlhad returned to torment the world, or some new evil was arising. Gandalf was unsure, and feared that perhaps Sauron himself might have returned. ...
Gandalf would visit the Shire occasionally and participate in the Midsummer-eve parties of the Old Took where he impressed young Hobbits with his fireworks, and his stories about Dragons, Goblins and princesses. He was thus known to be "responsible for so many quiet lads and lasses going off into the Blue for mad adventures". He also met a relative...
Despite the Council's hopes, Sauron was not weakened by this attack. He had foreseen the move that drove him from Mirkwood, and his retreat was but a feint. Ten years after the attack, Sauron declared himself openly in Mordor in 2951 and rebuilt Barad-dûr. The White Council met for one last time in 2953 to debate about the Rings of Power. Saruman q...
Gandalf returned to the Shire on 12 April T.A. 3018 and proved to Frodo that Bilbo's ring was the ancient One Ring which the Dark Power of Mordor was looking for. He told Frodo that he gathered much of this information by interrogating the creature Gollum. Frodo exclaimed that Gollum should have been killed, however Gandalf speculated that perhaps ...
In Minas Tirith, Gandalf and the remaining members of the Fellowship reunited. At the coronation of King Elessar, Gandalf, at Aragorn's request, set the crown upon the King’s head, and declared "Now come the days of the King, and may they be blessed while the thrones of the Valar endure!". Thus Gandalf ushered in the new age of men. After the coron...

Bilbo and Gollum tell each other a series of riddles. Bilbo’s riddles have answers that reflect his life in hobbit-town: the sun, flowers, eggs, etc. Gollum tells riddles about the things he’s most familiar with: the dark, fish, the wind, etc. Though Gollum and Bilbo have trouble guessing each other’s riddles, they trade correct answers ...
Though his history and character are more fully explored in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, Gandalf remains a looming mystery in The Hobbit, a constant reminder that Middle-Earth is more vast and cryptic than Bilbo realizes. A powerful wizard, Gandalf generally prefers to keep his powers and motives closely guarded.
3 days ago · Like the Stranger mystery, the questions surrounding the Dark Wizard's story are a bit exhausting. However, unlike the Stranger (and Halbrand), this Rhûn villain isn't a main character. Rings of Power can get away with maintaining this mystery a little longer without needlessly holding back the plot. So long as the series sticks with similar ...

Oct 5, 2024 · The Rings of Power's Stoors inadvertently gave Gandalf his name. The Stoors were calling the Stranger "Grand-Elf" in the absence of having a name for him. Nori explained in the season 2 finale that this was because they assumed he was an Elf, not having encountered many people like him. This is a fabrication of showrunners Patrick McKay and J.D ...
