Hello everyone, so the other night at dinner I am sitting in the dining
hall discussing this class with my friends. We were totally nerding out and
began to debate the ultimate topic:
Who would win in a fight Gandalf or
Dumbledore?
We were completely divided down the middle between
the two wizards. Does anyone wish to express their side? Our main arguments were
(*based solely on the movies*) :
Pro Dumbledore
1.
He is knowledgeable on most things magic, whereas Gandalf had to go and do
research.
2.
He had the power to do the death spell the ultimate curse.
3.
Dumbledore was in possession of the elder wand the most powerful of the wands.
4. Dumbledore was
able to touch his evil ring (the horcrux) granted it was slowly killing him…..Gandalf
could not touch the ring.
Pro
Gandalf
1.
He was always in the midst of battle. He fought
orcs, and goblins.
2.
(as my brother likes to quote) He fell through
fire and water and fought the Balrog on the highest peak of the lowest dungeon
and won.
3.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. On the
other hand, in Gandalf’s case, what kills you makes you stronger and you come
back with a mission and are more powerful than ever.
Personally I am for Dumbledore, because I am not convinced that if Gandalf
got hit with that forbidden curse he would come back again….Any opinions?
…..or should we just toss them both aside and crown the winner doe-y
eyed Merlin?
