| | Gandalf: Biography and Much More From Answers.com |
 | | Gandalf is initially unable to accompany Frodo and his companion Sam, because he goes to seek counsel from the head of his order, Saruman the White, but he rejoins them in Rivendell as the second half of The Fellowship of the Ring begins. | | | Many of Gandalf's attributes seem to be derived from the Norse god Odin's incarnation as "the Wanderer", an old man with one eye, a long white beard, a wide brimmed hat, and a staff. | | | Most denizens of Middle-earth incorrectly assumed Gandalf was a Man (human), although he was really a Maia spirit (approximately equivalent to an angel). |

| | Gandalf and Bilbo being present was wonderful since they were familiar characters from The Hobbit. | | | Such as Bilbo's long life and good looks, the rumors about the wealth (although we know from whence it came), and finally Gandalf's little insinuations as the the ring's origins. | | | I over came my fear of "the large book" and started to read I fell straight into Middle earth again but more deeply than when reading The Hobbit. |
