Gandalf: What do you mean? Do you mean to wish me a good morning or do you mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not? Or perhaps you mean to say that you feel good on this particular morning. In honor of the 20th anniversary of “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” (yep, it came out in 2001, I feel old now too!) AND the upcoming television series that’s in the works, we’ve put together this list of all the best Gandalf quotes.įrom the books and films, reading these will certainly remind you why Gandalf is such a beloved character. Peter Jackson’s film adaptations of Tolkien’s works are the most famous, and, of course, Sir Ian McKellen brings Gandalf to life in a way no other actor my ever be able to match. He usually acts as a mentor or guide, and even, occasionally, a warrior, in his quest to help keep the evil of Sauron at bay. The mysterious character of Gandalf the Gray features in many of Tolkien’s works, most notably The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy but also in The Silmarillion. Author J.R.R Tolkien created multiple languages, lore, books and hundreds of characters, perhaps none as well-known or iconic as the wizard Gandalf.
