I choose crushing pussy, bra

I will as well.

But seriously, Dumbledore.

[Kane Knight]

Wasn't Gandalf essentially a God?

[Verbose Minch]

Gandalf by far. Gandalf is OP as fuck.

I wish we had a UFC countdown style show for this battle. Would be a great parody. You'd have footage of them training and talking smack about each other, but also talking about what they've been doing in training camp. Mix it with Joe Rogan's hyperbole, "Dumbledore's defensive wizardry guard is world class!" Then they'd talk to members of their training staff; Harry, Ron, Frodo, Aragorn etc.

Krispy'd know what I was talking about.

My answer is Gandalf. I like the Harry Potter books better than LOTR because LOTR is like reading a textbook, but Gandalf is simply just a badder motherfucker.

If Ron was helping Dumbledore train, he must have been planning to take a dive.

Which isn't that different from his exit in the books.

Ron would more do things like acquire materials such as horcruxes and so forth. He's pretty good at that. Snape would be his sparring partner.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Hermione would be his corner man, helping with strategy... Harry would be the spy in Gandalf's camp (invisibility cloak and all)

K, don't know how I have ever had sex.

[Kris P Lettus]

Gandalf

Him smoking Halfing Leaf is like Popeye eating spinach..

:shifty:

[The Rogerer]

Harry Potter is a load of rubbish

[XCaliber]

Gandalf would kick Dumbledore's ass no doubt about it.

[Kane Knight]

Mitt Rogney was never a child.

[The Rogerer]

I had taste as a child. Hated Narnia back then.

Cena wins there we go

Maybe I missed some stuff having only seen the movies and not read the books, but does Gandalf really do anything magical other than make fireworks, die and come back, perform an exorcism, be really persuasive to gullible armies, and have a giant pet bird? I mean, those things are cool and all, but not exactly handy in a fight. He was able to push Saruman around a little, I guess, but Dumbledore fought off two dark lords and his protection spells were pretty badass.

So you tasted children.

Gandalf was pretty powerful, though JRR Tolkien did not believe in the notion of "Show, don't tell." Or editing. Or finishing a thought in under thirty pages. A lot of Gandalf's potential came in backstory and essays that did not get picked up in the movies.

The dude was practically a walking deus ex machina, and his revival literally was.

"Your kind can regenderate like Time Lords, but you're really really dead this time. But wait! An all-powerful being has swooped in to keep you from dying."

Even dem couldn't save Dumbledore.

I've read a little of the backstory of Gandalf and shit. Basically, Gandalf is sent from the gods of the universe to help people on their way. He can only really interfere when it is imperative he do so. That's why it doesn't seem like he does much.

That's my understanding of it at least.

Even more lore faggotry:

The reason Gandalf was revived was because Saruman had gone full heel turn, so there was no white wizard anymore. Thus Gandalf basically got to level up because he beat the shit out of the Balrog.
