the one who isnt a faggot

The real question is who would've won if Gandalf had ended up going up against the Witch King.

LotR magic is a lot slower and weaker than Harry Potter magic. Gandalf could catch pinecones on fire and make bright lights. If he was serious maybe he could throw a fireball.

Meanwhile Dumbledore can shoot out paralyzing beams, teleport, cast various hexes, fly, etc. There's no contest, Dumbledore would win easily.

As a comparison of the universe power levels, consider that in LotR only the most powerful badass evil wizard on the planet could make a phylactery, but in Harry Potter some mudblood bastard child managed to make 7 with little effort. He even made one by accident!

Are you mad? Gandalf is literally a fucking demigod. Dumbedore would get his arse handed to him.

>demigod

that's just a word. A demigod in LotR is weaker than a powerful wizard in Harry Potter. Yeah he's a Demigod but he was still running scared from orcs and wargs. Being a "demigod" doesn't really help him out much in a fight.

Imagine if Dumbledore was in the same position as Gandalf was in The Hobbit when they were running from Orcs.

Well, first of all, Dumbledore could just instantly teleport everybody to the mountain, but if he wanted to fight he could have effortlessly knocked them all out from long range.

LotR demigods can tear down mountains and sheeeeiiiiiiiiit

fucking hate how that bitch JK rowling made shit so OP in her universe

fucking unblockable curse so OP

>I don't know lotr lore
Gandalf is a maiar (angel) who is sent to middle earth to GUIDE it's inhabitants to overcome sauron. He and the other wizards were forbidden from matching sauron in power. That said, if he wasn't forbidden from using his full power he could literally destroy dumbledore with a snap of his fingers.

it's not unblockable though, this is established in the very first book/movie

>a demi-god versus a school teacher

Hmm I wonder..

Who has more prep time?

>if he was a different character he could win!

that he can't do isn't really relevant, is it?

Anyway, he never established that he had any more power than he showed. The belief that he has hidden power is just fanfiction. He had to call for help to get off a tower for god sake.

Any proof that Gandalf specifically could do any of that? Not all the demigods had the same power level. I'll grant that some demigods could slap Dumbledor's shit easily, but Gandalf is not one of them.

>believing the meme magic

muh muh plot holes, they are so powerful but the gods say HE CANT USE HIS POWER

lmfao, he'd be transfigured into a piece of elephant dung in a millisecond even if he was "allowed" to use his powers that he clearly doesnt have as he never used them lol

avada kedavra + teleport = GG

oh no it cant be blocked, oh no RIP

Don't get me wrong though, the HP universe is fucking dumb but the magic in it is the most powerful magic ever written so far (maybe GOT can beat it due to the fact of resurrection but thats about it

Gandalf single-handedly killed a balrog, m8. Dumbledore can do his party tricks all he wants but he's still a total pussy.

>if he wasn't forbidden from using his full power he could literally destroy dumbledore with a snap of his fingers
>if he wasn't forbidden
>if
that's a big if

If you can't use your power you might as well not have it, Dumbledore wins

throwing your self in front of a bullet =/= blocking the bullet, you TOOK the bullet

This. Though he wouldn't have to fight, could simply use a word of command. Besides Dumbledore cant do shit without his wand

I feel like a lot of people in this thread just like the writing in LotR more so they feel the need to come up with excuses so it "wins" this fight

power levels don't have anything to do with how good the source material is... in fact I would say that overly powerful characters is a sign of bad writing and power creep.

Pic related. This guy could kill everybody in both LotR and Harry Potter universe by himself in about 5 minutes, including all the gods.

I was waiting for someone to post this

It's a no holds barred fight between two wizards. Gandalf isn't holding shit back.

Dumbledore can do wandless magic

If it's no holds barred then Dumbledore just casts death magic at the start and Gandalf died.

Anyway, still waiting for a source that Gandalf specifically has any more power than shown in the books (not another wizard, Gandalf)

The only God is Iluvatar. Valar and maiar are the same species (ainur) only different in power. Also, dbz has to have the most retarded writting ever.

and this is why the faggot poofer would win, because JKunt rowling is a hack and cant write, so she made all powerful unblockable curses

this is a pointless conversation. obviously Dumbledore would win but Gandalf is an infinitely better written and more beloved character. Gandalf is objectively the one who even if he lost the fight would be remembered and Dumbledore forgotten and hated

And Gandalf can catch Dumbs clothes on fire just by looking at them

Gandalf can't die, dumbass, he's a god.

>Anyway, still waiting for a source that Gandalf specifically has any more power than shown in the books
You obviously haven't read the books beyond the LoTR trilogy.

didnt even read the second post lol autismo

>also the faggot poofer can erase minds sooooo yeah lol OP as fuck hack writing

Oh, wizards can't die? Somebody should have told that to Saruman.

Well, he did die to such a massive and amazingly powerful spell that it's understandable that he died anyway... oh wait no, he died from a fucking arrow. A normal arrow.

He's forbidden.

>and this is why the faggot poofer would win, because JKunt rowling is a hack and cant write, so she made all powerful unblockable curses
Even if Gandalf couldn't out-magic Dumbledore -which he could, but just supposing- he would rinse him in hand to hand combat. Dumbledore is a frail old man who can barely walk right, Gandalf is an invincible god who batters Uruks to death with a stick and jumped off a cliff to kill a hundred-foot tall fucking fire demon with a sword.

>its a vs thread

And look at that. Its shit in under 10 posts.

ffs his name is dumbledor,he already lost at life with that shit sandwich of hand dealt to him.

can easily dodge unblockable curses, like harry does from book 4 onwards

No, in LoTR he's forbidden because he isn't allowed to influence man because blah blah etc, but Sauron is dead, and Gandalf has nothing else on his plate, so, if Dumbledore has no effect on middle earth and is purely on a vendetta against Gandalf, Gandalf would not be restricted in any way, shape or form.

his name is albus lol

it literally translates to "white". god Rowling is a hack

Saruman was a naughty boy and needed to be removed from middle earth so he could catch a slap from his elders. Of course they let him die, how else were they going to get him on the naughty step?

Could Sauron with the one ring beat Voldemort with all of his horcruxes?

So his name = WHITE BUMBLEBEE

Lol, just... lol.

White Bumblebee vs White Wizard.

This question triggers my anus.

Yes.

Anyone can kill a horcrux or Voldemorte (providing all horcrux' are dead, don't give me BS about only harry can kill, harry was horcrux that's why prophecy)

Easy:

Gandalf: "Dumblendore, your Wand is broken".

Gandalf was essentially told by god to avoid using his powers during the events of lotr.

>Don't get me wrong though, the HP universe is fucking dumb but the magic in it is the most powerful magic ever written so far

not even close, actually.

So were the balrogs and two got killed by pussy elves

So did two elves

Tell that to sauron, who is a maiar just like gandalf

>13 years old on iphones telling a multi million how to write.

No, gods who sent Gandalf didn't knew about the Balrog. So when Gandalf came back, they realised he was underpowered, so they sent him back with more power.

Dumbledore because Harry Potter is kind of bullshit. Gollum could fuck up any house elf though.

>. So when Gandalf came back, they realised he was underpowered, so they sent him back with more power.

there we have it, even if dumbledor was stronger which he isnt. gandalf just gets buffed with the next patch and becomes stronger

it's not really unblockable. dumbledore blocked it with either his own spells or statues when he fought voldemort. Harry blocked it with a disarming spell in goblet of fire, but that might be a special case.it's at least easily dodgeable.

The balrogs would not have had their maiar powers limited. And they got punked by elves. Gandalf also isn't fucking doomsday

Dumbledore has better magic (as actually shown in movies/books), but Gandalf outclasses in every other way.

Strength, durability, intelligence, etc.

I'm not sure if sauron actually died, but was in such a state that he could never recover into physical form.

Morgoth was cast into the void, but I'm pretty sure sauron was actually destroyed

It's not buff. It's more like.
>"Oh, you had to fight Balrogs? That's why failed? Then you know what, go back, and this time you can use more of your powers"

Wizard was only his physical form, that he took when he came to ME. We know about his real origins and powers very little.

Sauron's spirits is still wondering ME, but he's unable to do anything.

>implying elves aren't actually hard as fuck

If Gandalf can get in close he has it. Harry Potter characters can't do cqc.

They're both faggots though

No.

House Elf magic is most powerful magic in HP universe.

Guns are most powerful weapon in HP universe.

He doesn't block killing curse, just dodges. Since you HAVE to shout the words and dumble + voldys fight is all quick cast silent magics.

>for now

I'm on an Android, thank you very much.

That's like saying Faust could take out the archangel Gabriel.

as already mentioned, Dumbledore can cast magic without a wand

im 12 and wat is this

I don't expect Tolkien rising from his grave in any foreseeable time.

Serious question, who would have won in a fight, Sauron or Tom Bombadil?

Michael > Lucifer > Raphael > Gabriel

Ok sure, but if Dumbledore was in character he'd never fight Gandalf anyway. I think this fight scenario assumes there's no holds barred.

Last time Gandalf and his ilk went at it, they sunk a continent.

Just pray to the gods that no one does a girl with the dragon tattoo on him.

>tfw it's only a matter of time before this happens and GRRM is probably already considering it

is the unfinished tales worth a read? i saw this map in it

Nice list. Where is Mephistopheles on that Dragonball Z-tier power rankings?

>no one does a girl with the dragon tattoo on him.
what?
You mean reboot? I haven't seen them, are they this terrible?

Did gandalf personally sink the island? No? Then it's not relevant.

You know, a human dropped a nuclear bomb once IRL. So, should we consider all human characters to have the power to drop a nuke whenever they want?

Just because somebody else of his species could do something doesn't mean Gandalf can.

Some other writer took it upon himself to write the next book in the series because Steig Larsson is dead and had no say in it.

Sauron couldn't even send his servants to find his ring that had part of his soul in it. How the hell would he be able to locate 7 horcruxes?

I thought they were referring to raping his corpse, but they already made The Hobbit trilogy

the tolkien family is incredibly protective
probably not gonna happen until a bunch of them die off

>You know, a human dropped a nuclear bomb once IRL. So, should we consider all human characters to have the power to drop a nuke whenever they want?

That's a bullshit analogy. We're not talking about a government body of technology here, we're talking about personal power. A fairer analogy would be that just because Bruce Lee could knock someone over with a 1 inch punch doesn't mean everyone else can. Although, of course, if anyone else put the same dedication into training that he did then they absolutely could.

Oh, that's sad. I know this can happen sometimes, one famous czech author wrote a two really good post-apo books, but then simply refused to continue. One of his fans then write a continuation, but nobody really cared.

What happens after Tolkien's son dies? Who will get the rights?

Please don't remind me. I'm trying to forget.

Gandalf: "Dumblendore, your head is broken"

i would have thought this was a really worthwhile thread when I was 13

Copyright only lasts 70 years after the author dies; it will stay in his estate for another 30-odd years and they it will be open season for anyone to use.

>phylactery
>a small leather box containing Hebrew texts on vellum, worn by Jewish men at morning prayer as a reminder to keep the law.
huh

40-odd, that is

... but I've been 15 for a while now so I spend most of my time discussing superpowers in endless threads about the MCU

Will be picked up by the ruddy, wobbling spawn of GRRM. Calling it.

Sauron would run over that prancing faggot without breaking a sweat.

I know for a fact he stops a few by putting items in front of him such as statues. harry also stopped a spoken avada kedavra at the end of goblet of fire. even if they had sister wands, harry's wand should not be able to cast a counter-spell if no counter-spell exists. he also had a dbz-beam fight with voldemort at the end of the series. the only way that it's unblockable is that protection charms such as protego don't work against it. But most higher level spells aren't stopped by protection charms either.
