Gandalf vs. Dumbledore

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! Dumbledore is the most POWERFUL wizard! He had the fucking Elder Wand, which allows you to do your spells and makes them sooo much more powerful! And about Snape, he told Snape to kill him cause it was apart of the plan to stop Voldemort. Man get yo stuff skraight.

Gandalf wins. Because gandalf is maiar, he is immortal and even if his body dies his spirit can not. He has powers dumbledor cant even dream of. He was restricted to use his powers in the books so if they did fight i think IIlvitar would let him use his full power and if that happened all the wizards in harry potter could not stop him.

I think Chuck Norris would beat both of them… at the same time

Jesus Christ. Anyone that thinks Dumbledore has an icy fighting chance in hell against Gandalf is foolishly mistaken. Honestly, if Dumbledore was half as powerful as you Potter fanatics (I’m a fan, but not a huge one by any means) would like to think, then why didn’t he face Voldemort and destroy him in his infinite wisdom and power? Dumbledore was an old man, and no wand can make an aging, senile wizard into a powerhouse.

Well they both die in the end…but I would have to say Gandalf just because he’s a way better fighter than Dumbledore

Jus so people know, Avade Kedavra attacks the soul, not the body. Therefore Gandalf is immune to Avada Kedavra, his soul is immortal, But his body is prone, in which Gandalf has many Protective spells, Such as the The Flame of Arnor – as we see when he fights the balrog, such a beats couldn’t harm him when he used the spell. Gandalf also CHOSE to fall into the ravine with the Balrog, he could have easily pulled himself up, but chose to fall. Gandalf is a very powerful wizard, whop unforetunately we don’t see in action as we should. But considering he can break weapons with no problem, deflect spells with his hands, and is immune to fire spells, another expmple of where saruman fires a blast of fire at him and no damage is done. Gandalf would hands down win. 

Dumbledore is powerful, no doubt, he does have the elder wand, immense years of experience and apperation, etc.
But considering Gandalf was in the choir that created the known world (i think, even if he only held the triangle), i have to tip the hat towards him. Even considering whats only in the lord of the rings books, Gandalf fights of the Nazgul atop Weathertop on his own, with lighting flying everywhere. He has the potential to great magic as well, but vowed not to use it to Manwe when he set off across the sea. Plus Gandalf fought the balrog in the lake at the bottom of moria, chased it up a massive flight of stairs for a couple of days then fought it again – i.e massive stamina.

You guys made my day knowing that people are this serious about something like this is awesome.  I personally think that it depends on who’s made up universe you are in if you dress like harry potter when you go see the movies I think that you hold Gandolf to the British magic world standard created by J. K. Rowling and don’t see Gandolf as a deity or whatever he is so since when he battled Sarumon all they could do is push each other into walls so you think Dumbledore would win. But if are constantly trying on rings and preying you turn invisible, You probably hold Dumbledore to the middle earth standard and compare him to the deity that Gandolf is and you know that since Gandolf is a more powerful being he naturally is more powerful and would blow the shit out of Dumbledore. haha 2 awesome book series. I love them both I think next someone should write a logical explanation as to how Dumbledore and Gandolf are fighting each other and the reason they decided to fight. 

My money is on Gandalf all the way. He has probably forgotten more useless spells that he doesn’t use anymore than Dumbledore ever learned. He is just that old. Because this is a theoretical fight, we have to asume that both fighters can use all of their skills and are not bound by moral issues. Gandalf directly defeats two demigods and indirectly deafets one if not the most powerfull demigod.There have been some bad arguments on Gandalf’s behalf though. For instance, I don’t think that he could break Dumbledore’s wand. He can back to stop Sauron and his alies. When he broke Sarumon’s staff he was removining him from the order. More or less de-godding him. That was using authority not power. Dumbledore isn’t in his order.

dumbledore is dead in the ground,therefore gandalf wins

wtf… a bit ashamed of reading all the comments
but gandalf would win his magic shield protects him from all spells. So Dumbledor spells are useless. wahts left is a old man who may can counter gandalf spells. But even if he could do that gandalf kills him by knowledege and his sword. So Dumbledor would run for his life and gandalf wouldn’t give a shit because he’s legen… wait for it….dairy
and btw he’s a semi god

if any of you guys read the hobbit you can see that gandalf is awsome at magic and melee attack. For example when they were attacked by the trolls bilbo woke gandalf and gandalf instantly killed like 7 goblins and killed the wargs with fiery pinecones. also in the misty moutains gandalf with only assintance from thorin killed many goblins in the misty mountains when it was almost completly dark. so what the crap is dumbledore gonna do wen gandalf blocks all his attacks and stabs him with glamdring? and gandalf could say dumdledore your wand is broken and poof dumbledore has no wand. and I agree with a comment I saw earlier GANDALF HAS BALLS OF STEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Gandalf would win easy.  He can say your staff is broken and break Dumbledore’s wand.  Also he has a sword and could chop Dumbledore in half if he got close enough.  

Dumbledore got poisoned by that pipsqueek malefoy. Gandalf is totally mincing.  Yoda would F*!# em both up.
