Gandalf...or Potter?

Gandalf vs Harry Potter

These are probably the two coolest wizards ever, right? But, who's the best--Gandalf or Harry?

Who's Gandalf? 

If you don't know, you're in trouble...

Gandalf is a fictional character with major roles in J. R. R. Tolkien's novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings . In these stories, Gandalf appears as a wizard, member and later the head (after Saruman's betrayal and fall) of the order known as the Istari, as well as leader of the Fellowship of the Ring and the army of the West. At the start of the novel he is known as Gandalf the Grey; later after assuming leadership of the Istari, he is known as Gandalf the White.

Harry Potter's Biography 

About Harry Potter

Harry James Potter is the title character and the protagonist of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter fantasy series. The books cover seven years in the life of the lonely orphan who, on his eleventh birthday, learns he is a wizard. He attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn magic. Under the guidance of the kind headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Harry discovers that he is already famous throughout the wizarding world, and that his fate is tied with that of Lord Voldemort, the universally feared Dark wizard who killed Harry's father and mother.

Gandalf, of course.

TheBigCheese says:

Gandalf, far and away

Gandalf says:

Gandalf,ofcourse,is the winner of this fight because he is act-
-ually "GANDALF THE WHITE.Though i wouldn't underestimate the
powerful HARRY POTTER either but Gandalf is my first choice.

Salman says:

gandalf gandalf.

ethmpsn says:

He's Magneto for Gad's sake.

Gildor says:

Galdalf. There would be a much closer debate between Albus and Gandalf. yet even there Gandalf would wipe the floor with them.

frodomichael says:

gandalf would beat harry potter like a red headed stepchild

DsDs says:

Gandalf. Aside from being far older, Gandalf's display of power is always minimal. He held back an evil maiar of Morgoth, far more powerful than Voldemort or Harry ever could be. It was said in one of the games the secret fire of Arnor was hope, which explains why Gandalf didn't ever use his powers to wipe out whole armies. He never went head to head with Sauron himself because Tolkein said that Gandalf was humble enough to not be confident in doing so.

Liam says:

Gandalf. JRR KICKS JKS ASS

Lilly Trescot says:

Gandalf no question about it! Gandalf is much wiser and much more powerful

bailian says:

Gandalf would wipe Harry with two fingers in hiss a$$

spirituality says:

Harry Potter just seems too young to beat Gandalf. But the question is of course moot: they would love, not hate when meeting each other :)

knowell says:

Go Gandalf!

Wottonian says:

Gandalf's a Miar, Harry's just a very special human. No contest I'm afraid, Gandalf has it!

BFuniv.com says:

Gandalf keeps learning; Harry seems to start each book by forgetting and regressing.

Grasshoppa says:

No contest.

blondeheroine says:

I love Harry Potter, but there's not comparison. Gandalf all the way. You shall not pass, yo.

bob says:

gandalf!!!!!!!

j2t says:

Gandalf could woop Harry

Isitar Nandaro says:

As much as I like Harry, Gandalf is definately far far more powerful. But then you cannot compare the two. Harry is nowhere close to being in Gandalf's league. After all Harry is a mere human whereas Gandalf is one of the Maia. Oh and by the way a Maia is not an angel Wussok. The Lord of the Rings has no connectiosn to Christianity. In fact Eru Ilúvatar and the Ainur created the Universe. Of the Ainur you have the greater Valar and the lesser Maiar who serve the Valar. Gandalf was a Maiar and while not as powerful as a Valar he is still a divine being.
Just as Gandalf could kick Harry's butt, a Maiar would easily kick an Christian Angel's butt.

Jake The Warrior says:

Gandlaf is awesome! "YOU...SHALL NOT...PASS!!!"

Harry!

Cool girl says:

Harry Potter is the winner through and through.He will 'Awada
Kadevra' Gandalf in less than 2 seconds.Gandalf does'nt stand a
chance.Gandalf does'nt even have a wand which means he's not
even a real wizard ,HA HA HA HA,unlike Harry Potter who has the
coolest wand of all,TAKE THAT.And once again Harry WILL win.

sleepingdragon(: says:

Gandalf never really did any magic that really fascinated me. He's just very wise, while Harry is rather young and reckless. Harry, no doubt is more "magic-ky"

FlashAllen says:

Harry is better than Gandalf.

Luvi says:

Harry because he still has a lot more potential in him.

bdkz says:

Potter, I always pick the underdog!

ZachG says:

That is a very good idea, I think it would indeed be better if Gandalf faced Dumbledore. I've made a lens about that.

Thanks!

mtsedwards says:

Who is this Gandalf? Mwahahahaha! HP all the way!

boredofeducation says:

Did anyone actually think I would vote for Gandalf?

Although shouldn't Gandalf be compared with Dumbledore?

I Think Gandalf Wins... 

Although Harry could be a tough competitor

I always thought Gandalf was pretty awesome, with his balrog-slaying, Nazgul-fighting, kick butt powers. He even comes back to life and breaks the staff of his betraying superior (oops, spoiler). I think Harry has a lot to live up to to beat Gandalf in terms of coolness.

Although, Harry's pretty cool too. He's got some pretty sweet spells under his sleeve (or should I say, in his wand?) and could prove to be a pretty good challenge for Gandalf. If the two were to come together for a fight, who would win? Honestly, I couldn't say. Though, I'm leaning a bit toward Gandalf...But my opinion's a bit biased I think...
