Lord Of The Rings Comparison

Both Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Rowling's Harry Potter are heavily influenced by great wizards. On the surface, these wizards may seem to be very similar, but upon further analysis ,it is obvious to the reader that they have many differences. Gandalf, from the Lord of The Ring series, is a wise old wizard who is not the strongest of all wizards. His power comes the love and courage that he teaches to many of the other main characters in The Lord of the Rings, but he is almost invincible. Albus Dumbledore is the strongest wizard in the Harry Potter series.

Gandalf's instructions to look to the East gave the Fellowship the hope and strength to fight on, even when it appeared that all was lost. His arrival, at Dawn no less, brought light back to the story. In The Two Towers, the Fellowship was convinced that Gandalf had been killed by the Balrog. They mourned his passing and struggled to move forward on their quest. But Gandalf had not been defeated. He had simply moved on to another wizard form, and he had actually increased in power! When he reunited with the Fellowship, he gave them hope for the future, because he was still on their side. The darkness had been pushed back again. Conversely, Dumbledore is the strongest wizard in the story of Harry Potter. He has exceptional reasoning abilities, knows the most spells, and is undefeated by any rivals.
