FANS of the Lord of the Rings will be familiar with the sight of a tall, bearded, old man known as Gandalf. With his long cloak and sometimes a pointy hat, he wields a staff into battles and regularly provides counsel to leaders of men, elves and dwarves. Gandalf's presence and wisdom inspires hope among the free people of Middle-earth to resist tyranny and oppose those who seek to rule by force. The wizard demonstrated extraordinary abilities, most notably his fight with the Balrog, during which he made the famous proclamation: "You shall not pass!".
