[HPforGrownups] Re: Be nice to Gandalf (Was: Dumbledore, Gleam & Gandalf)

OK - feel free to yell at me for bringing in other series- someone else
started it. IMHO, Albus seems the most similar to David Edding's
Belgarath the Sorcerer - he has a more direct and hands on approach to
dealing with evil, is training a younger one (who's an orphan), has a
great sense of humor and looks traditionally wizardly. Basically, I love
the way JKR combines two prototypes - the brilliant, eccentric
absentminded professor and the Merlin figure into one.
Any opinions?
