Regardless, the light is extremely bright.
He always yells "Avada Kedavra," and going by character whims, that WILL be the spell he will open with against the White Wizard.
The TTT clip demonstrates how easily he can cast multiple spells at the same time.
FIGHT!
Voldemort cries, "AVADA KEDAV---aargh!" Instantly there is an incredible blinding light surrounding Gandalf, as Voldemort immediately looks away, his eyes stunned. The wizard quickly points his wand forward in the general direction of the Istari, and roars, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" As the verdant beam rushes forward, Voldemort suddenly feels an excruciating pain in his hands as he watches with horror as a fire immerses his wand; he drops the charred piece of wood and looks forward. There is thick smoke where Gandalf stood, and Voldemort knows his spell has successfully landed on target. Suddenly, the Istari emerges from the veil, as Voldemort is stunned. The White Wizard thrusts his staff forward as Voldemort is sent flying into a wall, the impact crushing his frail body.
And do you know how many seconds this would take? 15 seconds at most?
Gandalf's all-purpose Shield protects him from Voldemort's Killing Curse. (see Saruman vs. Gandalf in ROTK)
I see no reason to assume that Gandalf's physical strength is greater than Voldemort's magic.
Gandalf doesn't even need to use his physical strength to defeat Voldemort.
I see no reason to assume that that will end the fight, either. One would think that such an ability would come in handy: "Sauron, your fortress is dust!" or "Saruman, your ass is down here where we can question you!" or "Frodo, your ass is in Mount Doom!" etc. There are clear and obvious limitations to what Gandalf can do with regards to such ability. As the resurrected replacement for Saruman, it is more likely that what he did in the deleted scene of the film {do we even count those?} is what he did in the book: Expel Saruman from the Istari. Voldemort, who is not a member of that order and likely wouldn't want to be, would likely just be winded-- from laughing his serpentine ass off.
I don't understand- are you suggesting that Voldemort would still win if his wand is broken?
