Lord of the Rings vs Harry Potter...only with wizards!

The gathered casts of LotR and Harry Potter bear witness to the battle between the two most powerful wizards of Middle-earth and the two mostpowerful wizards of the Wizarding world.

The kid gloves are off. Anything goes in this matchup. Better take cover.

Avada Kedavra ftw.

I don't really remember the LotR wizards doing anything too fancy. Nothing comparable to the ones in Pothead anyway.

That's cause they didn't. Gandalf repelled some Nazgul with a beam of light, that was the most impressive thing.

I have simply never fully understood how on earth the Wizards from Lotr work...

it's all in their wands

LotR Wizards use staves, not wands lol.

But yeah, without the staff they are nothing.

As always when wizards are involved:

Read it, and yeah there are some good points.

Though in all honesty, Voldemort with Avada Kedavra can kill either Saruman or Gandalf easily. He can use it quicker than they can use their powers as well. Then it's Dumbledore and Voldemort vs. whoever didn't die...Or Voldemort can use Avada Kedavra again.

Oh yeah, Potter guys win big time. Just sayin'

Deleted for my stupidity.

Superman can move far faster than the time it would take Tom to cast the Avada Kedavra. However, knowing Supes history, he would probably allow himself to get hit by it just to try and prove how manly he is, thus biting the dust. And Superman has what to do with this thread?

My bad. I was reading too fast and saw Saruman as Superman. Sorry about that.

i meant Potter

Yeah, while their literary counterparts would probably school Dumbledore and Voldemort, their cinematic incarnations get owned, terribly. Gandalf and Saruman only demonstrate telekinesis and the ability to make a stone glow in the dark; Voldemort and Dumbledore are capable of teleporting, shooting beams of pure magical energy, summoning gigantic fire serpents, creating a veritable wave out of a fountain's water, collecting it in an orb, and nearly drowning someone, flexing their arms and shattering every piece of glass in a gigantic ass room, summoning that glass in a hail of energy, erecting a shield that turns that glass to dust, et cetera.

Many people seem to be basing their facts entirely on the films. Gandalf and the other wizards are immortal spirits sent by Gods. They had their powers limited so that they didn't just blow up all the bad guys (the Gods wanted the men to do the work and be reunited by it.) Gandalf actually fought the balrog NON STOP FOR TWO DAYS AND NIGHTS!!!! and that was after chasing it for 8 days. So yeah he's badass. He does not require his staff to use magic, he says "your staff is broken" to Saruman and his staff breaks, he melts swords etc etc.

Saruman was killed by a lesser than average man with a dagger.

The magic used in the HP franchise wouldn't harm the LOTR wizards, it's simply too weak compared to the magical forces Gandalf and Saruman deal with on a daily basis. The HP guys might as well be throwing confetti at them.

They just need the factual movie feats to get in the contest with Dumbledore and Voldemort, I agree with Gideon, that the version of Gandalf and Saruman would own Dumbledore and Voldemort, however based on the movie alone I would give the win to team two.

Based on even the books Gandalf and Saruman have NOTHING over Dumbledore and Voldemort, they both have hyperbolic, implied power that is never displayed.

Aren't they said to be god-like?

Yet get killed by mortal means.

God is a meaningless title, it has no bearing on anything.

Fact is, despite being Godlike Maiar, a Balrog was killed by a lightning bolt and a stab, Gandalf from exhaustion I assume, Saruman from a dagger, hell, Sauron was defeated by having his friggin finger cut off.

They can be defeated in very mortal ways, they do not "die," but they lose physical form unless recreated by a higher being, like a Valar or Eru Illuvitar.

I still say the LOTR crew wins; this is based on 100% pure fanboyism and a dislike of anything Harry Potter.

How is getting killed by a lightning bolt charged sword through the throat by an enchanted elven sword mean the balrog is weak

Gandalf fell thousands of feet into a large pool of water, whilst riding a flaming Balrog, then proceeded to chase the Balrog through the caverns, climbed Durin's tower, then fought with the Balrog in the middle of a snowstorm, on the top of a mountain



Because Saruman was snuck up on. Both Voldemort and Dumbledore would get killed if someone stabbed them through the throat, so I don't see your point.

Sauron was PIS.

Even if they had the Ring, there is nothing the middle Earth wizards could do to the potter ****. Gandalf can turn his Staff into a flashlight and Dumbledore and Voldemort can shoot fire out of their wands

Sauron was PIS. 1. I was debunking the Godlike immortal crap that people for some reason believe about LotR.

2. He broke his fall with the Balrog, he chased it up a tower, then they killed eachother. Voldemort would need one spell to kill either.

3. I don't give a shit. My point was they are mortal in resilience. Not to mention their displayed powers in the books are also shitty.

4. No it wasn't. Sauron is an idiot who for some reason thought it would be a good idea to transfer all his power and essence into a single ring on his finger, and he would lose his physical body if he lost it. In other words, he's an idiot.

Na, just accept that the LOTR crew wins. You'll feel better once you do.

In short...

LoTR wins 'cuz HP is for pvssies.
