Dumbledore puts the fear of fyre in him before he pulls that attack off. Then he transfigures himinto a rabbit or something.

Yes and no. Let's not forget that Gandalf took down a Balrog and was able to block/counter three simultaneous attacks from three exceptionally bad-ass motherjammers. Aragon, Legolas and Gimli, when they mistook him for Saurumom. Not sure if Daumbledore could have replicated these feats. But overall I'd tend to agree with you.

What has Dumbledore done to prove he's so powerful ? Lotr would annihilate hp in an all out war. It wouldn't even be close.

Dumbledore wields the Elder Wand, which is no mere wand, and by feats, that dinky little wand makes Gandalf's staff look like a wifflebat.

The Balrog was impressive, sure, but Gandalf died taking it down, although he did do it in a weaker incarnation. Dumbledore would take down the Balrog, and would lolwtfrape Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. Well I mean unless Legolas does something like ride a shield across Dumbledore's stream of fired magic before decapitating Dumbledore with an arrow that hit him in the foot, but that is not the point. Magic in LotR is inherently "Low," a nerdy fantasy term which basically means much more subtle, and less practically powerful. Although it is shown that through long invocations Saruman could create a mountain-spanning blizzard, but that is impractical in a battle.

And of course that has absolutely nothing to do with the incredibly massive armies LotR has at their disposal, right?

Yes I agree that Dumbledore's sphincter is likely to feel the cold pointy wrath of the Witch Kings blade.

Balrog? Probably. Legolas would rape him via arrow to the eye before Bumbledore did one little flick of his wrist.

The characters that lead these armies are by far more powerful than the masses they control as well. It all goes hand in hand.

Yes I suppose the same way that a 9mm and a Davy Crocket are both projectile-firing hunks of metal, yet the difference is gigantic between them.

This is one time Protego would actually work. Dumbledore's reactions are sufficient enough to place a Protego before the arrow could pierce him.

No they aren't. Lolwtf. It took a midget and a single woman to kill the Witch King. It did not take a midget and a single woman to fight back the armies of Mordor. No one being in the films is capable of fighting an entire army alone.

That's ignoring the reason behind why the Witch King could do that in the movie. Because the Witch King's magical power was greater than Gandalf's, it is not greater than Dumbledore's.

Apparently so. Not that it matters.
