No. Why would he? I might be wrong, I watched it a long time ago.
-
No, he was a grey wizard who died and came back as a white wizard.
-
No he is a fictional character
-
Don't be ridiculous.
-
He is a highly evolved wizard,that went through a spiritual experience as apposed to dying and coming back to life.
-
He is my god, and he is ruling us now, keeping back the orcs of hell.
-
Absolutely not. There is no god whatsoever.

Tolkien sat opposite a brick water tower in the centre of birmingham when he devised the towers. Birmingham is hardly a magical place. He also wrote about wales, which was a holiday location for him (Farmer Giles of Ham). He did use reality as an inspiration, as we all do. Gandalf was definitely written as a power of good, but that is not the same a supreme being.
-
No.

While Tolkien was a strong Catholic Christian, and his world view pervaded his works, he was adamant that not every point of LOTR could be taken as an analogy of something scriptural. Gandalf has many of the redeeming qualities of Moses and Jesus, but he is neither. If you read the Silmarillion, you will see that there is a God'figure in there, who created the Valar, of whom the Wizards are one branch.

No... actually, in Tolkien's mythology, Gandalf is something like an angelic creature that can take on human form but have great powers. I know this question was asked in a joking manner, but actually Tolkien did give us the names of God and Satan in his Middle Earth mythology -- and neither Gandalf or Sauron are those. God is Iluvatar, and his name is even mentioned in the Trilogy by the elves. Melkor, Sauron's ancestor, is the direct parallel of Satan.
-
No. Eru Illuvatar is considered God, and I've often wondered if Tom Bombadil is a form of Illuvatar.
-
are you refering; because he came back from the dead,? ( No thats just what wizzards need to do to become more powerful...kind of like being promoted)
-
No. Gandalf was a Maia. The Maiar were servants of the Valar.
-
Gandalf isn't God. There is the one God. Gandalf's Maia name is Olorin, he was (and is) a servant of the Valar. But when he dies he might have gone and spoken with Illuvatar. That's why he "felt life in him again." He also says in the books he went on paths that he will not speak of. Maybe this was going to talk to the God.

I know every every thing about thi movie, Gandalf is not a god he's a wizard, In this movie there are 9 wizard 7 of them dead Gandalf and Sarman is not, although Samrmoan die at the third movie. PS: a wizard can not be killed in any way is his staff is still with him. If any one want to ake any qustion about this movie I'll be happy to answer
-
No. Gandalf is technically a Maia (a being kind of analogous to angels), sent to Middle-earth in human form. God (aka The One, or Eru Ilúvatar) is a separate being from Gandalf in Tolkien's works.
-
No. They look nothing alike.
-
No. He could be called a "lesser god". He is an immortal spirit that has taken on the human form to aid in the battle against Melkor and Sauron. He has the human form so that he can die because Eru did not want the mortals to have too much aide but more of a guide.
