Excellent point. More children have read the Hogwarts books than the works of Professor Tolkien.Dr. Shades wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2024 5:52 amJudging by popular culture and the number of books sold, isn't Dumbledore the most famous wizard to ever grace our human history?
As far as musical wizards, consider the efforts of Mickey in Fantasia. Perhaps Kerry could touch on the symbolism of the self-propelled water buckets and mops as it relates to the Kirkland era.

Ha! You dare challenge my glorious free will to choose Gandalf over all others?! I shall sick MG 2.0 on thy sorry patutee and show you we are free to choose, and as always Gandalf wins every time through the free will of the Valar and Eru Illuvatar!Dr. Shades wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2024 5:52 amJudging by popular culture and the number of books sold, isn't Dumbledore the most famous wizard to ever grace our human history?Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 9:25 pmExploring the Christian and Jesus analogies and connections to Gandalf the most famous wizard to ever grace our human history, . . .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin
Merlin (Welsh: Myrddin, Cornish: Marzhin, Breton: Merzhin)[note 2] is a mythical figure prominently featured in the legend of King Arthur and best known as a magician, with several other main roles.[note 3] The familiar depiction of Merlin, based on an amalgamation of historic and legendary figures, was introduced by the 12th-century British pseudo-historical author Geoffrey of Monmouth and then built on by the French poet Robert de Boron and their prose successors in the 13th century.
Geoffrey seems to have combined earlier Welsh tales of Myrddin and Ambrosius, two legendary Briton prophets with no connection to Arthur, to form the composite figure that he called Merlinus Ambrosius. His rendering of the character became immediately popular, especially in Wales.[6] Later chronicle and romance writers in France and elsewhere expanded the account to produce a fuller, more multifaceted image, creating one of the most important figures in the imagination and literature of the Middle Ages.
Merlin's traditional biography casts him as an often-mad cambion, born of a mortal woman and an incubus, from whom he inherits his supernatural powers and abilities.[7] His most notable abilities commonly include prophecy and shapeshifting. Merlin matures to an ascendant sagehood and engineers the birth of Arthur through magic and intrigue.[8] Later stories have Merlin as an advisor and mentor to the young king until his disappearance from the tale, leaving behind a series of prophecies foretelling the events yet to come. A popular version from the French prose cycles tells of Merlin being bewitched and forever sealed up or killed by his student, the Lady of the Lake, after falling in love with her. Other texts variously describe his retirement, at times supernatural, or death.

You can choose to make a podcast about Gandalf, but you can't choose who is more popular. Statistics do that, not you.Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2024 4:14 pmHa!
