Gandalf is a principle character in J. R. R. Tolkien's novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He is a wizard, one of the Istari order, and the leader and mentor of the Fellowship of the Ring. He makes wonderful fireworks and loves the Hobbits.  He is an inspiring character and was fun to create. I made the very first one while on holiday in France and then took him for a mini 'You shall not pass' photoshoot.
