have Gandalf as your Granddad
- Gandalf is a demigod-level being with vast power, wisdom, and near-immortality—a far more formidable figure than any wizard
- Gandalf is still alive and active at the end of his story; having a living, legendary granddad beats having a dead one
- Gandalf fights Balrogs, commands eagles, and shapes the fate of entire ages—his stories and adventures have no equal
