Article: "New Potter Wizard is... Gandalf!"
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2002600303,00.html
"THE actor who plays Gandalf in The Lord Of The Rings has landed another wizard role in the next Harry Potter film. "SIR IAN McKELLEN, whose latest Lord Of The Rings film The Two Towers is top of the movie charts, is set to take over from the late RICHARD HARRIS as Professor Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter." Hmmmmm. Kind of strange.

"...[The Lord of the Rings] is to exemplify most clearly a recurrent theme: the place in 'world politics' of the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts of will, and deeds of virtue of the apparently small, ungreat, fogotten in the places of the Wise and Great (good as well as evil). A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160. |
