So our Talk Show Topic on dinner party guests got us thinking: What if we invited Albus Dumbledore AND Gandalf to our soiree? Would our head explode with the infinite wisdom they would bestow on us? Would they like each other? Would they both wear silver? We can hear them now...
ON PERSONALITY QUIRKS
ALBUS DUMBLEDORE: I like sherbet lemon more than chocolate frogs.
GANDALF THE GREY/WHITE: Hmmm. I don't easily share things about myself. Strokes beard.
DUMBLEDORE: Indeed! Instead of sharing the Deathly Hallows story with Harry, I left cryptic clues that - oops! - actually got him killed - but it's okay, he chose to return to earth in the end. More wine, please! Strokes beard.
GANDALF: I once died while battling an evil demon and came back to life with greater power. And that's saying a lot, because the first time around I could control fire.
ON EQUALITY
DUMBLEDORE: I used to think Muggles were a waste of space. Takes a bite of the shrimp paella.
GANDALF: I always loved Hobbits. So innocent, so malleable.
DUMBLEDORE: Yes, everything has good in it, in the end.
GANDALF: Actually, that's not true in Middle Earth. Orcs, for example, literally have no redeeming qualities. And let's not get started on their looks. Starts snickering into his wine glass.
ON WHAT HEAVEN LOOKS LIKE
GANDALF: I once told Pippin that you see white shores, and a swift sunrise.
DUMBLEDORE: Well one time, Harry and I were hashing out life in heaven. We were at King's Cross-
GANDALF: Um, the train station?
DUMBLEDORE: Yes! So we were standing in heaven, and part of Voldermort's soul was flopping around nearby in the form of a dying baby.
GANDALF: Hmmm. Strokes beard.
Oh my God, we are so changing our guest list to include Gandalf. This party is gonna rock.
