Ok, heres a question.

Tolkien speaks of Galadriel as mighty among the Eldar, most powerful elf on Middle Earth and other adjectives.

But he also speaks in the same way of Elrond.

So, between Elrond and Galadriel, which one was more powerful?

My guess: Galadriel. She was even able to see and know what Sauron thought, resisted the 3 assails from Dol Guldur and drove them back by herself, destroyed the fortress of Dol Guldur and kept Lothlorien a safe place when the most dangerous times of the Third Age were passing...
