nynnd1 has just left Hobbiton.
I am pretty sure that in the special edition of the Fellowship there is mention that C.S Lewis is the basis for Gandalf, but I agree that saying that Merlin is the basis of Gandalf is not true, it is more of a recycling situation, they are both wizards. That is it.

If it is said that Lewis was the basis because he was Tolkien's close friend, who did Tolkien write himself as?
