Ahem...
I actually prefer Dumbledore, as wizards go. There are several reasons, not all of which I know. I'll try to think of a few:
- As funny as Gandalf can be at times, I much prefer Dumbledore's dry sense of humour that permeates more or less everything he says.
- Dumbledore is not grouchy. He is always calm and controlled, whatever the situation.
- He is a human. Gandalf is a Maia. Dumbledore therefore feels that much more accessible and all of that.
- Dumbledore does magic! And rather magnificently, too.
So, feel free to shout.
