Another tough one. I love the Noldor rebels, and I'd love to see one of them win just to stick it to the Valar. But Gandalf is, well... Gandalf. I might sit back and later on give a vote to whoever is behind just to even things up.

I shudder to think that Galadriel is still around at the time of LotR, given her history. The things she must've seen and done throughout the long years, always with the memory of the paradise that was Valinor in the light of the Trees... Gandalf is a more developed character though and gets much more exposure. In the end, the choice is easy:
++Gandalf

Think so, but hey, that still counts as one. Lathspell is new to me, who called him that?

I like Galadriel, she's probably the best and most complex female character in the whole thing (apart from Ungoliant), but I'm afraid old Grandalf must take my vote here.
The crusty old pipe-smoking hippy with a sharp tongue and a knack for fireworks, he's just excellent. No wonder the flower power generation wanted him for President - we can only dream what the world might have been like had he taken up office. Man. I mean, he's an Odinic Wanderer, how utterly cool is that? Maybe if Galadriel had left the house now and then... Tolkien did about as good a job as is possible in conjouring up the spirit of Merlin Himself for his story, and for all we joke about him uncloaking he's an elemental being and straight from the ancient real world - a 'magic elf' as the name translates in Old Norse.  ++Gandalf
