<font colot=white> Well bear in mind that the Hobbit was written for a younger age. Therefore Gandalf's character didn't seem to have the same amount of depth to it - He was just a wizard - we knew nothing of the more important aspects of his work apart from a brief mention of his 'other business' to do with the Necromancer. He had an air of mystery to him but it was different - He wasn't regarded as quite so important to the workings of Middle Earth.
