Balrog size

[Kuruharan]

Gwaihir only makes that comment when Gandalf comes back as Gandalf the White. And it is understandable why Gandalf would be light as a feather after not having eaten for so long and fighting with the Balrog.

But when he picked up Faramir he was Gandalf the White too. I am not certain that he could have been so light or quite so strong as Gandalf the Grey. When he died and came back he came back greatly enhanced in power. I think that his greater physical strength and lightness of body were parts of that transformation. He was not as restricted by his physical form as Gandalf the White I guess I am saying.
