Quite, as that was my main reason for posting. The extent of Tolkien's influence is cross-genre. People respond to the character of Gandalf as a literary character, not just a Fantasy character. Like Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet (as much as I hate to make a shakespeare referance when speaking of Tolkien)
