The Real Gandalf | Tolkien Lore

Was Gandalf ever a child? The answer is stranger than anything the films ever showed you. In this video we go deep into the real truth about Gandalf — what he actually is, where he came from before Middle Earth existed, why he was chosen above all others, and what Gandalf the White really means. This is the lore Tolkien wrote that most people never find. Kings and Rings explores the hidden histories and untold stories of Middle Earth — for those who want to go further than the films.
