12 Times Gandalf Seriously Dropped The Ball

9. That Time He Wasn't A Responsible Adult

"Let the ring bearer decide" thunders the grey wizard as the fellowship stand freezing their balls off on top of the snowy mountain pass. Frodo opts for the mines; Gandalf raises his eyebrows and Gimli cheers silently inside - and off they go into Moria. Gandalf: you must have known about the crazy demon! YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN. You're a knowledgable and reputable wizarding bachelor for god's sake. Frodo is like your grandchild, you're meant to have his best interests in mind. Obviously we know that's not the case; you're the one who set this dangerous quest into motion in the first place (much like in The Hobbit - but more on that later). You are clearly not to be trusted.

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
