Which Gandalf is Next?

 

My four year old is out and about with my wife and she just texted me to say that he was asking about Gandalf.

“Mommy what’s the next one after Gandalf the White?”

Just to be sure I asked if he thought Gandalf had more transformations coming up (he remembers Gandalf the Grey dying after “the bridge broke!” and has been paying attention as we read about Gandalf the White in Two Towers and Return of the King) and she confirmed this was so.

Yep. “Daddy keeping next one a secret.”

Well it is good to know the four year old has been paying attention to Tolkien even if he doesn’t seem like he is all the time.
