In the Lord of the Rings books Gandalf is 5’6″ tall. In the movies Gandalf is played by Ian McKellen who is 5’11” and that character interacts with Hobbits and Dwarves on screen making him appear as a taller character than he’s meant to be in the books.
He is also described as being “old but vigorous”, with a long white beard. Gandalf’s physical appearance is based on that of the wizard Merlin from Arthurian legend.

Where in the Books Does Lord of the Rings Mention Gandalf’s Height?
In the first book, Gandalf is only ever described in terms of his height in comparison to other characters. In The Fellowship of the Ring, he is said to be “a little taller than a Hobbit” and in The Two Towers he is described as being “somewhat above Hobbits in height but much thinner”.
In the last book, Gandalf’s physical appearance is finally described in detail and his height is given as 5’6″.
So there you have it. In the books, Gandalf is 5’6″ tall. In the movies, he looks taller because Ian McKellen is tall and also because he interacts with shorter characters on screen.
See How Tall Gandalf is For Yourself (Forced Perspective)
Here is a great video overview about the use of forced perspective in the Lord of the Rings movies, which contributes to Gandalf’s perceived height:
People are often surprised about Gandalf’s “book height” due to how tall he looks in many scenes in the movies:
Today I learned that Gandalf’s canonical height is 5’6″. Forget Short King Season, we are talking about Short Wizard Season.

Who is Gandalf?
Gandalf is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth legendarium. He appears in The Hobbit and in The Lord of the Rings, where he is initially known as Gandalf the Grey but returns as Gandalf the White after defeating the Balrog of Moria.
In Tolkien’s writings, Gandalf is a wizard, member of the Istari order, as well as leader of the Fellowship of the Ring and army of the West during the War of the Ring. Along with Saruman, he was one of the five Wizards sent to Middle-earth by the Valar to aid in Sauron’s defeat.
Gandalf has many characteristics that are similar to those of Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology, such as his wisdom, his long white beard, and his love of smoking a pipe. He is also similar to Merlin from Arthurian legend in appearance and powers.
How Old is Gandalf (Gandalf Age)?
In the Lord of the Rings books, Gandalf is said to be “old but vigorous” and in the movies he looks to be around 60 years old. However, it’s worth noting that in Middle-earth, Wizards can live to be hundreds or even thousands of years old. So while Gandalf may look like he’s in his 60s, he could actually be much older than that.
What Race is Gandalf?
Gandalf is a Maiar, which is a type of spirit that serves the Valar (the ruling gods of Middle-earth). He was sent to Middle-earth as one of the Istari, or Wizards, to help defeat Sauron.
One interesting thing to note is that Gandalf’s physical appearance is based on that of the wizard Merlin from Arthurian legend. Like Merlin, Gandalf is wise and has a long white beard. He also shares some characteristics with Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology, such as his wisdom and love of smoking a pipe.
What Are Gandalf’s Powers?
Gandalf is a powerful Wizard and his powers include:
- The ability to fly without the use of wings
- The ability to change his shape and appearance
- The ability to vanish and reappear at will
- The ability to create illusions
- The ability to see into the future
- The ability to read minds
- The ability to cast spells
- The ability to use magic to create fire, water, and other elements
- The ability to teleport himself and others
What is Gandalf’s Staff?
Gandalf’s staff is made of wood and is inscribed with runes that give the staff power over fire. The staff also has the ability to change shape and grow taller or shorter at Gandalf’s command. In the movies, the staff is shown to be able to produce sparks and flames when Gandalf wills it.
In the Lord of the Rings books, it is said that Gandalf’s staff was broken during his battle with the Balrog. However, in the movies, the staff does not appear to be broken and Gandalf is seen using it throughout the films.
