Gandalf strikes me as uninterested in education, although he'd curbstomp Voldemort.

Dumbledore canonically puts on cursed rings he ought not to.

This will not end well unless Gandalf trains Hogwarts as an army and leads them back to Middle Earth to confront a resurgent Sauron.

I feel like Gandalf in academia would be more of a researcher who found actually teaching to be an annoying necessity best foisted upon aides. He shows no reluctance whatsoever to dive into the books for literal years at the beginning of Fellowship to research the ring. I agree that he’d handle Voldemort in an afternoon, though.

Uninterested in educating others, perhaps. We agree.

I could also Gandalf scoffing at the way other magical beings are treated. Wizarding society is kind of an asshole to any one who is not human. Only allowing humans to have wands, house elves are slaves, etc.
