The allure of knowledge and power should not have been forgotten, especially concerning those who have both the ambition and prowess to usurp it. When the Council of Rivendale agreed to trade Gandalf for Albus Dumbledore, it initially seemed a wise course of action. Gandalf would go to Magical England to inspire the wizarding community to rally against the evil of Lord Voldemort, while Dumbledore would use his unmatched magical abilities to defeat the hordes of Mordor and aid the ring bearer in his journey to the fires of Mount Doom.
Ever faithful to his task, Gandalf diligently pursued his task; however, in Rivendale, the folly of their trade was made apparent as the council briefed Dumbledore on the expedition. Behind those half-moon glasses was an arrogant and foolhardy man. For he saw the ring not as a burden for others to carry, but as a problem that he could overcome himself. In his eyes, there was no magic strong enough to overpower him.
The opportunistic ring shattered the necklace holding it captive by Frodo, flying towards the wizard’s blackened hand at the simple word, Accio. At that instant, a revelation crossed Dumbledore’s mind: not only would he rend the forces of evil in Middle Earth, but he would do the same in England. None could stand in his way. With a pop, the wizard vanished, leaving the fellowship stunned.
