Feb 7, 2019 at 19:52 comment added BoredBsee Don't forget Gandalf is a Maiar. This means he was present at the creation of the universe during the Music of the Ainur. If you haven't read The Silmarillion, that means that he was present when everything fated to occur was sung into being. None of the Maiar remember it all, but they all do remember bits and pieces. This means they occasionally have foreknowledge of things. Maybe Gandalf simply knew they'd be ok.

Feb 6, 2019 at 22:37 comment added Pryftan Part of it would also be that at the time of writing the Necromancer was only there to give a reason for Gandalf to leave the group. Remember it wasn't meant to have a sequel and only by chance did a publisher see it and like it enough to want to publish it.

Feb 6, 2019 at 17:36 comment added Jon Custer Sure, the cursed forest was the most dangerous thing, and the dragon at the destination wouldn't harm a fly... They were working under a time restraint, so chose the shortest path.

Feb 6, 2019 at 10:57 comment added Nicola Talbot Don't have quotes with me at the moment, but (as far as I remember) Gandalf wasn't going round the forest, he was on his way to Dol Guldor to face the Necromancer (i.e. Sauron).
Feb 6, 2019 at 9:59 comment added Valorum @NikitaNeganov - Actually that's a fair point, but he's still the only one with an actual horse.
Feb 6, 2019 at 9:51 comment added Nikita Neganov @Valorum I'm not sure whether you are referencing Gwaihir here, but IIRC Gandalf only gets the fastest horse when enters Rohan in LotR
