I'm definitely with you on this one, doug*platypus. Gandalf is probably my ultimately favorite character. The mentor thing works for me; also because Gandalf always seems so much like the people that I like to call my mentors. But you forgot to mention he is incredibly witty *or maybe you just meant that to be included in his great sense of humour...either way...*!
Also, I love all the hobbits and their relationship with eachother.
My favorite female character is definitely Eowyn! I always thought she was so beautiful and strong - ready to fight in an instant. But I must say that I also really like Galadriel. Here mere presence suggests such grandeur and mystery!
