Indeed so!
GALADRIEL: A girl and boy with ire danced around, but who is this? A girl… and yet a boy?
SHELOB: An evil elbow, in confusion’s rush, has lost its finish, hearing itself shushed.
OLD MAN: Decrepit elder, senior, but mark: this one’s not senile, nor yet weak.
OLD: And yet another senior we see: mature, aged, venerable, elderly.
HAGRID'S PETS: Among them giants, dragons fire-breathing, but also very ordinary beasts. Their owner is not haggard - or is he?
FORBIDDEN: An adjective which means to say “debarred”...
WHOMPING: ...And yet another, to describe a whacker.
MAGGOT'S PETS (Grip, Fang, Wolf): Hold fast: a tooth, lupine - all with an insect.
ERISED: Erased? Not quite, but close enough to see.
HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED: I cannot say his name, but you’ll know him.
ARAGOG: A royal hero from the other side exchanged directions for a single note, as well as half a dozen extra feet.
SAURON: The other other side’s best friend, howbeit, took note, and more than one direction took - alas, becoming evil in the process.

We've used Harry Potter references so often, I thought I would do something fun about it. My only regret is that I didn't put "wizard" in there.
And with that, over to Urwen!
(On a complete tangent, if you ever
do want to see Dumbledore talking about Gandalf and references and crossovers to a whole other bunch of excellent fiction, I recommend reading
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It is a parody that somehow ended up better than the original, as it still hit all of HP's strong points but also addressed many of its weak spots as a piece of literature.)
