Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess
 * Close Range- Gandalf. Glamdring and Godric's sword are pretty even, but Gandalf also has his staff, a mighty combination that provides both fast and powerful attacks that Dumbledore could never keep up with.
 * Magic 1- Gandalf. TK will kill, and can be used to disarm just as well as a simple disarm spell. It can do pretty much anything Expelliarmus can do, and better.
 * Magic 2- Dumbledore. The light could make it hard for Dumbledore to cast his spells, but Reductor appears to be a much more devestating attack that could kill Gandalf. Blinding Light, however, will not kill, only distract.
 * Special- Gandalf. Wrath was used to take on a Balrog. Dumbledore's spell is made of fire and didn't do that much damage (though it sure looks impressive). Need I even say more?
 * Protective Spell- Gandalf. The Shield of Istari is a bubble of 360 degree protection from pretty much any effect or spell Dumbledore could throw. The Shield Charm will only defend a portion of Dumbledore, and he could be hit from the side or overwhelmed still.
 * Deadliest Warrior- Gandalf. He's a better fighter, more experienced and using stronger magic. He's going to tie a new knot in Dumbledore's beard with his wrinkley balls- for Gandalf is the one wizard to rule them all.
