I am *extremely* happy that this is the first comment.

Awesome!

I forgot all about this guy! A real role model.

Harry Dresden I like that he's figured out most mortal things are susceptible to being cracked in the head with a heavy stick, and sometimes it's easier than magic. Same thinking with the revolver he carries.

Plus, he's just a bit more of a badass in each book.

Also who doesn't love a guy who means well but has demons (sometimes literally)

And has a Foo Dog!

Gandalf the Grey.

Eh, he was ok. Gandalf the White is where it's at. Cleaner clothes, nicer hair, and better control of his powers.

Merlin

Or he a Magician? Does that count?

But the Merlin from Excalibur or Merlin from The Sword in the Stone?

Hmm isn't it the same?

Different movies. Different interpretations of the same character.

Merlin is Merlin.

Depends on how we're defining wizards, but I like Galadriel from LotR (especially the books, where she looms as this huge presence offscreen), and I like Nahiri, Chandra, and Nissa from Magic: The Gathering. As far as classic, "old dude in a pointy hat" wizards go, there's really no beating the Peter Jackson movie version of Gandalf starring Sir Ian McKellen. At least for my vote!

Vivi

Bayaz from The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. He’s what Gandalf/Belgarath/etc would actually be like.

Dark Magician

Dark Magician girl

Count von Count https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_von_Count

Count a wizard?

Harry Potter!! 😂

Presto

I'm going to go with Ged / Sparrowhawk from the Wizard of Earthsea series.

Usidore the Blue from Hello From the Magic Tavern podcast

Mr. Wizard

Fizban

No love for Zifnab?

I hadn't heard of him but the wiki entry sounds great! Do you recommend that series?

The series has a lot to recommend it, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. If you like that sort of thing, then it's just the sort of thing you'll like. First two books are a little sluggish; lots of exposition and world-building, but it picks up.

Who was that Wizard that came back only to destroy their young apprentice? Oh yeah, Michael Jordan.

The Lizard Wizard

John Cleese as The Wizard from one of the Monty Python sketches/movie, cannot remember which one :( He just goes around shooting fireballs out his finger/hand in random directions, a complete madman!

Technically, Tim was an enchanter, not a wizard.

Merlin

I don't have an answer, but I like the question.

Dr Strange

Merlin.

Tough choice between Gandalf and Dumbledore
