How Did Gandalf Get His Staff Back

Eventually saruman stole gandalf s staff and transported him to the top of orthanc.

When gandalf was rescued by the eagles from the top of isengard tower he did not have his staff. Tolkien s novels the hobbit and the lord of the rings he is a wizard one of the istari order and the leader and mentor of the fellowship of the ring tolkien took the name gandalf from the old norse catalogue of dwarves in the völuspá. How does gandalf get his staff back. Saruman took his staff when he was imprisoned.

Gandalf s staff was never broken nor was it every expressly stated that it was taken or lost in situations like his being captured by saruman or his battle with the balrog we are left to our own guesses about whether gandalf was able to hold on to his staff throughout the ordeal or if he merely made aquired another afterwards. As a wizard and the bearer of a ring of power gandalf has great power but works mostly by encouraging and persuading. This question appears to address an inconsistency in the lord of the rings movie the fellowship of the ring in the movie when gandalf realizes he has been betrayed and trapped by saruman the two wizards fight each other and saruman takes gandalf s staff away from him before sending gandalf up to the top of orthanc. Gandalf the grey was also capable of pushing his foes back with his staff as shown in the movie when he battles saruman in orthanc.

Gandalf in the book diod not get seperated from his hat because he was not flown to the top of orthanc there was no spiffy staff fight and stuff so gandalf did not get the crap beat out of him and his hat knocked off. It s explained in the books that gandalf the white upon recovering after his bout with the balrog took a pit stop to the elves who provided him with the white robes and new staff so it s likely gandalf the grey took a pit stop to someone presumably the elves who could fashion him a new staff.
