TiberiusOgden:
Well,
maybe I should continue.  :)

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." existed and still exist RPG schools on the motive Harry Potter. You can study in the Hogwarts, take classes, send owls to friends, etc.  8-)
I had interest about teaching there, but one of the conditions was, that you can not have the real name from the stories.
But I wanted some name either way ... suddenly I found the name Tiberius Ogden, completely unknown character.


--- Zitat ---Tiberius Ogden was a former member of the Wizengamot (described as an elder member), but resigned in protest due to Cornelius Fudge's appointment of Dolores Umbridge as High Inquisitor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the continuing campaign by the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet to discredit Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter.

So I used such name and I was surprised that it worked.  I was there for five years and it was wonderful experience. In reality I was only one person (from around three hundred persons), who had real name from the book.  :P

These days, I have quite nice and much more interesting nicks for example on Lotro online, but TiberiusOgden was the first nick for me and his character little bit corresponds to my nature.  ;)

Walküre:
My username? 'Die Walküre' is a famous opera of Wagner, part of the cycle 'Der Ring des Nibelungen', and it literally means 'The Valkyrie'; it is also the composition of the legendary and famous 'The Ride of the Valkyries' theme  :)


Not only is Wagner one of my favourite composers, but also I think that his Art (because it is not 'only' Music) expresses all the 'spirit' of Neoclassicism and Romanticism of the Europe of that time, and somehow combines them, looking for a model of Eternal Beauty that never withers (what the Elves are, I think).

There are also some common elements that we can find between Galadriel and the mythical figure of the Valkyrie; they both aren't goddesses (or Ainur in Tolkien's Universe), but they are ethereal and holy creatures, both warriors and healers/guardians at the same time.
The Valkyries also have the task of caring about the spirits of the dead soldiers, and Galadriel sheltered the reborn Gandalf in Lothlórien and clothed him in White.

There is also an episode of Bugs Bunny, 'What's Opera Doc?', meant to be a tribute/parody of Wagner's operas, in which there is an iconic scene of Bugs Bunny/Brunhilde riding a white horse on the notes of Wagner's Tannhäuser, another wonderful opera of Wagner  :)

I wrote ''Galadriel sheltered the reborn Gandalf'', but that doesn't mean that Gandalf actually was reborn in Lothlórien :)

From what I know, speaking about the lore, Gandalf effectively dies after he slays the Balrog, but his spirit was revived and made come back in the World much stronger by Ilúvatar itself, because there are too much important and big things that even the Valar can't do (for example, crafting the Silmarils, reshaping the World, or, in this case, reviving completely a spirit of a Maia).

Said that, Gandalf awakens, forceless and weak, in one of the peaks of the Misty Mountains; then Gwaihir arrives (probably sent by Galadriel herself) and takes him to Lothlórien, where he is sheltered by Galadriel, clothed in White, and indicated by her as the new head of the Istari and the White Council :)
