His name is Háma, and he knew exactly what he was doing. Quote: "The staff in the hand of a wizard may be more than a prop for age." He was the captain of Théoden's guardand became a good friend of the group, before his passing at Helm's Deep (although I believe he died in the Warg attack in the movie, could be wrong though)

@isabellemoreton9608

Yep! In the book, Háma (the guard) comes pretty close to outright saying he knows what the staff does, but he trusts Gandalf to do the right thing. You can kind of get the same vibe here - "take the staff" came from Wormtongue, and the look on Háma's face here *screams* that he finds the fact that he answers to Wormtongue *disgusting.*

Not once have i noticed before that Legolas helps Gandalf *walk* by giving him an arm to lean on. Such wicked tricksters!

3:00 That subtle look of utter shock and amazement, and nervous swallow from Legolas. Elves in the Tolkien-verse see with more than just eyes. What we see is what the humans there all see: a bright light from Gandalf as he casts off his cloak and reveals his fancy new white robes. But what Legolas sees at least a glimpse of is Gandalf's *true form* , a maia of incomprehensible might and beauty. The power Gandalf is using here, in direct conflict with Saruman's power, has not been seen in Middle Earth in an age. And Legolas is the *only one* who can see what it truly is, like a "Biblically-accurate Angel", when everyone else only sees a pretty man with wings.

I love how once they get into the throne room, Gandalf immediately gets to work freeing Theoden. No fanfare, no games, no grand speech. Just straight to work with the longest part being Gandalf walking across the room while Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are kicking ass.

"you would not part an old man from his walking stick" watching out for that trick should definitely be on the evil overlord list

It is because Saruman's voice is one of his main, "special," qualities, particularly in the book. He is noted for having a beautiful, enchanting, bewitching voice that literally gets his victims to do as he says. Since he's talking directly to another Maiar, and one he knows now to be his better, his voice is no longer matching the smooth, beautiful, charming, bewitching style he could or even tended to use with others. He loses all control and growls with rage at the end. It's amazing exchange between two incredible actors. Thanks for bringing that up. It was so interesting to analyse.

All these years later, and I still can't believe how smooth Théoden's transformation is after Gandalf cures him from Saruman's corruption

I've just noticed now Gandalf says Theoden King (instead of King Theoden), as it would have been in Old English- Þeoden Cyning, because the language of the Rohirrim is basically just Old English. I'm pretty sure when addressing other characters not from Rohan, Gandalf refers to him as King Theoden, such as when he says to Aragorn "His hold over King Theoden is now very strong."
