OT- LOTR fan discussion thread - SPOILER WARNING

[Growltigger]

They dont in the movie. And he is only mentioned in the books a few times as being a member of the White Council, and one of the Istari - the 5 wizards being Saruman, Gandalf, Rhadagast and two "blue" wizards who went into the East apparently when they landed on Middle Earth.

Dont think the book ever tells you who made up the White Council either? save that it says it was Galadriel's idea to set it up, and that it was primarily by Saruman's expertise did they manage to drive Sauron out of Dol Guldur

I think all we ever find out about Radagast is that he lives at Rhosgosbel near Mirkwood, and is friend to animals and particularily birds (I assume the feathered kind). Doesn't take part in the War of the Ring, which I always thought was a bit strange for one of the Maia
