Drout says the POV was given by the Least Knowledgeable Character. I (Variag of Khand) had said the “weaker” character. He mentions one time when we do indeed get Gandalf’s POV: when the wizard wonders about Frodo in The Shadow of the Past. I was thinking Sam in Books 4 and 6, and Pippin in Gondor, Merry with the Rohirrim, and Gimli in the Passing of the Grey Company. There are exceptions: Gollum, Shelob, Sauron–perhaps others.
I can’t make it today, but will show up Wednesday, God willing.
