Original Note:
The claim that "there's no such thing really as canon in Tolkien" is misleading, as most scholars and Tolkien experts consider his published works or even his entire body of work as canon. Also, the so-called Professor is wrong: Gandalf's name is Olórin, not "Olóran". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle-earth_canon#:~:text=The%20term%20Middle%2Dearth%20canon,Middle%2Dearth%20as%20a%20whole.
