RIP Gandalf: Twitter Accidentally Mourns The Death Of Ian McKellen Instead Of Christopher Lee

Harry Potter 'fans' have taken to Twitter to mourn the death of Ian McKellen, AKA Gandalf, after confusing him for Sir Christopher Lee, who passed away on Sunday.

McKellen played the Good Wizard in the 'Lord of the Rings' films, alongside Lee who was cast as the villain, Saruman.
