McKellen delivers Lord of the Rings inspired message to delighted schoolchildren

He sure does realise how ‘precious’ education is.

Film icon Ian McKellen was visiting schoolchildren at Chew Valley School in England yesterday and decided to use his wizardry to spellbind young minds on the subject of education.

McKellen, who plays Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings film series, didn’t need to use a long winded speech to some up the importance of young people getting a full education.
