Is that what Gandalf yelled at the big demon when he was on the bridge? That he was the owner of the ring of Fire, thus proving his domination over the thing?<hr></blockquote>
AFAIK Gandalf gets the ring after his returning as Gandalf the White. In the book it is said, that he fought several days with the Balrog and finally defeated it then in the depth. Then he ascendended Durins stair naked and was picked up by the King of the Eagles.
BTW, the sorcerors like Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast, aswell as Sauron and the Balrog are all a kind of "superior beeings (Maia)" from the west. Sauron was the servant of Melkor in the first age and the Balrogs were also created by Melkor.
One of this Maia is in fact an anchestor in one of the family lines (IIRC Aragorn and elrond also have some Maia-blood)
