A dragon-firework made by Gandalf and set off by Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took in The Fellowship of the Ring film
By the late Third Age, the wizard Gandalf had created a number of fireworks, sold or given away in the Shire during his many visits there, in particular during Bilbo's Farewell Birthday Party.
Gandalf created many different kinds of fireworks, namely "squibs, crackers, backarappers, sparklers, torches, dwarf-candles, elf-fountains, goblin-barkers and thunder-claps", as well as "rockets that burst in either stars of blue and green or in a rain of flowers", according to the Song of Frodo and Sam. He also created fireworks shaped as trees or dragons, and it is possible that his skill with pyrotechnics was based on his possession of Narya, the Ring of Fire, or else that the Ring augmented his native power as a Maia.
Each firework was marked with a large red 'G' and an Elf-rune. Certain Hobbit children speculated that the G stood for 'grand'.
