I won't be seeing it for a wee while - hate crowded cinemas as I come out in hives at the sound of popcorn crunching and mumbling from the back (watch out cinema purist about) BUT on the subject of this film and having watched the trailers I am deeeeeply concerned at the characterisation of Dumbledore, having seen a scene in which he really goes for it with Harry over the name in the Goblet business. Now those of us who have read the books know that Dumbledore is always supportive of Harry when everyone else thinks he is lying and this great leap is giving me nightmares. I am now worried to watch the film as I think the two choices of actor for Dumbledore so far have been appalling - both are amazing actors, but neither the scriptwriters or the actors themseleves have for me captured who he is, a gentle man with amazing power. Its either one or the other and no in between. Thats just my tuppence worth Rie - the Dumbledore Fan Club xxx

Hi Rie, I always felt Richard Harris did a great Dumbledore, he was (for me) quiet, gentle and yet so very wise.
The new dumbledore seems to have so much energy and for me doesn't seem to portray the wisdom and grace that the first dumbledore had.
I much prefer books to movies though.

I agree that Harris captured the gentle, wise characteristics but not the power which makes Lord Voldemort quake in his tweed moccasins which I think Gambon has, but neither for me managed the balance between the two which is so apparent in the books. The sadness is that I think it would have been something Harris could have been getting to, and he is sadly missed not only for this film, but any others he may have brought his sparkly eyes to RIe xxx

I know what you mean Rie. Who would you have picked to play Dumbledore? I would of liked Sir Ian McKellen (to replace Harris). Just loved him as Gandalf!! LOL.

Sir Ian McKellen would have been good but the problem is he is Gandolf and not Dumbledore I think that Gambon is ok I just have to grow accustom to him. There is only one Richard Harris and he is sadly missed.

I'm lucky I'm from a smaller town with only a population of around 50000 I can go to the first viewing and still not be packed out.

Who would you have picked to play Dumbledore?
I think your pick of Iam McKellan is an ace one, but as Kate said, he is a bit synonomous with Gandalf now, I wanted Richard Attenborough personally.

POssibly they did and he didn't want to or he had other commitments, hard to know how they come up with some casting sometimes lol

No that wasn't him (it was Laurence Naismith in Mr Blunden), he was amazing in his early career in the fantastic Brighton Pier where he was extremely scary, then when older did turn somewhat to smaltz, but did it very nicely, in Jurassic Park as the Park owner and also miracle on 34th Street as Chris Kringle.
