Oh, and what was with Dumbledore yelling at and shaking Harry in Goblet of Fire? He trusts Harry implicitly.
Crap, I'm a Potter-geek :P
I totally agree about the Goblet scene, it still does not still well with me.
He was fine for me until the GoF scene. Dumbledore would never do that, what the writers were thinking when they wrote that I will never know.
I like the new one
But Richard Gambon - he just isn't how Dumbledore is supposed to be or how I see him. His voice is no where near how I imagined Dumbledore's voice is, and his appearance just isn't right. Richard Harris looked very majestic and God-like, especially in the Chamber of Secrets, I dont like the way he tells Hermoine about the Time Turner in Askhaban and he doesn't distribute the softness Dumbledore has in the book. But his real downfall was Goblet of Fire: the bits where he burst in on Moody and asked him about Voldemort...he just didn't have enough of that air of power around him; he was tugging Harry about for most of the Book and making too quick movements and...oh he's just poo!
Then again Mike Newell did a really crap job of the Scene where Dumbledore steps in on Moody & Harry. Dumbeldore didn't have that important twinkle in his eye when Harry mentions Voldemort used his blood to come back. I dont even think that was in it. What about the fate of Barty Crouch Junior? Snape's Veritaserum? Quidditch World Cup Game? Sorry but there are so many things I didn't like about GoF Movie, only good thing was Hermoine in that dress and her arguement with Ron about Vicky Krum.
And the scene where he's practically throttling Harry, what was all that about? Dumbledore has always been calm and I don't recall him ever getting angry with Harry in the books.
But Ian McKellen would've been best.
seriously in my opinion Richard Harris was the perfect dumbledore quiet and laid back michael gambon is ok but he seems a little mean towards harry sometimes
don't even get me started on whats different in the films and whats missed out!
by friend has been ranting on about how ian mckellen was dumbledore and how he's not dead yet, while the other says he IS dead yet
but he definately potrayed dumbledore how i imagined him. i still like the new dumbledore though
Although I do agree with some of the points that he might not have been able to do the scene against Voldemort in the Order of the Phoenix.
I mean COME ON - Michael Gambon did not even wear the glass' - what was with that? and with that "dont you all have studing to be doing" (sorry if that was a miss quote) and when he like attacks harry after harrys name is pulled out of the goblet of fire - he just does not have Dumbledore down pat!
i also agree with waht XjORDAN_ANNX3 said lol
-kokobunn-
Old Dumbledore should've worn more festive hats and stuff. With that, he'd be perfect.
I thought Richard Harris was a little weak as the character.
it just got me mad in the 4th movie when he was asking harry how his name got in the goblet b/c he's supposed to automatically trust harry
