Two Different Dumbledores

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2005)

I believe that Richard Harris was the better Dumbledore out of the two that we have seen. Richard Harris was so much warmer, and he literally had the famous Dumbledore "twinkle in his eye". It's such a shame that he passed away, because he was perfect for the part.
Michael Gambon is a fantastic actor, but I can't see him as the Dumbledore that we all know and love. I believe his angry actions in the fourth film did not match with the book---however! I do realize that the books and the films are different, and that the writers were free to do as they wished. I just wish that Harris was back, because he was the best Dumbledore that we all wanted. He was gentle, yet firm, and he always protected Harry and treated him as a grandson, or, perhaps, his own son. Long live Richard Harris!!!
