   Lord, Harris is getting geezerish. I wouldn't mind if they'd chuck 
him and get Ian McKellen to take on the role for the latter films; 
he'll be done with the Gandalf franchise by then.  (And all the toy 
companies could just re-issue their leftover Gandalfs in fresh 
packaging, what a bargain!)
