Great idea! I love the idea of McKellen as Dumbledore. I wasn't
impressed with Harris. He seemed a bit cold to me. D is supposed to be
warm and inviting. We also know he (McKellen) can be very serious (which
is required in GoF), from his part on X-Men! I wonder if he'd consider
reading the book to learn the character?

Oooh...I like this idea....
