Richard Harris is a great actor

[Nicky]

Well, he is! Okay, so Dumbeldore wasn't EXACTLY the way I pictured him
in the book personality-wise (I thought he'd be much kinder) but if
Harris is only going by the script, and not reading the books, then we
can't expect much. Even so, we all know that Harris is a bitter old sod
(excuse my French) which just goes to show how good an actor he is! In
Gladiator he makes Marcus Aurelius seem soft and world-weary, and
Dumbeldore is just kind enough, and very wise. In an interview with
Empire Online (I've been reading ALL the HP related articles) he said 

'When asked if he was enjoying doing the film, he replied "I'm actually
not. I'm in it, so is Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman and Robbie Coltrane,
but we're there sort of as special appearances. We come along and we do
it and we get off and we go home."'

He had some good words about Dan but on the whole, Richard Harris is a
nasty piece of work in my opinion (my opinion may not be worth much,
mind you), but as he can portray a wonderful character fairly well then
obviously he is a good actor. I have his face in my head for
Dumbeldore, but I wouldn't mind seeing Gandalf (forgotten his name) as
Dumbeldore. He seems to have a better attitude to learn the character
at least.

Nicky (who has never really liked Harris as a person, from what she has
seen in interviews)
