As I said in another post, I think Harris portrayed the kind 
gentle Dumbledore and I think because of his skill and 
experience as an actor he will be able to portray the angery 
and powerful also.

As far as McKellen, while I haven't seen him in LoR, my 
impression is that he can easily play the powerful and angery 
Dumbledore, but I find it harder to see him as the kind and 
gentle Dumbledore. Not saying he can't do it,he is a great 
actor. I just have a little harder picturing it.
