[HPFGU-Movie] Dumbledore casting Question again!

[Lucy Austin]

Hello all,

Just got back from holiday to find a frightening number of emails to look at. I wanted to say this though, having now seen the LOTR movie:

I don't think the Gandalf actor would have worked as Dumbledore - like someone else on this list said, he was a bit too dark and scary for Dumbledore. I was considering it a lot of the time I was watching because several people on the list said he would be good as Dumbledore. I thought he was perfect for Gandalf though! On reflection, I would say that Richard Harris has the right sort of 'look' for Dumbledore, if only someone could force the arrogant so-and-so to read the books so he knows what JKR wants Dumbledore to be like, not just what the scriptwriters think.

Lucy, looking in despair at nearly 300 emails!
