I can't quite agree with your assessment of Sir Ian McKellan. He's 
one of the great actors of the last 30 years, and I think he would be 
well up to the task of Dumbledore, should the ocassion arise. In 
fact, I think he might be quite nice.

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.
