Recasting Dumbledore; casting Black

[dittanymorgan]

Requiescat in Pace, Mr Harris:
King Arthur
Professor Higgins
Albus Dumbledore
'Nuff said

Since RH died, I have seen internet speculation replacing him with 
Christopher Lee.  Might have worked, had RH not set the benchmark 
already. Now, however I will have an extre-e-eme problem with Mr Lee 
in the Headmaster's role.  It is beyond wrong for "Saruman" to be in 
charge of Hogwarts.  I simply do not associate Mr Lee with kindly 
benevolence (I had the same problem watching Aragon's actor playing a 
lowlife scumbag.)  Please, ask Sir Ian if you want someone from that 
cast.  Or better yet, depending upon how he did in CoS, Mr Harris's 
double, whose name someone out there will know without a moment's 
reflection.

My suggestion to play Sirius (for whom I have a warm snuggly feeling)
is none other than the man who voiced him on the audiobooks, Mr Jim 
Dale.  His photo shows the underlying warmth of Sirius' nature, and 
movie make-up magic can make him look sufficiently harrowed and gaunt 
after incarceration in Azkaban.
