[HPFGU-Movie] Recasting Dumbledore; casting Black

[Amanda Geist]

Piping up again from back here, munching my popcorn and waiting for the film
to start.....

Peter O'Toole. Dumbledore should have been played by Peter O'Toole to begin
with. Peter O'Toole has those brilliant blue eyes, does whimsy with
naturalness and flair, and can switch to serious and point-focused in
milliseconds. Richard Harris was a great actor, but I do not think he was a
great Dumbledore, and I think Peter O'Toole would be.

~Amanda, who will be giddy if all three of her main casting choices come
through!
