Well, why not :) Dumbledore does, in a way, in my opinion, become 
somewhat of a 'rat bastard' in the Movie version of Ootp, for not 
telling Harry about the Propechy, for not dealing with Harry, and 
getting Sirius killed (which I DON'T believe he's dead!). So, it's only 
fitting that they get an actor who can take the Headmaster of Hogwarts 
that we all know and love and make you start second guessing him. Just 
my opinion that because of the 'change' in Dumbledore, they needed an 
actor who could be, shall we say, harsher than Harris?
Not, that Richard Harris, if he were still alive *couldn't* do it, but 
it would be harder to watch him, than Gambon.
