Lets hope that Gambon has gotten some feedback from someone or read 
some fan posts that there were many fans who were not too pleased 
about his interpretation of Dumbledore. Maybe just maybe he will go a 
little more in debth in GoF.  We have a new director, who I hope will 
stay truer to the books than Cuaron.  Does anyone know if Mike Newell 
has been interviewed, has he read any of the books or is familiar 
with the franchise??
