Gambon as Dumbledore - Movie Spoiler

[celticangel1976]

I agree with you Brooke.  While I think Gambon does a fine job in 
his own right, he's not Dumbledore.  There's an innocence (for lack 
of a better word) to Dumbledore that is missing in this movie.  He's 
always described as being so sweet and grandfatherly and by looking 
at him you'd never guess he's the powerful wizard that he is.  I 
don't get this at all with Gambon.  But I think part of that isn't 
just the actor, but the new "look" of Dumbledore as well.  Sadly, 
Harris just WAS Dumbledore for me and Gambon just isn't.
