  I agree with you Sue, I did notice his accent slipping a few times. The thing is he is English but for some reason is doing an Irish accent. Apparently he told the directors 'I eel that Dumbledore would be Irish'. I don't agree with him at all. I don't imagine Dumbledore would be Irish at all. I do not like Michael Gambon as Dumbledore - he is too dramatic and too angry. His interpretation of the character is all wrong. Richard Harris had the quirky, gentle, kind and slightly amused Dumbledore to a tee. I miss him.
