I wonder how different his performance would be if he'd been cast since the
first movie.  Whatever you think of Chris Columbus, he was very faithful to
the books.  If CC had directed Gambon for the first two movies, Gambon
probably would have gotten a more faithful picture of book Dumbledore.
Gambon started with Cuaron, who wasn't as faithful. The  other actors
(Coltrane, Smith , Rickman ect...) had already gotten a handle on their
characters, no matter how closely they read the books.  I just wonder if
Gambon would have a better instinct for Dumbledore had it happened that way.

Anyways, Gambon didn't bother me that much, but then again, I'm not a huge
Dumbledore fan to begin with.
