petition to fire Gambon/yet again!!!

[vincentjh]

It's highly unlikely that any petition like this would succeed. Even
if it does, I wonder who they're going to hire to replace Gamdon. We
all have our dream cast and all have our own mental pictures of how
the characters should look like. However, casting a movie is a
complicated matter and, believe it or not, there are actors who, for
various reason, would not accept the role(s) if offered. 

Personally, I don't see Gambon's portrayal of Dumbledore any more
offensive than, say, Klove's cheesy lines or Dan's wooden performance
early on. It's true that he didn't read the novel. But the script and
direction alone should be sufficient for any actor to prepare for his
character. After all, the acting in a movie is based on the *script*.
If there's discrepancy between a movie character and a book character,
the writer and director should be blamed before the actor. Otherwise,
we should start a petition to fire Emma Watson because Hermione speaks
Dumbledore's lines, Rupert Grint because Ron is not brave enough, and
Alan Rickman because Snape isn't supposed to be attractive.
