I've tried to go back and read messages, but I can't find the answer 
I am looking for. Does this mean that they are finding a new 
Dumbledore!?
I was rather fond of the one in the first two movies, and was quite 
outraged at the personality of the actor they found to replace him. 
In GoF, when he grabs Harry and yells and asks him if he put his 
name in the goblet, I just couldn't believe it. Not at all like the 
calm and reserved Dumbledore in the books. I feel that Dumbledore's 
personality is very important to the books, and thought this actor 
didn't even come close. I would be very excited if there was a new 
Dumbledore.
