would have done a much better job in POA and GOF if he had read the 
books, and had some idea of what the character was supposed to be 
like!  There are many times in both those movies that I think his 
characterization of DD is definitely "off."  He seems to play the 
part from a "what would I think the reaction should be here" point of 
view instead of "what would Dumbledore do here," which he could have 
gotten if he understood the character in the book!

One problem with Gambon's characterization is the lack of whimsy in 
his portrayal of Dumbledore, who in the books is mercurial, 
mischievious, and, once again, whimisical. I've seen Gambon do comedy 
in movies such as The Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou, so perhaps his 
somewhat serious one-note performance as Dumbledore is the fault of 
the script. I think that Gambon is great in more serious scenes and 
was fantastic in the Department of Mysteries duel against Voldomort. 
Still, Harris played the role with a twinkle in his eye, but it 
doesn't seem that Gambon will have an opportunity for more levity in 
the next two films, which involve him preparing and assiting Harry 
in  the boy wizard's battle against the Dark Lord.
