Hi Tiffany!
Yes we are all entitled to our own opinions and I do have to 
acknowledge that Gambon has "grown-on-me" a bit as Dumbledore (didn't 
have much of a choice did I?) But I still would have preferred 
O'Toole in the role.
Re: Gambon <I know that he looks much younger than book!Dumbledore,>
I really do think that the Casting Director would have had a little 
bit of a problem finding a 150 year-old English actor to fill the 
role! :-) Hee Hee!
