Michael Gambon doesn't see any point on reading the books????

In an interview on Empire Magazine Michel Gambon sayd:

Empire magazine: "Are you kind of easing into the role a bit more now
you have done one film as Dumbledore?"

Michel Gambon: "I just play him as myself, I don't ease myself into
any role really. I stick a beard on and play me. Every part I play is
just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of
course, just me."

Empire magazine:"What makes Dumbledore the greatest wizard of all time?"

Michel Gambon: "I have no idea. I learn the lines that JK Rowling or
whoever writes them, and say them. There's no subtext in Harry Potter
really; it's all magic, anything can happen. Why do I say this?
Because it's a magic spell. It's quite nice in a way. There is a real
freedom to it. Doesn't say much for acting does it?"

 Empire magazine: "Have you still not read any of the books?"

Michel Gambon: "Well, I don't see any point. I've got the scripts.
People who have read the books get miserable because of all the bits
that have been cut out. So I just read the script. That's the best way."

I don't know about you but I'm so hurt with the way this guy express
about doing Dumbledore, he does not deserves the privilege. He said
that he have no idea of what makes Dumbledore the greatest wizard of
all time. He doesn't care about learning who this character is and he
doesn't even dress like him, don't talk like him, don't do anything
like Dumbledore would, well, maybe some jokes he does like him.
I would like to ask all of you that, if you are as mad as I'm about
Gambon playing Dumbledore, we have to make some noise.
We may try at least to make Warner Bros consider the possibility to
change the actor or to make him act (at least) as the books describe
Dubledore is.
I really miss Richard Harris, he will always be Dumbledore in my mind.
