I hate to break it to everyone but Patrick Stewart is another one of those 
old brit stage vets.  I'd be willing to bet good money that his approach to 
character is not all that different from Gambon's or Hopkins.

As I mentioned before, everyone seems attached to Harris.  However, they are 
not affronted that he may have shown the same attention to the books as 
Gambon.

If you want an older commanding stage actor who will read the books, your 
best to find an American ( only because they tend to be more method).  In 
the end, I'd rather a good actor who hasn't read the books than a 'ho hum' 
(Ah hem..Sean Astin) one who sees it as the bible.
