Oh my, yes. You can look through the archives here on OTC or on -movie 
for myriad complaints about Harris - I'm actually more a fan of Gambon 
for his sprightliness and focus on what makes Dumbledore multifaceted 
and a bit barmy. Remember, this is the man who Percy said was mad but 
brilliant - did anyone get a hint of madness from Harris?

Then again, three seconds of "nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak" in the 
first movie would've made an enormous impack but either or both Steve or 
Chris didn't see that as important.
