Geoff:
Maybe, but I think each character brings something of their own to a part. 
Quite frankly, I've never liked Michael Gambon in the part. He seems too 
bullish for Dumbledore. OK, maybe that's a reaction to him following 
Richard Harris but in the books, Dumbledore comes over as rather 
low-key even in confrontational situations - a polar opposite to Gambon.

But that's just my gut reaction. Others will doubtless disagree. They're 
bound to - this is HPFGU after all.
