Jen: Hehe - your last sentence cracked me up, Lee. Gambon works well for the self-serving Dumbledore we hear more about in DH.  I'm not sorry to see him go in HBP, no.  His attempts at rapport with Harry in the latest fell flat.  Like Alla said though, it's not Gambon so much as how the character was written and directed to act.
