My choice for Dumbledore would have been Sir Derek Jacobi. He can
pull off the concern, michieviousness, and "twinkling eyes" bit
perfectly, IMO.
About the hair and beard; Dumbledore *is* described as having hair
and beard long enough to tuck into his belt (PS, p.12). I miss the
eyes in the still, but it is in the hospital scene, so maybe that's
why.
Just my 2 galleons~
