>Dumbledore: EDMUND GWINN & ROBERT DONAT
>I'm afraid this one might require some genetic splicing, but take the
>kindly bearded face and gentle voice of Edmund Gwinn (MIRACLE ON 34TH
>STREET) and combine it with the stature and professorial quality of
>Robert Donat (GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS), and I think you have an ideal Albus.

Bart:
I was thinking about Edmund Gwenn myself for Dumbledore, but he wasn't quite right. I like your genetic splicing idea. 

Here's a thought. I can't really think of any actors who would make a good Harry Potter, but, in anime, Tetsuro from Galaxy Express 999 (late 70's version), although on the short side, has the right combination of toughness, niceness, and an insistence on playing the hero. 

Note to everyone: If you can't remember the name of an actor or role, try http://wwww.imdb.com
