Nobody left a comment? For our dear Albus Dumbledore even though he wasn't as good as we thought when he was young?

Just being random. Dumbledore is the greatest headmaster of Hogwarts. ;)

Hmm, you didn't read the sixth book?

Dumbledore is, of course, my favorite character.

I do not like how he is portrayed in the movies. Nothing like him. Nothing at all. I get very angry, just thinking about it. So I shall not.

Certainly. Including Dumbledore, many characters in the movie were portraited horribly. But I thought he was better portraited in the first two movies and…well, his actor changed, so did the director.

The Dumbledore in the movie was just not Dumbledore enough.

I most certainly agree with you. Though Richard Harris was not correct for Dumbledore (he was old, as is Dumbledore, but the thing about Dumbledore is that you don't realize he is old), he was much better than Gambon. Gambon is too.. rough. Dumbledore is serene and calm. You never see anger from him unless people he cares about are threatened, and then he only expresses anger toward those who have done the harm. In the fourth movie, however, Gambon rushed at Harry, grabbed him, shook him and demanded to know if he put his name in the goblet. That made me cringe. Oh, how it made me cringe. There are many other instances like this, making it almost unbearable for me to watch the films.

That part was definitely horrible. I couldn't even bare to watch a Dumbledore so fierce to Harry. Gambon was too rough. He may had been a good role for Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings, but he was not a good Dumbledore. Dumbledore is, as you have said, supposed to be serene and calm, with smile on his face, and so lively that no one ever realizes his age. I was also very disappointed by Dumbledore's outfits. How did his beard got curly anyway...? And why was it even tied up? O, it was just horrible.

Yes! I'm glad you brought up the point about his outfit!
He dresses with great care, his beard is well tended. Smooth and long, not frizzy and unkempt. His robes, in the films, they are scraggly! But really he looks quite smart. This was presented in the very first chapter of the first book. One of the first things described about him was his shoes. A man doesn't wear high-healed shoes without having clothes to match accordingly. And then the scene in The Half Blood Prince, in which Harry and Dumbledore went into the penseive, to see a younger Dumbledore walking down the street in a plum colored suit.
How important his appearance is! How it reflects his character!
Oh, I weep, to think of the films.

The films were definitely nothing comparing to the books. At least he kind of stood out in the films because of his "still quite unique but not exactly what was expected" outfits. Plum color, exactly! His favorite color should be plum. He should have the strangest outfits in the world to match his unique personality. He's got his own beats of drums that people tend to follow. Also, I don't think he looked intelligent enough in the films.

Michael Gambon is as good as he can be in the OotP movie, i think.:/ Well, he is not anything like Dumbledore. It’s really traumatic having Harry Potter movies without Dumbledore. But that other man Michael Gambon plays, cause he simply just isn’t Dumbledore, is good enough in OotP I think. Well, i’ve only seen it once jet, so maybe I will change my mind.

I remember the day I heard that Richard Harris died. (First actor who played Dumbledore) I was like ten years old, and I poured my eyes out! But it's good to remember that in the book he can look however I want him to. Whenver he enters the room in the book,I get a tingly feeling down my spine. Definately a powerful character.

i love Dumbledore.. as cited from book five by Remus Lupin (moony to padfoot, prongs, and wormtail), Dumbledore has shrewd ideas, but it turns out that his ideas are accurate, or something like that..:D i think it was kinda brilliant, the way he manipulated his death and how he used it against Tom Marvolo Riddle aka Voldemort.
