<font color='#000F22'>Here is another activity for people to give their opinion on. Who looks the best Dumbledore?
The key word here is looks. Please don't use this thread to continue the "best portrayal of Dumbledore" wars. The first person to mention angry Dumbledore in GoF will be thrown into the cauldron alongside Snape  !From PS (page 12, English edition):- QUOTE Nothing like this man had ever been seen in Privet Drive. He was tall, thin and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak which swept the ground and high-heeled buckle boots. His blue eyes were light, bright and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles and his nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice. This man's name was Albus Dumbledore. So, who looks like that description the best? Richard Harris who appeared in the first two movies, or Michael Gambon, who has taken over the mantle since Harris's sad death.   Personally, I think it's a difficult one. Dumbledore is around 150 years old and so I think Harris had the correct aged look, but Gambon has the twinkle in his eye that Harris didn't. I think though that Gambon's clothes help give off the air of eccentricity that DD has and would help him move about quicker than the clothes that Harris wore as DD. It's a toughy.....but I'm going with Gambon.</font> This post has been edited by Hagiographer13: May 25 2008, 08:57 PM |

But I think Harris looked perfect, whereas Gambin looks like any old man, grey and troubled, rather than having any glint in his eye and warmth for others. 
It worked! Those who previously voted can now vote again.
I will wave the flag for Gambon, (I know the smilie is waving a towel but it's the best I could find!!)
