That post-time turner scene is Gambon's most brilliant. In it, he's Dumbledore in the present moment who doesn't know anything about sending Hermoine and Harry back to the past to undue some stuff that needs undoing, but also Aware of the Future that NOW DOESN"T EXIST when he tells Hermoine to go back to the past.
If a little dottiness is not called for in such a situation, I don't know when it is!!
