Snow, I agree about MG as Dumbledore. Harris captured him perfectly, and Gambon is too 'in your face', especially in this movie. The literary Dumbledore is quietly cool and confident, slightly arrogant, but in a likeable way. Gambon's Dumbledore is a bit too excitable, and seems to not have the knowledge and assurance that the book's character conveys. In the books, if Dumbledore says it is so, it must be, but the movie Dumbledore would not impart the same sort of confidence.
