Oh please. He's just spend his usual summer with the Muggles. He's spent all of an evening (in the movie) with the Weasley's, and he's had his first happy magical morning in a long time. He says "I love magic." Is there really a problem?
Dumbledore's character change is, however, a legitimate source of ire. It's a big change from the character in the book. Prudence pointed out that the anger in Gambon's performance could have been a deliberate point of story condencing. But what about if it were just a point of editing, and the explanation for it ended up on the cutting room floor?
I've a feeling there's another whole film on the Goblet of Fire cutting room floor.
