Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (SPOILERS) - Page 11

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!!

True, I think we were just set against him from the start because we loved Harris's performances in the first 2. Having seen the next 3, I should go back and watch the first 2 to see how I feel about it now.

That, and I thought the actor who played Gandalf would've made a great 2nd Dumbledore.

BTW: we're getting dangerously close to some book spoilers in this movie spoilers thread. Some of us have not finished DH.

Had he not played Gandalf, I agree, Ian McKellen would have been awesome. However, two wizards too close together in the space of his career.

I'm warming to Michael Gambon, he is so very different than the warm and comforting Richard Harris, but as WB and others have posted already, Gambon's portrayal is much closer to the books. I liked him a fair bit in OotP, I need to re-watch it, I know I missed a good deal, the film moved very quickly.

Yes, I agree. Please don't post spoilers for Deathly Hallows or Half-Blood Prince here.

Spoilers for Half-Blood Prince?!?!? Um, not that I will do so on purpose, but the spoiler alert for the previous Harry Potter book is no longer valid.

Wait ... here's one spoiler for that book: Read only the last 50 pages, and save yourself 700 pages of pure, unadulterated boredom.

I haven't read the books, but I have seen the films. I know there are others in the same situation. Posting spoilers from the 6th book would be bad, since the 6th MOVIE has not been made yet.

My understanding is that this is discussion of the 5th MOVIE.

Quit posting and get reading people!

For a thread discussing the 5th movie would not a discussion of events in the sixth movie, not yet made, be spoilers?

I guess I'll reserve judgment on the Harris/Gambon debate until borrowing a copy of DH, but I always saw Dumbledore as a slightly kooky grandfatherly type when I was reading the books rather than a scary old homeless man. (It seems I am in the minority here) Granted, I've only read each book once, but still......
