Goblet of Fire out on DVD today!

[LSPoorEeyorick]

I'm just thinking of the kind of force required for the climax of OotP and there's no way Harris at his age could have had the fire and strength required for that. And the physical demands (and sheer screen-time) of HBP... there's just no way. While I disagree with the *writing* of Dumbledore's character in the later films (frankly, the earlier ones too-- I always mourned the lack of oddment, blubber, nitwit, tweak--) I think that Gambon is playing the role as written in Kloves' screenplay.

Also, I totally love magic, and can imagine myself saying so in the situation (or, in the audience, at that exact moment.) Harry is the eyes of the audience, ergo, it's OK that he said "I love magic" if it's something I'd say. For you, perhaps not. For me, just fine.
