Gambon and Harris- neither suitable as Dumbledore


I know Harris is dead, however, I am a huge fan of the novels and neither one of them is/ was any good as Dumbledore. Harris was too "old", he wasn't the congenial, fun side of him, and Gambon is too strict, Dumbledore wasn't like that, neither of them is right, Attenborough would have been better.

I didn't like Gambon's Dumbledore yelling at Harry & grabbing him in GOF either. I thought Richard was a good enough Dumbledore; I'm sure his illness prevented him from doing his best job of acting in SS and COS.
