+361 The person who played the old Dumbledore fitted the character much better than this new Dumbledore , amirite?

He was, according to Wikipedia, pressured by his granddaughter who swore to never talk to him if he refused to play Dumbledore. I was so disappointed when they had no choice but to replace him :(

I read the books, and I remember Dumbledore was a lot quirkier than either of the Dumbledores, but the second one seemed quirkier than the former.

I think so too. The older one was nicer but you could tell his was a bit more frail and not quirky.

I wasn't even aware that he had been replaced.

I agree, the old Dumbledore seemed so wise and nice, while the new Dumbledore seemed so... battle-ready.

(The Doctor): I think that's because of the way the writers portrayed him in the later films. Not because the new Dumbledore is naturally aggressive.

Men who played Dumbledore: Michael Gambon and Richard Harris. Sir Ian McKellin was Gandalf?:)

Yes, Sir Ian McKellen was Gandalf. He was also Magneto. But from what I heard, he was actually asked about playing Dumbledore, and he said he would have turned it down.

I always thought that the new Dumbledore was a better fit for Aberforth...

Yes yes yes! I totally agree and I've always said this too. The older Dumbledore was wiser, kinder, older yet stronger. he was awesome. this new dumbledore is sarcastic, rude, annoying, un-dumbledore like!
