I wish that the old Dumbledore was back! He would never have pushed Harry into the trophies and yelled at him in GoF!

Happy birthday Michael Gambon! Hope you have a great one! And don’t mind the negative comments, some people seem to always bring back OLD stuff (yawn). I also think you are fantastic! Can’t wait to see you portray our beloved Dumbledore again in HBP!

Dumbledore is my favorite character and I don’t care what people say, (ok, I agree a few scenes were very off, but) over all I love Michael’s Dumby.

Michael Gambon is a living legend and a great, multi-layered, complex Dumbledore. Happy birthday, Sir!

Happy Birthday, to a wonderful actor! May you have many more: “Sherbert Lemon, Acid Pops, Licorice Snaps, Tons Of Toffee(from Bertie Botts) and Honey Mead!” And ANYTHING else your little heart desires! You’re fantastic!!!

Speaking of glasses. I noticed in OOTP that Gambon is almost never wearing them. Only during the opening feast does he have glasses on. I thought his performance was great in the last movie, but theres no excuse for not wearing glasses. His eyes just look droopy and worn-out with out them. It makes loads of difference.

“I wish that the old Dumbledore was back! He would never have pushed Harry into the trophies and yelled at him in GoF!”
Thats nothing compare to what we know about him after DH. I loved Gambon in PoA. My complaints about the movies are how they are done except poa, that was great movie, and emma’s acting specially in gof.
Happy birthday mr. gambon.

Happy birthday! I prefer his DD – even though he got a bit aggressive in GoF – to that of Richard Harris’s who looked like he might die any second. Can you really see him battling with Voldemort in OotP? He would’ve had a heart-attack! I also think Gambon’s PERFECT to play the manipulative DD in Deathly Hallows…
He’s awesome and has done far more than Harry Potter so I wish people would just cut the slack. Btw, he’s hilarious!
