Which actor who played Dumbledore do you prefer?

Do you like Richard Harris who played Dumbledore in the first and second movie? Or do you like Michael Gambon who played Dumbledore in the third and beyond movies?

For me, I liked Richard Harris because he presents more of the gentle side of Dumbledore. And I have a feeling he could have shown the anger side of his character in the later movies if he hadn't died, God rest his soul.

Michael Gambon is a good actor and a considerably good replacement for Harris, but he just doesn't give off that gentle vibe Harris did.

ye you're right, the first one seemed perfect, a little old but a really wise and smart type of dumbledore. The other one seems more younger, his voice is a little weird but hes not bad i guess

harris will always be dumbledore to me...I mean, gambon's doing a decent job, but yeah, he's just not showing dumbledore's calm side enough.

I disagree Ron.


On topic; I liked Harris alot better. I dunno...he's just more like what I imagined Dumbledor to be like. And he spoke slowere, something I've always thought of Dumbledore. Gambon speaks waaaay too fast for me.

^^yah, i agree. I think the first guy is better. He's quieter and that's how JK Rowling described him in the book.

I personally like the first dumbledore. He looked so much warmer and nicer then the other one, although he did fit in the fifth movie.

I prefer Richard harris because he was a more like the Dumbledore in the books. And he had a great performance.
