Like I get why people prefer the first as that is arguably more ‘accurate’ to the books but idk Gambon’s feels slightly more nuanced: no disrespect to Harris btw, a lot of that nuance comes from the later plots anyway. They are two very different Dumbledores, but I think that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone likes to point to the infamous Goblet of Fire scene to say Gambon did a bad job, which I don’t think is fair. I’m not sure if this is unpopular or not, but I like both portrayals. Imo he fits more for the darker films, especially Half Blood Prince. He has that immense power like Harris’, but in a very different way. He’s manipulative, he pulls the strings, he raises Harry as a ‘pig for slaughter’. One that’s not really explicitly mentioned in the books, more implied. He had a powerful aura without displaying it.īut Michael Gambon perfectly captures the darker side to Dumbledore. He never raised his voice but everyone always listened to him. Richard Harris perfectly captures what Dumbledore is in essence: a kind, wise old wizard mentor to Harry. The two Dumbledore’s are very different, but IMO represented the two sides to Book Dumbledore. I think I did notice, but I don’t remember it bothering me. I think if they could find a middle ground between the two actors, it would be a really great portrayal of Dumbledore. In fact he told Umbridge he would not allow her to. Book Dumbledore would never put his hands on a student. And of course, the infamous GOF scene after Harry's name gets chosen. Dumbledore usually speaks in a casual, matter-of-fact way, like nothing bothers him (until it does). He was visibly angry at Fudge and yelling in the courtroom. An example of that would be Harry's trial in OOTP. He had that calm, cool, collected but firm vibe. And in the hospital wing when Colin was petifried. And when he announced that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened again. He also was good in serious moments like the Mirror of Erised scene. Harris had more of that twinkle in his eye and caring for Harry, like in the hospital wing in Philosopher's Stone. And of course, "Severus, please." I think that line was delivered perfectly. Some more serious moments were done well, too, like the fight in the ministry in OOTP, when Harry gets possessed. He's also a bit more flamboyant, which is how Dumbledore is described in the books. And at King's Cross in the 7th movie, "Of course it is happening inside your head Harry.". Like at the end of POA when the kids come back with the time turner, he gives a little wink. To the point where he's kinda unrecognizable in HBP compared to POA.Īnd certain scenes, like where he is more cheeky, it works.
