Harry Potter cast discussion

[RC Fan]

Who do you think would play a good Dumbledore? I really don't think the current actor does the character justice. Any suggestions?

Any discussion of anyone else you think is mis-cast would be great as well.

I think Liz Hurley would be a great Bellatrix but is she British?

 

[RC Fan]

Yep, she is British as far as I know.

As crazy as it sounds, I think Patrick Stewart would make a good Dumbledore. He has such a calm, reassuring voice.

I wanted Peter O'Toole to play the role after Richard Harris died

In case you missed it, you may enjoy this thread which had a similar discussion a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks Figment22!

I guess I missed that one when I did my search.

I think Sean Connery would be a great Dumbledore. I can just see him saying he kicked Voldemort's *** the length of the Leaky Cauldron and halfway down Diagon Alley

I miss Richard Harris!
I think Ian McKellan would be good, but after playing Gandolf, maybe not...Sean Connery....Mmmmm.... he's hot!

I agree!

Ian Mckellan would be great. I find Michael Gambon talks too fast for Dumbledore. He just doesn't have that air about him that Richard Harris did.

I was surprised that they didn't cast Peter O'Toole as Dumbledore but I guess they had their reasons. Or maybe they asked and he said no.

Yeah, he just doesn't have that grand elegance or magnificant stature that Dumbledore should have.

I know Michael Gambon doesn't control the script, but I couldn't stand how it seemed his Dumbledore talked and talked. I just wanted someone to gag him and get on with the movie.
