See Michael Gambon as Dumbledore!
Hey folks, Harry here with a look at Michael Gambon as Dumbledore, taking over for the great Richard Harris. Gambon looks fine in the part I think. I hear this HARRY POTTER book is the best of the bunch so far - well... at least till this new one is shipped. Or was the best GOBLET OF FIRE - I can't remember. Here ya go...
Hey Harry, sent you a few things before, but haven't made it on yet! Our fantastic UK schmabloid newspaper 'The Sun' has dug up a pic of Michael Gambon as Dumbledore from the new Harry Potter flick. I think it was raining during filming thus the beard coat!! Hope you can use

Yeah that costume looks pretty funny...considering it's a shot o
by minderbinder
Considering all the shots we saw of Harris were studio stills, isn't it a bit unfair to compare to a shot that's obviously off camera, off set and not fully in costume? Personally, I thought Harris was the worst performance in HP 1 and 2, I think Gambon has a huge opportunity to improve on him. And yes, Harry. The third book is generally considered to be the best. So have you read the first two yet?

Anyone who knows anything about films can see that this image is from a "Harry Potter" lookalike contest that was held last November in Van Nuys, CA. I WAS THERE SO I KNOW! This guy came in second place behind some used-car dealer from Sherman Oaks. But, you nerds continue to fudge up your Underoos at even the slightest HINT of news from this bloated, self-important crap factory. The wool's been pulled right over your beady, porsine eyes and you don't even know it! Why don't you stop coming here mewling like WHELPS for scraps from Lord Tubby's table and JUST WAIT FOR THE FILM TO COME OUT! It's a little over a year, kittens. You can handle it. Deny the truth all you want, but you can never deny this: THE EGG OWNS YOU.

One too many trips to the trailer minibar that morning...

Isn't this the movie where Hermione gets sodomised by - of all things - a MONKEY?!?!? OK, I'm already sick of that one. sk
-
And to think, not only did someone get paid to make him look like crap , someone also got paid to take a picture of that crap. What a world.
-
...because in this book, the Professor gets sodomized...by of all things...a MONKEY!!!
He does look drunk. -
Something about this picture doesn't add up. Maybe it's the whole thing that Harris IS Dumbledore ... and it'll be hard to replace him. Ahhh, I don't know ... this guy just looks bad.

READ THE BOOKS, HARRY! Honestly, you are not "spoiling" a movie by reading the book that it's an *adaptation* of! Would reading Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings trilogy "ruin" the movies? Put DOWN the DVD remote, find a comfy couch, and enjoy. Hell, you could probably finish the first Harry Potter book in less time than it takes to watch the extended version of Fellowship Of The Ring...

Looks like Gambon was sodomized by...of all things...A MONKEY!
by a winner is you
Or perhaps he had just stumbled out of the who-knows however long make-up session and was longing for some good strong ale. He looks quite like Harris' Dumbledore, though...
-
That shit is priceless. Kids suck.
-
Looks like somebody woke up a transient and said "you wanna be in a movie? You get a bottle of Thunderbird!"
-
Michael Gambon rules and was certainly the least boring thing to come out of Gosford Park. Anyway, Harry, read the fucking books. They are damn fine books and offer a thrilling read. Stop being a stuck-up, "too cool to read them" prick.
-
Honestly, the books are written for 9-12 year olds, should be right up your alley. My seven year old has read them, and is awaiting the fifth with great anticipation. Seriously, though, why not read them? Do you have a thing about not reading so-called children's fiction? Or is it that you do not like to read book in and of themselves?
-
for anyone who has not seen it on A&E....find a copy of LONGITUDE!.....outstanding miniseries.....that was my first notice of Gambon and his excellent acting ability.
-
It is fair to note that adult males are not the target audience for the HP books, and the books are in fact essentially unreadable by adult males. It is hard enough slogging through THE LORD OF THE RINGS, which was not written with human readers in mind.

starring Hermoinies breasts and Hulk Hogan fooling everyone in his "Mr. America" mask with flabby orange skin and mustache poking out

Michael Gambon is the sexiest tomboy beanpole on the planet.

But I'm sure I'll cope. Just the first of what I'm sure will be many recastings I'll have to deal with before this monster is over. I'll particularly miss those kids, as I've rarely seen a more perfect job of casting. And for my money, "Goblet of Fire" is the epitome, and sadly, too long to film very faithfully. I have no clue how they're going to pull it off.

by workshed
I've always been one to break with etiquette. Gambon was fantastic in 'Singing Detective' and 'The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover' but I believe Richard Harris was irreplaceable. Only Peter O'Toole could have followed in his shoes for me personally.
-
I suspect that when we get a proper publicity still he could look quite a lot like Harris, similar bone structure, even though he is a lot...beefier (presumably Dumbledore spent the summer holidays filling out on pies) I personally would have gone with O'Toole as well but I guess Gambon is more likely to see 2009 when the series is scheduled to finish. I'm not complaining, it's not exactly a challenging role for any elderly actor so the prospect of filling the shoes of a screen legend like Harris (I miss him already) isn't as daunting as it usually would be. Plus Gambon's a damn fine actor

The Potter films have been ok and I'm sure I'll watch and enjoy the third but Rowling's position as the best "children's author" isn't going to last once His Dark Materials gets filmed. After that, the whole culture of what matters in books is going to change. Regards, Eduin

Gambon looks like he needs a lifetime supply of Depends and and a few sessions of shock therapy. what will happen in the HP3? whatever J.K. Rowling wants...she's the one that carries the big wand in this film. good ol' J.K. is a greedy power-hungry, micro-managing, pasty-faced, scone-eating wankette. why see the film version of her verbal vomit? to see children mesmerized for the first hour and half, then start crying and complaining at the midpoint, and finally falling asleep because the sugar high has worn off. but don't worry moms and dads, your kiddies will be wide awake to cry, piss, and moan until you go and buy the lame movie tie-in video games, cute toys to choke on, and the adorable flammable Harry Potty clothing to wear! The magic continues...and J.K. will happily take your money to the bank, so she can buy bangers and mashed.
-
Good one. Have you ever read the short story about the hot pepper eating conest? Nonetheless, my guess is that Jesus wouldn't piss around with tacos, and go straight for chile relanos made with habeneros. My second guess is that he would wash it down with a good cold beer, but not Corona.
