i wouldn;t want gandalf being dumbledore. i think t would be weird. Sure he would do an amazing job, but i think it would be overkill ya know? i wouldn't want to borrow from lotrs. Dumbledore is a great character, he deserves his own interpretation... I still say patrick stewart as dumbledore.
I agree about the 3rd film... i think thta was the least like the book. there were huge huge plot holes. I mean, they didnt explain about the padfoot/prongs/wormtail and the map. There was no Quidditch cup (that was a huge part of the book!) It felt like they spent so much time being artsy (the scenes with the dementors outside the castle and the flowers turning frosty) rather than telling the story. Film 5 was my favorite and i found told the story the best. but i agree, i cant help but feel that people who havent read the books don;t really understand whats going on. how can they? Explainations are skimmed over and its such a complex story line! These should have been massive 5 hours films, each one of them!! that would be so awesome.
You don't like ralph fiennes as voldemort? i'm shocked! i think that was the BEST casting choice in the history of ever! fyi, young tom riddle is played by his nephew, "hero".
