timrob12 It is. It was horrible when he couldn't remember Alan Rickman's name yet called him his best friend. And although I never expected him to understand let alone remember the intricacies of Harry Potter, his memory tells him Snape pushed him off a mountain. Not overly far off the truth, but it's still affected. But it's because he's reached an age at which memory loss often occurs, and because of that he's had a long and wonderful career. And for that we should be thankful. "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." - Albus Dumbledore

Instead of focusing on the one film that fits your preconceived narrative, look at the evidence to get to the conclusion. Instead of focusing on him screaming at Harry, shouting all the time, and always being angry and having a "thickness" to his voice, look at his speech in HBP.

All he can ask about is Harry Potter and his voice is annoying, needs to slow down. We were in the presence of a great so also ask him about life, things he's done in his life outside of acting, he was 75 at the time of the interview he's lived a life worth talking about so lets get to know the man. I started to pay attention when the audience started asking their questions, they got him talking about more than Harry Potter. The only good thing that I can say about the interviewer is that he listened very well - he gave Michael a good amount of space to speak & was helpful to Michael in clarifying what the students were asking. From North London.
