And to think Robin Williams was actually considered for Hagrid. Can you imagine if that had happened? I love Robin but he would've been a terrible fit for that role. Thank God they went with Coltrane. Most of the criticism towards Gambon was due to how different he was from Richard Harris (Dumbledore in the first two films) and in particular how aggressive his Dumbledore was in GoF. He was fantastic in the later films though.

The only time I had any issue with his Dumbledore was in the 4th, but that was not his fault. That was script and direction. Goblet of Fire should have been two movies.

His performance as an actor was fine, but he essentially took a dump on the character as it was established by Harris. Which makes sense as he never saw the films and doesn't seem to care very much. So that being the case it's where the director should've stepped up and been more forceful about what they wanted from the character.
Rest in Peace both Robbie Coltrane and Michael Gambon

tbh i really liked michael gambon as dumbledore, perhaps even preferred him. richard harris was fantastic, but he was so gentle i cant see him being able to do the tougher, more intense scenes that followed later in the series. love them both, and its kind of irrelevant but ive been wanting to say it somewhere for a while.

but... Dumbledore is supposed to be gentle and kind. That's like his thing. Seeing him go into power mode against Voldemort - which of course Richard would have been able to do - would have been so amazing.. I kinda feel like Michael didn't even try to understand Dumbledore as a character, wasn't interested at all and that's really a shame considering how rich and deep Dumbledore really is.
Michael Gambon's acting as dumbledore was at his best in the half blood prince(in my opinion).. He was an entirely new character and I loved how he carried it out..

KingGhidorah5464 That was bad direction, not acting. People always focus in GoF like it isn't the outlier, even though PoA came out first. People also always ignore how Fred and George fought after their age potion failed. Mike Newell simply wasn't a good director. He didn't get characters. He's far too over-the-top and hamfisted. Cuaron and especially Yates knew Dumbledore, and HBP and DH have the perfect Dumbledore. Dumbledore was always shouting and was constantly angry in GoF. His voice sounds thicker for some reason. But in HBP he was just phenomenonal. His speech at the start-of-term feast was top notch. That's what you should show people when they say Gambon was bad. Their bias is pathetic. They make up their mind, and ignore evidence that doesn't fit their made-up narrative.

@@Ranger1812 Gambon was at his best as Dumbledore in the afterlife scene in Deathly Hallows Part 2. He played Dumbledore nearly directly from the books in that scene, it was near perfect. I think a lot of the criticism towards him was because of how different he was from Harris in the first two films (and Harris's Dumbledore was considered by many to be on point with the version from the books). In regards to the directors Mike Newell wasn't perfect but he wasn't terrible either. As over-aggressive as Gambon's Dumbledore was in GoF Ralph Fiennes was at his best as Voldemort in that film and Newell got the dark tone that was needed for that film just right IMO. In contrast Yates completely ruined Voldemort's character in both DH films. For example the Draco hugging scene (Voldemort from the books never would've done that), his cringeworthy declaration that Harry Potter was dead, and the ultimately the final battle scene that led to him disintegrating (WTF, that couldn't have been more of a deviation from what happened in the books and was just completely unnecessary). Also the entire Battle of Hogwarts sequence in DH Part 2 was poorly done because Yates left out so much important material from the books (for example Grawp's role in the battle which was significant, also Buckbeak, the centaurs, and the thestrals). If you look at all of the directors the franchise had Yates as good as he was didn't always respect the source material in his films (Ron for example was also extremely poorly written once Yates took over as director and was nothing like the character in the books). Cuaron, Newell, and Chris Columbus were all better at respecting the material from the books in their films than Yates was.
"Unless you're an orange, obviously." I lost my shit. Literally LOL'd
Geez, the real world chemistry and camaraderie between these two is magnificent to behold. Rest peacefully dear Robbie.
The way they both interact kind of reminds me of how great friends Hagrid and Dumbledore actually were.
RIP both
Rest in peace, Robbie Coltrane ❤

It’s funny that Robbie had such a different interpretation of what Hagrid sounded like, and Rowling probably heard him while writing Hagrid. I think Robbie and Alan were the ones she handpicked for the films, it’s no wonder they’re universally called “the best casting picks”.

0:23 Hagrid-Lemmy lol
there are somethings that the movie actually got better than the books although the books are muuuuch better and in my opinion gambon is one of them. he interpreted dumbledore in a less proverbial way and created a more original wise and powerful character and he still kept dumbledore's absent minded humor and i dnt think harris wouldve captured the ferocity as well as he did i just dnt think so obviously its impossible to be sure but i really like gambon

I sometimes wonder if Ed Harris would have been a good choice for the darker later movies. Gambon was perfect
J. K Rowling picked the best 👌💚
What I find interesting is both Dumbledores are Irish in real life, yet Harris played down his real Irish accent in the film, whereas Gambon, whose Irish accent is barely there now, played Dumbledore with a strong Irish accent. I love both but Harris will always be Dumbledore to me.

I agree. At first, when I was growing up, I really didn't accept Michael Gambon as Dumbledore because I grew up seeing Richard Harris. It was until Half Blood Prince is when I began to accept Michael as Dumbledore because I wasn't sure if Richard could've portrayed Dumbledore they way we seen as the series gets darker.
Michael Gambon and Maggie Smith appeared together in Gosford Park.
It's hilarious to me that the person who would become the voice of Hagrid thought Hagrid sounded like somebody else.
Harris stuck more to the potter books, but that doesn't translate well into movies, which require more expansive characters...less "disney-ish" to be in a higher echelon. Gambon brought Dumbledore to life beyond a stereotypical story book wizard.
could robbie's pants be any higher?
Gambon is a very, very funny man and at times a complete loon! Two funny men.
