Michael Gambon is an appalling actor. He openly admits to having never read the books (surely the hundreds of thousands of pounds he is paid should at least require that effort to be made), and I once heard him ramble on about he had such a clear picture in his head of what Dumbledore should be like.

What the fuck? You've never read the books, you've got no goddamn idea who Dumbledore is, and consequently you play him completely wrong.

Seriously, what a waste of an actor. You're not being paid to 'interpret' a character and give it your own personal spin when you don't even know what the hell's going on, you're being paid to act out the character that is in the books.

The only movie I enjoyed quite a lot was the third, Alfonso is a very good director and he captured the tone of that book pretty well and the subtle vibe of the books were there too, unlike in any of the other movies so far. The lows were obviously the bits with Gambon in, particularly as it was his first movie and so there was the shock factor too.

Unfortunately the same director is doing number 6. I really really hope they make something of the death scene. If he and Gambon screw that one up, I'll be pretty pissed off.

M Night Shyamalan is a candidate for the seventh movie though, that could be fun.
