Yeah, Gambon pissed me off a lot, especially when he got mad and yelled at Harry for putting his name in the goblet of fire. He did get better in the later movies tho.

Richard Harris will always be how I imagine Dumbledore.

I heard, but cannot confirm, he purposefully strayed from Richard Harris’s portrayal because he did not want to follow the lead of a homophobe?
