Richard Harris, Michael Gambon, and Jude Law have been all the Dumbledores I know of.

I forget which, the Westboro Baptist Church.

Neither McKellan not Gambon was present , but the costumes and makeup were used as in the films.'

Naturally, that associated Gandalf and Dumbeldore in people's minds and I can't find the heart to complain about it.

such a huge fan of both characters, having seen all of the HP films countless times, and pretty much the same for the LOTR movies and The Hobbit. Ian McKellan was the perfect pick for Magneto.

A knight is sworn to valor
His heart knows only virtue
His blade defends the helpless
His might upholds the weak
His word speaks only truth
His wrath undoes the wicked.

One of my favorites, too

"M'lord, the peasants are revolting!"

"Aye, they're always revolting. Now they're rebelling."

Sound familiar?
