His age and frailty fit the role perfectly.
Sadly, it is also what killed him early in the series also. The new Dumbledore was way too spry and energetic.

Harry Potter is one example of the importance of casting. To me, Richard Harris

Richard Harris fit that role like Patrick Stewart fits Professor X

I thought both Darrins and both Dumbledores were good.

Agreed. But I agree with the OP’s relative ranking.

I thought the opposite about Dumbledore. Richard Harris seemed

And they would've loved to keep Richard Harris in that role had he not died

Really? Is Dumbledore supposed to be frail? Very old, but the books make me

Fun fact: Ian McKellan was asked to be Dumbledore but Richard Harris didn't like him.

Yeah, Richard Harris wasn't exactly PC when it came to his views on homosexuality. A lot of bad blood between

Totally agree. Dumbledore was never the same. The series could have been so much better.

A less intense Gambon could have made it work

I've not researched this closely, but we're all aware that Richard Harris died

I think Michael Gambon is a terrific actor, and a terrible Dumbledore.
