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

Much of that may be due to the fact that they were first.

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.

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

A less intense Gambon could have made it work
