He's supposed to look quite haggard and weary by the end of the series alright. He does do a great job the whole way through the movies, so kudos to him.

I didn't like the choice of actor for Mundungus Fletcher.

Me either!He reminds me a bit of Del boy from only fools and horses and I get why they did that but Dung didn't come that way to me he was more cowardy and sneaky!

Hes also supposed to be dirty with long matted hair. The guy in the film was too clean cut in appearance.

I hated Gambon as Dumbledore. From his voice to his costumes. Harris looked like how I imagined Dumbledore. Dumbledore didn't speak with an Irish accent...Harris nailed his voice. Also, he seemed very aggressive in the movies. If Gambon had of read the books, he could've understood the character better imo.

With Harris there was this aura that he was the most powerful wizard of all time....Gambon played a hippy version. I don't know how Harris would've portrayed his duel with Voldemort....

Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman and Robert Coltrane were perfect choices.

Harris as Dumbledore was brilliant, Michael Gambon was such a disappointment..overall i think the cast was great, with the exception of Evanna Lynch as Luna! Im sorry but she is just not how i imagined her..like i know shes meant to be odd, but shes in ravenclaw, so she's supposed to be really smart, the way she was portrayed in the films was like she was a spaced out retard! and Ginny was just awful aswell, isnt she supposed to be witty and cheeky, and all the guys love her, and also pretty? she does not come across well in the films..no chemistry at all between her and radcliffe! even at the end with the 'nineteen years later' notice how they didnt let her speak in it? because she wudnt have been convincing! Fiennes, Coltraine, Rickman, Oldman and Bonham Carter were amazing! and mcgonagall 2, she was exactly how i pictured her!

totally agree with u, gambon played the part so aggressive! especially in the prisoner of azkaban when they used the time turner to save sirius..dumbledore was meant to be gentle and patient! and really wise..gambon was a terrible choice!

I think that Snape, Lupin and Sirius were great. They all portrayed their roles extremely well. As much as I love Micheal Gambon, he was probably the worst in relation to JKR's version of Dumbledore.

Draco was rather middlin too but he was fine.

I think Gary Oldman as Sirius was excellent, especially in the 3rd film/book. Was devastated when he was killed off in Book 5.

I've issues with Professor Trelawney. I can't decide whether I like her, or not. I think that the film portrayed her more of an eccentric character, than seen in the books. The scenes she featured in in the films, I struggled to watch through, while in the books, I thought she was an interesting character at most...

Alan Rickman - Snape
Jim Broadbent - Slughorn
Helena Bonham Carter - Bellatrix Lestrange

I recently re-watched all the Harry Potter films.

I agree with previous posts, the Weasleys are perfect. Molly in particular, she's exactly how I imagined her in the books. If only Gambon understood his character aswell as she did.

Maggie Smith played McGonagall well, she's underused though.

Best is Snape. Lupin, Luna, Sirius, Bellatrix, Ron honourable mentions too.

Hermione, Harry, Voldemort are meh. Not bad just not brilliant either.

Michael Gambon is just woeful in Goblet of Fire in particular. He flips out for no reason. Dumbledore only got angry once in the books iirc. In the films Dumbldore cowers and shouts at people....II don't get the criticism people had of Harris. I think him fighting Voldemort with someone as frail as Harris would have reinforced how powerful Dumbledore was. He had that presence. He had the beard, the hat, the proper robes. The aura, and his Irish accent was much less pronounced.They turned Gambons Dumbledore into an angry hippy.

I pretty much agree with Ivy, especially with not the brilliant once.
