Michael Gambon "Top Gear" Interview

Quite possibly one of the most hilarious Harry Potter related interviews that you'll ever watch! In this conversation on the Brit show "Top Gear", Gambon briefly discusses his role as Dumbledore, acting methods, lying to interviewers (as in being a dancer for the Royal Ballet Company), his love of engineering and his poor driving. A must watch for anyone, even non-HP fans!

hilarious!! he's completely mad - actually I think if Dumbledore were a muggle this would be him. He's got the quirkiness and humour that DD shows in the books.

I don't think Gambon's too energetic as DD. I once thought so until I re-read the books. He is actually described as energetic. It's only at the end of the 5th book that Harry notices how old he seems.
Book 3 "Professor DD, though very old, always gave an impression of great energy".

Hahaha! Oh my God, that was hilarious! Michael Gambon is a very funny and talented man, unfortunately he is completely wrong for the role of Dumbledore. Oh well :(
Pat says....
I think Michael Gambon's Dumbledore is too energetic. In the books, Dumblebore is portrayed as a calm, gentle person; in the movies in which Gambon plays, Dumbledore is constantly moving quickly (he's supposed to be an OLD man), he pushes Harry, yells, etc. I'd like to see a return to the calmer version.
What's this?
