Heaven's no! I wasn't serious! I was being facitious about the Movie Director's seeming to be trying to "modernize" the films...leaving out more and more Hogwart's Traditions, etc. But, I don't really think it would ever go THAT far!!!!!!!!

oh, i get what you mean tatewin. it was kinda like an idea the director got.

tatewin it seems the ipod conversation we had went a little airy I was just responding to what was written not what would actually be int he movie. I read what tatewin wrote and answered in the same vein as what if I guess I shoud have put that in there somewhere my bad. I hope that they leave as much in the movie as possoible I hear that Dobby is out and that Kreacher is in so we know that much.

Hey Oona! I am still following your "footsteps"! Lol.
I know I was being sarcastic when I said that, if WB had their way, they'd have Harry Potter chasing Voldemort down while riding on in-line skates and listening to an I-pod! I was using that extreme to show how the films seem to be turning more "modern" against Hogwart and wizard tradition. Unfortunately, too many posts have occurred since then and the intentions got watered down, that's all. Actually, to be totally honest, I might have been a little hard on WB, but the jury's still out! We'll see, but I don't think we will ever see Harry with an I-pod or inline skates, do you?......I thought not! Have a great day tomorrow!!!!

hey guys! theres no one here

I know...everyone's busy with school, I guess. I don't want to see this club lose it's forum, so I hope more people get involved soon!!!!

i dont want this club to loose its forum! wheres everyone?

Will we loose the forum.... *gasps*

Do we have any events going on here... I know I'm only the Vice... but I was wondering if we could get something going...
In the Minerva McGonigal fan club I got the "Dear Diary" going. It is simply what you think he/she would right in their diary about a days work. I'll start.

Dear John (I don't like calling you Diary, so John will have to do)
This morning I was up early becuase Phaux was wanting out for some exersize. After that I did my morning rituals of face creams and hair stuff. Kids only think I'm 400 years old. Ha!
Minerva tried to make the moves on my again. She's so subtle... it's like a club upside the head. Well, I do like her, but she always looks like she's mad at me. Oh well, back to work.
Albus.

Yes, we could lose it if it does not stay active!!!! Right now we are voting for our favorite Caption Contest photos...check out the thread and choose your favorite then vote for the corresponding number on the top right of the photo. if more get involved again, there will be more contests to come!!!! It is just not one thread that needs to be used, but a least two or three. The more the better, really! So, help me keep Dumbledore's Site alive, okay!!!!!

I don't want to lose it I'll try to keep it alive

^^ i like the Diary thing! it was awesome!!
ill try to keep here alive

oh okay...you had me going there for a while babe! lol!

I was certainly being sarcastic! Anyway, back to our man Dumbledore. If he goes down in history as his character deserves, who do you think should be his true "representative".... Richard Harris or Michael Gammon? Who more honestly represents Dumbledore in your mind, and why? To me, there is only one choice....Richard Harris. He WAS Dumbledore in every way.

Yes, I agree that Richard Harris was more of what I thought Dumbledore was like. He was soft spoken, but he could also command attention. Plus, he had that age about him that made him seem soo much wiser. Michael Gammon is a good actor, but I think he makes the character a bit too younge. It sounds like he's younger than what he was in the first movies. Maybe the character needs that kind of strength to get through the last movies, becuase the 6th book is very strong for him.

Richard Harris!! Though he seemed to be better for the 5th and 6th, with the weary tierd bits... too bad...

Yes! Michael is a wonderful actor, and this is certainly not meant to be any insult to him....he had big shoes to fill when he stepped into Richard's role.....how do you match perfection? Harris, unfortunately, was the perfect Dumbledore!

Welcome back, DracosDuchess! Some people are saying that they thought Richard Harris seemed too frail to play Dumbledore. They couldn't see him jumping off the cliff in Book 6, etc. I have to disagree. Dumbledore didn't come off strong unless he had to! Where I agree that Richard Harris was probably rather ill, especially when filming the second movie, Dumbledore was not! He could show forcefullness, as he did when he yelled across the main hall when the students were panicing over the troll. That "SILENCE!" sounded pretty darn strong to me! I still believe that Richard harris, despite being so ill, WAS Dumbledore.
