Dear Warner Brothers,

We, the undersigned are beseeching you to replace Michael Gambon with another actor to play Albus Dumbledore in the next Harry Potter films.

Is it perhaps the case that your directors or casting agents have not bothered to read the thousands of commentaries available from fans and film critics who are completely disappointed with Mr. Gambon's approach to playing Albus Dumbledore?

If so, then please allow us to save you the time you would need to go and read these reviews (about 5 minutes if you log on to any worthwhile Harry Potter fan site). Here below you will find not only our names and opinions but the reasons we believe Warner Brothers is making a huge mistake with Michael Gambon.

Actually, let me begin:

Your chosen actor, Mr. Gambon made the following comments during and interview with Empire Magazine:

Empire: Are you kind of easing into the role a bit more now you have done one film as Dumbledore?

Gambon: I just play him as myself; I don’t ease myself into any role really. I stick a beard on and play me. Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.

Empire: Have you still not read any of the books?

Gambon: Well, I don’t see any point. I’ve got the scripts. People who have read the books get miserable because of all the bits that have been cut out. So I just read the script. That's the best way.

OK, so he doesn't read the books and he doesn't even act. He says so himself.

Could it be any clearer?

I support this petition. I was actually glad when Dumbledore died in the film, no more watching Michael Gambon ruin his brilliant character!

I support this petition. for many reasons he is a horrible actur(or apparently not one) he makes dumbledore seem too agressive. dumbledore was never as agressive as he was, especially in the 4th book.

Snape didn\'t kill Dumbledore, Michael Gambon did. For the love of God. Get. Rid. Of. Him.

I have never seen Gambon as Dumbledore, comparing him to Harris or not. Of all the actors in the films, Gambon has never felt like he fit in or like he was part of the world or characters Rowling created. Patrick Stuart was always the right choice for Dumbledore, and it's too bad for us fans that your casting directors never saw that. I will still see and enjoy all the films, but I will forever be left wanting more from the Dumbledore portrayal.

I definitely support this. How can you take an actor who doesn't even bother learning his character, for such an immensely important character? Albus Dumbledore is supposed to be a grandfatherly, serene, and calm leader, not an impatient/frustrated looking old man. Sir Ian Mckellan's performance as Gandalf would have been much more suited for Albus Dumbledore.

I support this Petition. Awful Dumbledore. I'm not saying that the first guy, Harris I believe, was as great as everyone claimed he was. He was pretty boring. Rowling thought of Dumbledore as strolling the halls of Hogwarts whistling. But he at least stuck to the "nice Dumbledore" theme. He never accosted Harry.
