McKellen talks Gandalf vs. Dumbledore
McKellen talks Gandalf vs. Dumbledore Sir Ian McKellen was recently interviewed by The Guardian where amongst other things he discusses Dumbledore vs. Gandalf, the character who he played in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

McKellen says that while he and Michael Gambon are close friends, the topic of "how to play a wizard" has never come up. And as far as if he would have taken over the role of Dumbledore from the late Richard Harris, McKellen said:

"People say to me, don't you wish you'd played Dumbledore? I say no! I played Gandalf! The original. There was a question as to whether I might take over from Richard Harris [Gambon's predecessor in the Dumbledore role], but seeing as one of the last things he did publicly was say what a dreadful actor he thought I was, it would not have been appropriate for me to take over his part." He smiles icily. "It would have been unfair."

When asked who would win the battle between Dumbledore and Gandalf, McKellen never hesitated, "Gandalf. Of course."

I respect Ian Mckellen's decision not to take over the role in favor of what Richard Harris though of him, but I really think he would have been a brilliant Dumbledore. Much better than Micheal Gambon anyway. He just has the sort of glint in his eye as Gandalf, so I'm sure he would've done brilliantly as Dumbledore. I wish Micheal Gambon could take lessons from him.

Posted by 62442 Nov 24th 2007

He totally should have been Dumbledore, but i might just think that because i hate the way michael gambon dumbledRichard ore. Though I loved Richard Hariiss as Dumbledore


Posted by Katherine_The_Crowned Nov 24th 2007

Yea, iw ould have loved to see him as Dumbledore, though i would have always seen Gandalf as Dumble dore cause i saw HP first. I respect his decision not to take the part though. I have to agree that Gandalf would totally win in a Battle with Dumbledore, no matter how much I respect the headmaster.


Posted by moonshine Nov 24th 2007

sir ian mckellen? since when is he a sir? anyway, dumbledore would so defenitely win. mwa hahaha...


Posted by swim_elf Nov 24th 2007

Lord of the Rings is okay but let us not forget fellow Potterites the reason we are all here!!


Posted by gredandforgeluvr Nov 24th 2007

Sorry but I was a fan of LotR way before HP, so Gandalf all the way!


Posted by Tauriel Nov 24th 2007

moonshine: Sir Ian McKellen was knighted by HM Queen Elizabeth in 1990.


Posted by britishwannabe Nov 24th 2007

hallowsaint: What are you stupid or something? Stop doing that. I actually always imagined Sir Ian to play Dubledore. But....Dumbledore would definitly win. No doubt. Meh....was never a fan of LotR.


Posted by lilpotterfan Nov 24th 2007

Dumbledore would win anyday! Gandolf is not as good of a wizard as Dumbledore. Dumbledore is brilliant and sweet and caring and everything! And the guy who plays dumbledore.... is hte worst dumbledore alive. he makes me sooooooooooooooooooooo mad. =[

Posted by BlueOwlfire Nov 24th 2007

hallowsaint that was rude of you to spam the board like that!!!!!! Plus I toyslt think DD would win hands down!!!!! But I base my answer on the books which to me were soooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooo way better I like the movies but I LOVE the books!!!


Posted by lilpotterfan Nov 24th 2007

the book dumbledore is brilliant... i am such a faithful harry potter fan and i believe in it so much (i know that sounds crazy!!) that i cant think of anyone ever beating dumbledore. personally that sir guy.... he wouldnt make that great of a dumbledore....bc i just see the old grandpa sweetness coming off him. that sir guy is more like gambon who is COLD as ice and is the worst dumbledore ever. the first one.... was brilliant.


Posted by LilyFan564 Nov 24th 2007

Dumbledore would soooooooooo win! No doubt about that!


Posted by Dumbledore4ever Nov 24th 2007

DUMBLEDORE


Posted by ptotheenguin Nov 24th 2007

Dumbledore and Gandalf wouldn't fight. They would settle down for a cup of tea and discuss the Crumple Horned Snorkack.


Posted by lilpotterfan Nov 24th 2007

has anyone seen the polls recently?!? I didnt know/think that many people cared that Dumbledore was/is/gay! I hope JP doesnt get discouraged by this!


Posted by Sirius_Black Nov 24th 2007

Dumbledore would smash Gandalf, whoever he is.


Posted by hpfreak328 Nov 24th 2007

I would honestly have to say that Gandalf trumps Dumbledore because Dumbledore is still only human, but Gandalf is one of the Istari. Plus, Gandalf came first: J.R.R. Tolkien basically created the elderly mentor. You really can't say that Dumbledore came first because Gandalf has about an 80 year head start.


Posted by kenzie520 Nov 24th 2007

i don't even know who this guy is (i'm not a LOTR fan) but i'm pretty sure i would prefer him over Gambon. I personally think Gambon is aweful, he completely missed what dumbledore is all about. Whatever happened to the calm Dumbledore, the one who had a nice chat with Draco Malfoy completely at ease right before he was about to die, the one who's proudest moment was making it on a chocolate frog card, "oddment, nitwit, blubber, tweak"(idk if that is perfectly right, i don't feel like looking it up. Anyway, what i'm trying to say is that Gambon plays Dumbledore awful. After Harry's name came out of the goblet in the 4th movie, dumbledore seemed furious and was agrily shaking Harry. Dumbledore's not like that. He's wise and old and knowing. Gambon sucks as Dumbledore.


Posted by moonshine Nov 24th 2007

i actually agree with ptotheenguin. they wouldnt fight! lol anyway, cheesecakeians rule!


Posted by BlueOwlfire Nov 24th 2007

It doesn't matter if he was gay or not!!! DD was/is a great wizzard and we all loved him and I doubt there is a person out there who didn't shed a tear when Snape killed him and he would so win hands down! Its not what you do but your actions towards others that count and like DD had the best actions were from love of his fellow man!!!!!!


Posted by themusicwitch Nov 24th 2007

Dumbledore would totally kick Gandalf's ass. And while nobody could ever replace Richard Harris and his perfect "it is our choices, Harry, far more than our abilities", Sir Ian would have been immeasurably better than Michael Gambon's appalling "don't you have some studying to do?" line.


Posted by Clark Nov 24th 2007

Oooooh, this is war... Dumbledore doesn't even need a wand, man. ~ Clark (D69)


Posted by BlueOwlfire Nov 24th 2007

kenzie520 I agree with you! I had a big problem with that scene too!! Doumbledore was sippar to be worried not angry!


Posted by LookMeUp_AtSpinnersEnd Nov 24th 2007

I agree: they wouldn't fight :D And ANYBODY would be better than Gambon as Dumbledore. Isn't it true that Gambon didn't even read the books; he just considers the part as a role in a movie? Gambon needs to realize who dumbledore is, and even though he's good at looking super powerful, he's horrendous at a calm, tranquil nature that is usually dumbledore. I cannot even imagine how terrible the cave/locket horcrux scene will be unless Gambon figures out that Dumbledore is a KIND soul, not a icy one.


Posted by Hermione_Granger090894 Nov 24th 2007

I disagree. Dumbledore all the WAY. But I can't help but feel like we maybe defending Dumbledore because were HP fans not LOTR ones.... IDK I man be wrong.. some of us like both of em...


Posted by jessicarowling Nov 24th 2007

no! Dumbledore would win! DUMBLEDORE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! what about harry potter and gandalf? :D


Posted by LookMeUp_AtSpinnersEnd Nov 24th 2007

and the lines: "DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?" [after practically manhandling harry] and "DON'T YOU ALL HAVE STUDYING TO DO?" could definitely have been acted better. If Gambon knew his part well, he would have said them in a calm, wistful fashion. Gambon sucks at Dumbledore, and in the movies, I don't even consider him the proper headmaster. I have a more... Ian McKellen person, acting the part in my head ;]


Posted by kenzie520 Nov 24th 2007

yeah, i can't even imagine what the scenes in dumbledore's office are going to be like. Dumbledore is supposed to be calm and incontrol while he calmly tells Harry what awaits him. and i can't even imaging the kings cross scence. oh gosh, i sure hope Gambon doesn't ruin them...


Posted by marauder_number_five Nov 24th 2007

Hm.. Interesting. Frankly, I am quite disappointed with Michael Gambon's Dumbledore. He yells and screams too much, especially in GoF. It's really a shame that Richard Harris died... he was an awesome Dumbledore. I was very pleased in Ian McKellen's acting of Gandalf. He was the perfect wise old man who never overreacts, but has power. As for the duel between Gandalf and Dumbledore, I have to say the Dumbledore would win. If your watch Fellowship of the King, in the fight between Saruman and Gandalf, all they really do is throw each other around.. It looks kinda silly, in my opinion.


Posted by themusicwitch Nov 24th 2007

If he gets too loud and cold and un-Dumbledore in the horcrux-retrieving scene in the cave, he might accidentally tip the boat and fall in...then they would have to find a replacement actor. Or maybe they can get JKR in there to tell Gambon how Dumbledore is supposed to act. Or somebody could try screaming at him and manhandling him like he did to Harry in the GOF movie, and see how he likes it =P Maybe that would force him to change his ways.


Posted by carpediem1991 Nov 24th 2007

I don't know a lot about LOTR besides what the movies say. That in mind, before Deathly Hallows I would have totally supported Dumbledore, but after it... I might have to say Gandalf....


Posted by bridget Nov 24th 2007

Anyone is better than Gambon.


Posted by dancefool1 Nov 24th 2007

Eric JUST MENTIONED HIM on mc!!!!


Posted by adriennecray Nov 24th 2007

Instead of fighting, i think they'd just get together ;] lol, sorry. Dumbledore is too cool.

hmmm... Dumbledore does better magic hands down so, DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE!

Quotes
Professor Trelawney broke into hysterical sobs during Divination and announced to the startled class, and a very disapproving Umbridge, that Harry was not going to suffer an early death after all, but would live to a ripe old age, become Minister of Magic, and have twelve children.

Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 26, Page 582
