    alan rickman always seems to be some creepy dude in that movie. His lines are on cue and i think he;s a brilliant actor.

    Very tough choice, as I think the casting has been brilliant all throughout these films. But if I had to pick one, I'd go with Alan Rickman as Snape, as well.

    i did like the orgnal dumbledoor. But the new one wasn't bad. I think the new one seemed to "energentic" OG dumbledoor had a more wisdomy quility to him.

    I like all the adult actors cast. Brilliant choices. But Alan Rickman is the best :cool:

    Hm, I'm a bit surprised that most of you voted for Alan Rickman. He's good, but I had pictured Snape a bit different. Oh well. :)

    I voted for Kenneth Branagh, because I think him being cast as Lockhart was a stroke of pure genius. He was awesome! :D Sooo much like Lockhart. [face_laugh]

    Actually, for me it was a tough choice between Branagh, Isaacs and Thompson (although Isaacs being cast as Lucius could be classified as a slight cliché - he usually plays bad guys), but I went for Branagh in the end. :)

    And as for the two Dumbledores - I actually liked Gambon better. His Dumbledore was more like the one we know from he books - less dignified, and more "old hippie"-like. ;) (but in this, the credit shouldn't go only to Gambon, but to the whole filmmaking team)

    Rickman is definetly the best. He's the only one that's exactly how I imagined Snape.

    I think all of the adult actors that have been cast in these movies have been perfect. But I too have to go with Alan Rickman. He brings it with his portrayal of Snape.


    I also think it's great that the dude who plays Lupin was in The Big Lebowski as Knox Harrington, "The Video Artist"...

    Knox: (fruitily) So whatcha do, Lebowski?

    The Dude: (disgusted) Who the **** are you, man?

    Knox: *maniacal/fruity laugh* (still fruitily) Just a friend of Maudey's.

    The Dude: A friend with a cleft @$$hole?

    i thought the sceen with harry and snape in the hallway at night was brilliant. It was just so funny and snape pulled it off very well. Cheers to alan rikman.

    allthough i didn't like him in robin hood that much.

    Emma Thompson as Sibyl Trelawney

    I don't know- I thought she did a really good job in the movie- I always thought of Sibyl as being kind of weird, and other-worldly, and she captured it perfectly

    I thought Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy was brilliant in The Chamber of Secrets :D I'm looking forward of seeing him again in his role.

    A close second are Alan Rickman and Richard Harris :)

    I have to pick just one?! :p

    They were all absoloutely brilliant in their roles, bringing the characters to life. Haven't seen PoA yet, but I think they'll do splendidly as well.

    Okay, my choice is the late Sir Richard Harris. He just nailed the whimsy and mystery of Dumbledore.

    I'd have to go with Richard Harris as Albus Dumbledore. Harris sort of was Dumbledore, in a way. He did a superb job! I'm extremely sad that he is dead.

    Although I think most of the adult actors were great (I [face_love] Alan Rickman), I have to saw Emma Thompson as Trelawney was the best. She was amazing in that role.

    The late Richard Harris, followed by Alan Rickman. Honorable mention goes to Michael Gambon for doing a good job as Harris' replacement.

    Richard Harris was superb as Dumbledore. He really portrayed the character as I invisioned him while reading the book. Maggie Smith does an excellent job as well, though.
