I'll have to admit that Dumbledore is starting to look better than he did when he first took over the role.
Maybe he's starting to take his part seriously.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

I'm sorry, but where are his glasses?! I glad his hair and beard look a little less hippy-ish, unless that's just the camera angle.

I don't want to see pictures, I want to see the movie (in November). But the pictures are cool.

What do you mean by "hippy-ish"?

Well, nice pic. But I will not be very happy until next July. Even then I won't be too pleased with WB. Oh well... I will get over it.
I'm sorry, but where are his glasses?!
He's got them on. It's just a little hard to see with the angle it's at.

Sorry...just can't get excited about behind the scenes footage right now with the movie nonsense going on right now. It is a cool picture, though.

I suppose I should not have used the term "hippy-ish", because I do love hippies and my best teacher to date was a former one, but what I meant was that in previous movies, his hair was very stringy (and a little too short).
Sorry if I offended anyone! *slaps head*

Nice picture, but still I am so offended by Warner Bros. and their attempt to make it up to us with dumb silver linings and pictures.

If it's a behind the scenes picture maybe the way he looks in it won't be how he will look in the movie. They could just be working on lighting or where he will stand. I know we are all still mad about the movie being pushed back but lets relax and not get upset over every little thing that comes up.

I still reserve my right to pout, kick and scream about the idiocy and greed surrounding WB's decision. But the picture is nice. I think that Michael Gambon has now FINALLY settled in his role.

Luna! says:
HA!!!!
See! Notice anything different?
Okay let's start of:
1. Purple robes NOT SILVER.
2. HALF MOON GLASSES instead of NONE.
3. LONG WHITE HAIR AND BEARD instead of short silver-ish.
What can we conclude from this?
MICHAEL GAMBON is trying to look like RICHARD HARRIS DID IN PS and CoS.
You know why?!
BECAUSE IT'S HIS LAST MOVIE!!
Ha! Look who came crawling back Mr I-Don't-Read-The-Books-That-I-Play-A-Major-Role-In-And-Now-I'm-Trying-To-Look-Like-Richard-Harris-Even-Though-I-Was-Crap-In-The-Past-Three-Movies!
I hate Michael Gambon.

Dig that lectern. I've always loved the design of it but had never bothered to look at the bottom (or maybe it's not been shown in the films)--amazing.
It is a huge disappointment that Mr Gambon hasn't read the books, and like Alec Guinness (Obe-Wan Kenobi) before him, is perhaps taking the role not as 'seriously' as we wish he would, but I've never been annoyed by him.
Poor Richard Harris was so ill at the time of his portraying Dumbledore that it's hard to say how much of his manner and mode of speech was due to his acting or disease.
And who knows how much of Mr Gambon's style has been dictated by directors? I doubt it was his idea to roar in and start shaking Harry in the infamous GoF scene--but maybe I've missed an article/interview...?
He IS wearing the specs, by the way. Click on the image at the French site to see the huge version of it.

Hmm. It's going to be a very long, drawn out wait for this film with a slow trickle of pictures, rather than the 3 month explosion... I'm not going to like this...

Well....the pic looks nice.His beard has gotten a lot longer than the last film,I guess he kinda looks like more Dumbledore-ish compared to PoA,GoF and OotP.

Well, he's still Michael Gambon, but at least now there's some attempt to look slightly more in character of Dumbledore ...
But no matter what, it still grieves me that it will take another 11 FREAKIN' MONTHS before we can see this movie anyway.
We might be able to compile a flip-book of photos and watch the movie in full by that time ...

Wow! Very nice. ;]
Luna!, Gambon doesn't choose what he wears, what he does, what he looks like - so don't blame him if he isn't up to your expectations.
Personally, I love him as DD. =]
