I'm not too worried about it; it's better than Christopher Lee playing Dumbledore. (I wouldn't be able to see Dumbledore as a good guy ever again if he did...heck, I had trouble with Magneto as a bad guy.) Like some people have said, Sir Ian is an actor. He's got to have other roles. We simply can't expect all of them to be as good as Gandalf, because they won't be, end of story. I'm rather fond of Harry Potter, though they're not by any means my favorite books or my favorite movies, and I don't think that it'll ruin either the Lord of the Rings movies or the Harry Potter movies to have Sir Ian playing Gandalf and Dumbledore.<P>Personally, I'm more worried about that "Try Seventeen" romantic comedy thing with Elijah and Mandy Moore... <P>~*~Orual~*~
