![]() Along with the peerlessly bitchy Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane (smitten with a visiting giantess who looks like an elongated Judith Miller-only nicer), and Michael Gambon (who has found his Dumbledore, injecting a dose of irony into his lines), we get more Gary Oldman (albeit only as a smoke-and-ash face in a fireplace), more Timothy Spall (vermin with a pedigree), and, best of all, more of the delicious Shirley Henderson as Moaning Myrtle (now sneaking peeks at Harry’s privates). The islands have been swept for great thespians this movie must have closed the theaters for months. And he did the role complete justice, Richard Harris would have been proud.Speaking of casting, it’s always a treat to see what big-studio-franchise cash can produce in the way of top-flight British (and Irish) actors. When Gambon was offered the role he did not shy away from it despite having such a successful actor’s name being already linked to the role. Even though Harris was supposed to come back for the third movie despite his diagnosis, his passing changed things completely. Michael Gambon on the other hand was never afraid to take on the role when it came to him.
