First of all, I'm glad to see someone else who dislikes the PoA movie. So many people say it's their favorite and I'm just like no. It was just too much of a change- from the previous movie and from the book.
While I do partly blame Michael Gambon for playing Dumbledore much more... mean, for lack of a better word, I do also place the blame in the directors. Gambon didn't read the books- he didn't know the character in-and-out. The directors should have told him how to read the lines and act them. I think he did fine in the 3rd movie and he got better by the 6th and 7th movies, but he was just too harsh in 4 and 5 and I think the directors really should have told him to tone it down.
