I <I>knew</I> that the CNN crawl didn't say Ian McKellen! I caught it in my peripheral vision right before the name disappeared...well, that's some news and no mistake. What's everybody's reaction to this? Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Ian McKellen as Dumbledore, but it might be just as well that he won't be donning Hogwarts robes. I mean, he would've looked so much like Gandalf in wizard's robes that some people might think the inter-fantasy time/space continuum had been breached. Or it might have reinforced all those Eru-awful stories about Gandalf and Dumbledore being brothers. Oi.<P>~*~Orual~*~
