I can't see Ian Mackellon taking the role. While I'm by no means suggesting that Dumbledore is an imitation of Gandalf, the characters' intense similarities would be detrimental in two ways: it would typecast him as a 'wizard' actor, and many people would be unable to keep away from the image of Gandalf while watching HP
