nathanbates Kind of lame if you’re just going to cast the guy best know for playing wise old as wizard as the wise old wizard. Also, isn’t McKellen about the same age as Richard Harris when he played Dumbledore? You’d think we’d learn a lesson about casting actors of advanced age for multi year franchises.
