You know , Dumbledore , he ’s kind of this nuclear weapon system . He only goes off very , very occasionally . And I do n’t think it ’s gon na be that backbreaking a job .
What This Means For HBO’s Harry Potter
Albus Dumbledore Is Distinct From Previous John Lithgow Roles
" Nuclear weapon"is an unusual choice of Holy Writ to describe Dumbledore , who is known for being a generally tranquil and composed grapheme . This characterization is why Michael Gambon ’s Dumbledore shouting in Harry ’s face during theHarry Potter and the Goblet of Firemovie remain a jarring scene to watch years later . Lithgow ’s remark about Dumbledore only drop dead off"very , very occasionally"provides more clarity , as itunderscores that Dumbledore is able to control his emotions well , and it is rare for him to mislay control .
From Michael Gambon ’s inquietude to Richard Harris ' gentle , kindly atmosphere to Jude Law ’s man in action take , each Dumbledore is great .
Saying that playing Dumbledore is not"gonna be that hard of a job"is also a surprising commentary . However , it makes sense commit thatmany of Lithgow ’s other character are far more emotionally troubled , including as the Trinity Killer inDexter , Lord Farquaad inShrek , and as Dave Crealy in the recent revulsion movieThe Rule of Jenny Pen . Doing justice toDumbledore ’s good quotesand most memorable fit will still be a ambitious feat , but the role does have more aroused sense of balance in contrast with the villains and more chaotic character Lithgow has antecedently portrayed .
