My cats - I have Luna who's just had kittens recently and we called one of them Dumbledore. They're nice but they're not like their characters.
One week I was in school and the next I'm at Leavesden Studios in Dumbledore's office reading scenes with Daniel Radcliffe. Weird. And terrifying for such a huge 'Harry Potter' fan.
I often get mistaken for Dumbledore. One wizard is very much like another.
I've played quite a lot of crooks and killers, and that's quite interesting. Then Dumbledore is the complete opposite, isn't he? He's a nice old man.
Maybe that is why kids like Dumbledore: because he is funny rather than a miserable old sod with a long white beard.
My agent wanted me to audition for Dumbledore's character after Richard Harris died. I was asked if I would like to audition for it. But I wouldn't audition for it.
One of the things that Dumbledore is always trying to do is to empower the kids to take ownership of issues and be creative and involved. That's what we see today. We need to empower America to be a creator of its solutions going forward in a new, very confusing world.

Hagrid: Shouldn't have said that. No more questions, don't ask anymore questions!
