Personally, I liked the Dumbledore from the first movie. He seemed older as I had pictured Dumbledore and his voice was alot cooler than the actor who plays him now.

The first one was definitely better, but since he died unfortunately, this Dumbledore is a good second.

Okay.... I think Richard Harris, Dumbledore in the first 2 movies. R.I.P. Yes, he showed Dumbledore as the extremely wise and caring man we find through the books. His voice was just like I imagined it, too. But, I will give the new Dumbledore credit-- In the fourth movie, the new Dumbledore yells at Harry, asking him if he put his name in the Goblet of Fire. At first, I was like Dumbledore would never be that mean!! But, the new Dumbledore does show the tougher side of him, since he had a very hard past, which we learned in the seventh book. Dumbledore and Harry are close, but not quite as close as I first imagined them to be. For example, Harry realizes he never spoke to Dumbledore about Dumbledore's past. Also, they speak to each other in the first few books, but not a lot. They only speak about serious stuff...such as after Harry fights Quirrell/Voldemort in the sorcerer's stone or when Harry sees into Voldemort's mind in the fifth book....they don't have everyday chats. Harry often does not know where Dumbledore goes. Even in the sixth book, going to Dumbledore's office for their private meetings, Harry considers this an honor/privilege. Harry anxiously waits for Dumbledore's invitations, and Ron at one point comments on how important stuff must be if they are having private meetings. So, perhaps Richard Harris portrays Dumbledore as we all want to see him, and he did a wonderful job, but Michael Gambon does portray the wise but tougher side of him.

I like the first one too. He seemed truer to the spirit of the Dumbledore in the books, with quirky and almost childlike humor. The later one seems more like a grouchy old man.
