McKellen Won’t Be Dumbledore
Contrary to a report in the British tabloid The Sun, Lord of the Rings star Ian McKellen will not succeed the late Richard Harris as Professor Dumbledore in the third Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the Dark Horizons Web site reported. The Sun ran a news item last week under the headline: “New Potter Wizard Is … Gandalf!” stating that Warner Brothers has cast McKellen as the headmaster of Hogwarts School after fellow Rings cast member Christopher Lee turned it down.
But according to McKellen’s own Web site, the veteran actor has not been cast in the role and Lee was not even asked. While the story is untrue, McKellen has not ruled out appearing in a future Potter film in some capacity, the Web site reported.
