Hey folks, Harry here... Ok, you read the story headline.... that's the story. Ok? Got it? The rumor began online weeks ago. Then the British Tabloid THE SUN resurrected the damn lie, then it seems everybody and their gimpy brother Jorge decided to run the story as being absolute fact. Meanwhile, McKellen has repeatedly said that HE WILL NOT BE DUMBLEDORE specifically because he wouldn't want to play another Wizard, because he's played the best. The mutual friends of Ian's and this site continue to confirm that he is NOT PLAYING DUMBLEDORE, the great guy that runs The Official Ian McKellen Website says he is NOT PLAYING DUMBLEDORE and Ian has said it on his own site too! So I don't care if it is on Zap2it or IMDB or laser-etched on the Moon - it is not so. I've received about 700 emails repeatedly saying that McKellen is DUMBLEDORE - so many that I now hate the name Dumbledore. And Moriarty is about to go postal over the thing, so just send Dumbledore casting theories here! because he wants to hear it. He really does!
