I think he looks like a dirty hippie DD, myself. I was really hoping
for a more regal DD, someone who had a quiet, assured power about him.
DD in the books doesn't have to lift a finger in order to make his
point, and Gambon appears too hurried and too overtly passionate to
command the kind of awe that Book DD generates.
