I'm gonna vote for your comment, but I actually disagree with you.
I loved Richard Harris as an actor, but he was not the Dumbledore I wanted. In the beginning of the series, Dumbledore is silly and witty, even described as youthful. As Voldemort returns and he redoubles his efforts against him, he becomes worn and wary, even more so when he begins tracking and destroying Horcruxes.
I think Sir Michael Gambon was ultimately a better fit for Dumbledore, however it's still sad he only got the part after Richard Harris passed.
