I've just heard on the news that Richard Harris has died. He was in a London hospital being treated for Hodkins Disease.

RIP.

I don't mean to be callous, but I'm surprised his imminent mortality wasn't taken into consideration when he was cast in Harry Potter. My first thought when I saw him as Dumbledore was, 'What if he dies before they've finished the seven films?'

Do you suppose they're going to do an Oliver Reed-'Gladiator' trick for Prisoner of Azkhaban, which must be in production by now?

Do you think they're going to try to borrow Ian McKellan from Lord of the Rings as a replacement?

My vote for Dubledore (as it has been since the beginning) would be Richard Attenborough, however.

OK. I'm going to go say a few Hail Marys for my evil thoughts then watch Camelot...
