#16: Christopher Lee as Dumbledore
Had been considering the casting of another great artist for the role of Dumbledore, Christopher Lee, who played Saruman in The Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately, he would have had scheduling conflicts with joining the troupe. He would have been perfect for the role, with his deep voice and commanding presence; however, it is likely that people will always associate him more with Middle-earth than with Hogwarts.
