I want earwax flavored. Sure, it'd be gross, but then I could eat one and say, "Alas! Earwax."
LOL!!! That was *such* a great line. I think Dumbledore's inherent comedy was sadly underplayed in the first two movies. That was one of the only times we really got to see it.

The ear-wax ones are, indeed, gross. Not a good present for your sweetie for Valentine's Day, in my opinion. The black pepper ones, though, are surprisingly tasty--if you like pepper, that is.

Well, he was pretty sick, especially for the second one. And as I said, I think the scriptwriter(s) robbed him of most of his really funny moments. It will be interesting to see what happens with a new director and new Dumbledore.

You know, those conversation hearts are fun, but I never liked the taste. Did they ever make them with Sweet Tarts? Now those would be yummy...
Erin
Yes they did! Sweet Tart Hearts. Yum :smile:

Well, I liked Richard Harris quite a bit, but I was also disappointed that the quirkier side of his personality was downplayed. One of the things I really love about Dumbledore is how off-beat and kooky he can be, yet also remain serious and respected. Maybe they didn't think audiences would buy him as an authority figure on-screen if they included much of his goofiness. I don't see why not--it worked for Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back!

Aaaaaaww.....Hugs for Cory!!!
And, amen to that "burning Fraggle Rock taps" thing, Luke....I had a male friend who just got married, and HIS fiancee threw out ALL his comic books! (And he had a LOT!) A lot of really old, rare ones, too....And yet, he got to have a Cookie Monster groom's cake. Love is blind, AND on crack.

I know! And I think they did a great job of bringing out Gandalf's quirkier traits in Lord of the Rings. They definitely could have pulled it off. Like the "I want to say a few words... *random words* " and Harry: "What would you see if you looked in the mirror?" Dumbledore: "Socks. I've always wanted a nice pair of socks, and nobody ever gets them for me. :frown: " :stick_out_tongue:
