IMBD:

The family of late Irish actor Richard Harris are urging the makers of Harry Potter to pass the part of Professor Dumbledore to his drinking friend Peter O'Toole. Harris' brother Noel says, "Dicky (Richard) made the role his own. He will be a hard act to follow. Peter was a great, great friend of Dicky's for most of his life. And he has similar qualities on screen. Our family would be delighted if he was offered the part." Although Harris never named his preferred successor of the role Noel says, "Of course he would have been happy to see it go to Peter. I just hope he is offered it and then it will be a decision for him to make."
