10 Awful Films Harry Potter Actors Want Us To Forget
10. Toys - Michael Gambon
Dumbledore himself - Gambon, not Harris - has had his fair share of poor movies, but among the worst is this incredibly odd Robin Williams comedy. He doesn't even have the luxury of fading into the background, as he takes on the primary antagonist role.
The movie takes place after the head of an influential toy company dies and passes the business onto his brother - a decorated war general played by Gambon - instead of his son (Robin Williams). Gambon chooses to transform the company into a manufacturer of "war toys", which Williams fights to end.
Like many poor Robin Williams movies, the flick is filled to the brim with a sense of sentimentality and quirkiness, but it just comes across as awkward. The forced humour doesn't land, and there's a deliberately plastic aesthetic that seems to reflect how lifeless and hollow the performances are.
Gambon's over-the-top performance and poor accent work turns him into a caricature rather than a compelling villain. As one of the UK's most decorated actors, he'd likely prefer you remember him as the head of Hogwarts rather than the head of Zevo Toys.
