The movies also frames Dumbledore as a hard boiled unhinged detective who slams people against walls and shakes them down for information, whereas the book totally missed out on that great aspect of his personality. Swings and roundabouts
Definitely, Dumbledore is much better in the movies. I think the books overexplore his relationship with Voldemort and he comes off a bit daft. All of his
interactions with Voldemort are like:
Voldemort: Genocide is cool, right?
Dumbledore: No, it isn’t
V: You’re right. Anyway, theoretically, how can I become more stronger?
D: Are you gonna do a genocide?
V: high pitched Whaaaaat…?! Naaaaaaaah! I would never do that!

This is a hot take I’ve never heard before
He’s a man of ACTION in the films, and not a man of giving fools a second chance.
Dumbledore in the books has my heart, but Dumbledore in the films has my sword
A turd is better when you can both see and smell it rather than when you can only smell it
