| Albus Dumbledore |
We're putting together a special version of Page 2's Casting Call -- although we're reversing our usual Casting Call procedure. In other words, we'll show you the actor from the "Harry Potter" movie and describe his or her personality, and then we'll ask you to match that character with an appropriate figure from the sports world.
Below is our choice and the best nominations sent in by readers. Continue choosing the cast by voing for the best candidate to portray Albus Dumbledore. Voting at left will take you to the next page of nominees.
Albus Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts, and the most powerful good wizard alive. Seems a bit eccentric, at times (like Phil the Zenmaster), but always knows what's going on, and able to manipulate complex situations without anyone involved realizing he is doing so -- until it is too late.
Next week, we'll run the winning cast of athletic celebrities as selected by you.
Who should play Albus Dumbledore?

Red Auerbach
Eight titles in a row, that's wizadry, just with a stogie instead of a wand.

Joe Torre
"Most powerful wizard alive" ... and that doesn't describe a man who can keep George Steinbrenner at bay?
-- Ethan Johnson, New York
