an unfair thing about prequels in general
But using this as an obvious example. Some people will take Jude Law's performance/story in this film and allow it to influence their view of Dumbledore in the original series. Even if JK had that info in her mind already when writing the books, I still doubt Richard Harris or Michael Gambon were privy to it, so Law's performance changing how you look at theirs would only be forced or coincidental.
