When actor Richard Harris checked himself into a London hospital last week, not too many children seemed to notice. But, when it's learned that Harris may be too sick to carry on as Professor Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films, you may have a pint-sized riot on your hands.

Rumors are making their way around the 'Net that Warner Bros. is making preparations in the case that Harris can't finish his seven film commitment. The strongest rumor cites that Harris look alike and double in the past two movies, Harry Robinson, will take over the reins if Harris is unable to continue.
