Hello everyone,

I would really like to have a personalized autograph of Michael Gambon (Albus Dumbledore)
I saw that a few members have had succes getting personalized autographs of him ,
but i was wondering.
They all send him a letter with photo's for him to sign.
If i write to him,do i have to include pictures? Or will he send pictures himself?

And if i have to include pictures myself, where do i buy a picture of him as Dumbledore?

I am new to autograph collecting, so forgive me if i make some rookie mistakes

Greetings Kristof

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Michael is a really good replier. I would imagine he would have his own photo, but if you specifically wanted one from Harry Potter it would be best to send your own. You can order photos from a number of websites, I recommend Photobox or Aldi photos.

Good luck! Feel free to post any more questions you might have.

Thank you that's great ,hope he will answer my letter to

About those sites, those are photo services,but wich images do you use then to let them be printed out?
Because you can't buy pictures of him on the site and i imagine that a wrong image will give a bad foto (quality?)

Oh I see what you mean, sorry! Try this link - Michael Gambon - I searched his name on Google and set it to only come up with large images, and these should print out at high quality.

I'm sending to Michael soon too! Good luck.

Phoebe

Thanks Phoebe
And good luck to you too ;)
Hopefully we both get an autograph

Does the size of the photo's matter? or do they have to be a specific size?

Greetings Kristof,sorry for the huge amount of questions

Hello, no the size doesn't really matter - as long as it fits in your SASE of course! It is best to print a photo that is quite large when yoy view it on the computer though, so that it prints out at a good quality!

Good luck!

The size of the file matters, depending on how big of a photo you want to print out. If the file is not big enough the photo can come out grainy. For an 8x10 the ideal file size is 690x768 pixels or so I was once told. If you are going to print smaller photos (such as a 5x8 or 4x6), you can use a smaller sized file.

As for the size of the actual photo, that really doesn't matter. But for your SASE, use an envelope big enough to hold an 8x10 in case the celebrity decides they don't like a certain photo and sends out one of their own instead.

What do you mean with 8x10 for the sase? (cm?)
I'm waiting for the pictures to arrive next week en then going to the next step
