Damn, that sucks. I'm actually reading through the books for the 1st time. They're pretty good and a quick read. Saw the movies years ago and enjoyed them quite a bit. Obviously Sir Michael was one of the highlights of those films. RIP.

Now all the Dumbledore's are dead...... :(

But like Harris, he was more than Dumbledore.

Well all the ones I liked. I guess Jude Law still lives.

RIP legend.

Bluffed his way into acting, acting with and studying under legends of the day, and then turning into one himself.

Rest in peace, Sir.

A fantastic actor who really nailed the Dumbledore role in HP.
