A really sad news. Sir Michael Gambon, the British-Irish actor who is well known as Albus Dumbledore in the movie series : Harry Potter (3rd part onwards)died at the age of 82.
He died following "a bout of pneumonia".
if you have followed Harry Potter movies, you would know how key his role used to be.
He won four BAFTAs, three Olivier Awards and two ensemble cast Screen Actors Guild Awards
He was knighted for services to drama in 1998
The Harry Potter fans and his fellow actors would be really sad by this news.

We feel so sad when these great actors die having given us pleasure over the years. He was fortunate to have lived into his 80 decade. At least he will be remembered fondly for all the roles he portrayed. Admission time l have never seen a Harry Potter film.

Have you seen any of his other movies or plays?
Was he more popular in US or UK?

He played Kazan in the Doctor Who Christmas special A Christmas Carol. He was like a Scrudge figure.
