Wait, I thought the blond haired kid abracadaba’d him.

Or was it Hans Gruber, before pushing him off that Nakatome tower thing?

I can’t remember.

Irish and Dublin born, Gambon was an excellent actor. His long career was defined by a powerful voice and strong presence on stage, television, and film. Gambon had enough range as an actor to distinguish himself as the solitary inventor John Harrison in Longitude, a crime boss in Layer Cake who got the better of Daniel Craig, and Dumbledore, the revered and wise master of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. Gambon was also a skilled and fast driver, enough so for two appearances on Top Gear.

Michael Gambon was so much more than Professor Dumbledore
