Irish-born actor Sir Michael Gambon, who played Albus Dumbledore in six of the eight Harry Potter films, has died at the age of 82. His death was confirmed by the BBC on 28 September after his family announced he passed away peacefully in hospital from pneumonia.
His career spanned five decades across TV, film, theatre, and radio. As well as roles in "The King's Speech" and "Judy", he took over the role of Hogwarts headmaster in the Harry Potter franchise following the death of Richard Harris in 2002.
He is survived by his wife, Lady Anne Gambon, and son Fergus.
