michael gambon
bullet::::- michael gambon as albus dumbledore, the headmaster of hogwarts and one of the greatest wizards of the age. gambon assumed the role after richard harris, who played dumbledore in the previous two films, died on 25 october 2002, 3 weeks before the 2nd film's release. despite his illness, harris was determined to film his part, telling a visiting david heyman not to recast the role. four months after harris's death, cuarón chose gambon as his replacement. gambon was unconcerned with bettering or copying harris, instead giving his own interpretation, putting on a slight irish accent for the role, as well as completing his scenes in three weeks. rumours of ian mckellen being offered the role started to spread, but when asked he rejected the rumours and stated he had played a similar character in gandalf of "the lord of the rings" trilogy. he also stated it would have been inappropriate to take harris's role, as the late actor had called mckellen a "dreadful" actor. harris's family had expressed an interest in seeing harris's close friend peter o'toole being chosen as his replacement.

by the end of the book, dumbledore and harry set out to the cave where dumbledore believes a horcrux resides. in the cave, dumbledore drinks a potion inside the horcrux's container; while drinking it, he begins to scream, seemingly enduring mental torture and being weakened. dumbledore begins to call out for water after he finishes the potion, and harry, realising he has no other choice, dips the goblet into the lake to give him a drink. when he does this though, all the inferi that reside in the lake grab at harry and attempt to drag him down and drown him in the lake. dumbledore suddenly recovers, thanks to the water, and conjures a fire lasso around them. dumbledore takes the horcrux (a locket) and both make their way back out of the cave and back to hogsmeade. when they return, madam rosmerta informs them that the dark mark was conjured over the astronomy tower. in the tower, dumbledore enjoins harry not to interfere in the events that are about to take place there, and places him in a body-binding curse under his invisibility cloak. hidden, harry is unable to intervene as dumbledore (now extremely weak) is disarmed by draco. dumbledore is conversing with draco about the plot to kill him, when several other death eaters enter the tower and try to persuade draco to kill dumbledore. when draco hesitates, snape appears and performs the killing curse on dumbledore, only after dumbledore pleads with snape saying, "severus, please ...". to what dumbledore was referring is not revealed until the seventh book. dumbledore dies on hogwarts' grounds.
