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.
