Potter stars among tributes to Sir Michael Gambon

....Harry Potter co-stars of Sir Michael Gambon, who played Professor Albus Dumbledore in six films, are among those paying tribute to the stage and screen legend after his death aged 82.

Daniel Radcliffe said the "brilliant, effortless" actor "loved his job but never seemed defined by it".

Emma Watson thanked Sir Michael for "showing us what it looks like to wear greatness lightly".
Writer JK Rowling hailed a "wonderful man" and "outstanding actor".

Another Potter star, Fiona Shaw, said Sir Michael has shown during his long and varied life that he "could do anything" as an actor.

The Dublin-born actor, who died in hospital after a bout of pneumonia, worked in TV, film, theatre and radio in his six-decade career. He won four Baftas......


…….always seem to be good in all his roles….even if film was bad……?!

The great Thespians are all leaving us, bereft and bereaved. And yet they live on in our memories and our recordings.

The man was a legend in more than one way. Not everyone got a corner named for them on Top Gear

Where was Snape?

I thought it was a damn shame that Richard Harris passed. I never warmed up to Gambon as Dumbledore. That is not throwing shade on his other accomplishments, to be sure.

He actually made a good cannibal in Book of Eli...

RIP, Sir.
