Richard Harris aka Dumbledore has died
Richard Harris, who currently plays Professor Dumbledore for the Harry Potter movies, has died. Actor Richard Harris Dies at 72
He was a great actor. He was very good iin Camelot - I liked the version he did on Broadway better than the movie he did with Vanessa Redgrave. I wonder now what they're going to do about the future HP movies.

I think they are going to use his double, who looks very much like him and is a good actor. I don't know his name though.
I'm not really a big fan of the HP movies or books, so I don't know why I know this.

Oh man, that is so terrible! Richard Harris was so good at playing Dumbledore, and he made a fine deceased Roman emperor (his small role in Gladiator) I'm going to miss him! *sniff sniff*

You know this is the first post I have ever made in this forum. I was shocked. No one can ever sing McArthur Park like he did.

I read the report when I saw it online at work. It was sad! My mom suggested that they'll replace him and dedicate the next movie to him. The dedication was a good idea. He was a great actor.

Ye gods!!
Harry Potter is gonna be this great mans Swansong? (apologies all you HP fans) this man was a great actor and probs the most publically satirical Irish man since P. O'Toole (he had a great interest in Private Eye Magazine, which Peter founded). Geez this is the worst final performance since Rowel Junior starred in Mortal Kombat before he popped his clogs Ach well, be some good re-runs on the telly soon of his piccy's (A Man Called Horse immediately springs to mind).

That is so sad. I heard on the radio: "The actor who plays the wizard....." and I thought they meant Ian McKellan had died. I nearly had a heart attack.

That's too bad. I thought I had heard he was sick, but I don't quite remember. I have Camelot. I'll have to watch it as a tribute.

richard harris
poor fellow !! i wasn't as shocked as everybody else for i know for a fact about all the illneses he had had ( i mean he was given the last right twice ages befor he actually died) i have heard that he had contracted cancer three times and this time it was his forth. The sad thing about it is that when he found out he had the cancer again he declared that he would never give up fighting it! POOR guy this time it must have defeated him ( tear comes to eye)

Someone had told me that the role might be offered to Christoper Lee, who plays Saruman. I don't know if that's true though, only one of many rumors I'm sure will follow about who will be the replacement.

it would have been nice for them to have a message, but isnt it possible that all the films had already been finished before he died?

Yep, sad news. I'll always remember him from "This Sporting Life", definitely the best rugby league film ever made.
Ok, just about the only rugby league film ever made, but it was still good.
