I was sad to see that he passed away yesterday, what an acting legend. Now, I’m no longer a HP fan, but I used to be, and those films had so many greats in them. Michael Gambon, Robbie Coltrane, Alan Rickman…

Very sad to hear of the passing of Sir Michael Gambon.

He was a wonderful actor, very versatile and a thoroughly nice bloke with a wicked sense of humour.
