Quick vraag - So is it just me, of is the Dumbledore from movie one and two replaced door a different actor from the third installation onward? If so, why??
Very unfortunatly, The first Dumbledore, Richard Harris, passed away after they had filmed Chamber of Secrets, so, Michael Gambon stepped in and took the role for the rest of the series.
The origibal actor, Richard Harris, died soon after they finished filming COS. With the new director came a new Dumbledore, Michael Gambon. Gambon finished out the series as Dumbledore. Another little tidbit: Chris Columbus used only turned wands for the characters. (Turned wands are the saame no matter the angle you're looking at) When POA came along, with its new director, thhe actors began using carved wands, which meer closely resemble the real thing.
