He will definitely be missed. Tremendous actor. I loved him in Sleepy Hollow too. REST IN HEAVEN. PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY.

The irony is that Michael Gambon would have hated this.

🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄 So glad I got the chance to grow up watching him as Dumbledore and Robie as Hagrid. It is about to be October, so it is time for a HP marathon.
