Dumbledore actor Michael Gambon, who played the Hogwarts headmaster in several of the Harry Potter films, has died, aged 82. In honour of the beloved actor, LondonWorld has rounded up some of his red-carpet appearances in the capital.
The Dublin-born actor who grew up in Camden went on to begin his career in London as one of the original members of Laurence Olivier’s National Theatre acting company.
