Sir Michael Gambon joined the Wizarding World as Albus Dumbledore in Alfonso Cuarón’s adaptation of Prisoner of Azkaban, immediately distinguishing himself from the more stoic performance of Sir Richard Harris in the two previous films. By adding a glimmer of playfulness to the world-renowned Headmaster of Hogwarts, he breathed new life into the character’s portrayal on screen. Some would say his energy was a little too much in Goblet of Fire, but it can’t be denied that he made the scene more memorable.
