Happy Birthday Sir Michael Gambon

Yesterday, (we are so, so sorry your Knightliness) Sir Michael Gambon celebrated his 75 birthday! Sir Gambon played the role of Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films (3-8), after Richard Harris passed away. He was also featured in J.K. Rowling’s The Casual Vacancy BBC mini series.

Sir Gambon provided the Harry Potter set not only with talent, but with his famous humor. He danced with Alan Rickman, which became the subject of one of the best GIFs ever created. Alan Rickman also sold him out on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, for pulling the ultimate prank on Daniel during “Prisoner of Azkaban” (he put a fart machine in his sleeping bag).

Today we thank Sir Michael Gambon for all that he has brought to the Harry Potter world, and apologize for the belated well wishes, and hope that he had a splendid 75th birthday!
