Known for bringing to life Harry Potter at the movies, Daniel Radcliffe mourned the death of his colleague Michael Gambon, Professor Dumbledore in the saga, who died last Thursday (September 28), aged 82. To the Varietythe actor told what the conversations were like alongside Dumbledore’s interpreter.

The most wonderful thing about Michael [Gambon] it’s just that he wasn’t an actor you talked to about acting. His true passion was restoring 19th century Italian dueling pistols. With his loss, the world became considerably less fun.”

Second Radcliffe, the 82-year-old actor made work more fun, being “silly, irreverent and hilarious”, but he always knew when to take work seriously. “He knows he’s at his best when he’s most playful. His ability to turn the key was unparalleled.

He was an incredible teller of stories and jokes, and his habit of blurring the lines of fact and fiction when talking to journalists meant he was also one of the most entertaining people you could hope to do a press conference with.”

Daniel the text continued, recalling the time they spent together filming the film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009): “The sixth film was when I spent most of my time working with Michael, and he made the hours we spent together in front of a green screen more memorable and joyful than they had any right to be.

Daniel Radcliffe It is Michael Gambon worked together in the film adaptation of J.K. Rowling in the eight films in the saga, released between 2001 and 2011. This year, the Warner Bros. Discovery announced a new TV adaptation of the story.
