In a new
interview to promote his current stage work in Beckett's
Krapp’s Last Tape in Dublin, Ireland, Michael Gambon reminisced about the fun times he had on the
Harry Potter films, which he has now completed.
Quote:
... [The] latter six of the eight Harry Potter films, in which he took over from the late Richard Harris as Professor Albus Dumbledore. “I enjoyed it!” he says proudly of his Dumbledore days, though he admits the role may not have stretched him particularly as an actor. “There’s no character really, it’s just me! Me dressed up in a costume! I’m essentially playing myself, that’s all I’m doing.”
Still, he misses the Harry Potter films. “It’s fun laughing all the time, and I know all the other actors, I’ve known them for years. It’s like being with friends.”
