A follow up question to the one I posted on the last video....could Dumbledore have been a Keeper like the Keepers in the game Hogwarts Legacy? While Professor Fig knew about Ancient Magic, that was because his wife was personally researching it. No one else knew anything. However, Dumbledore not only knew about Ancient Magic, he knew enough about it to tell Harry how it protected him, knowledge only a Keeper or wielder would have had about it.
RIP Michael Gambon. You brought so much heart and warmth to that iconic role and will live in our hearts forever. I wish his family, friends and loved ones strength and peace during this difficult time.
RIP Sir Michael Gambon, Dumbledore, the greatest Headmaster of Hogwarts 🪦 You will always be cherished and loved for your immense talent, we will miss you 💔
@@davidfitzpatrick6535 In last decade, mainly the last 3 years we have sadly lost Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Leslie Phillips (the voice of the sorting hat), Helen McCrory (Narcissa Malfoy), Dave Legeno (Fenrir Greyback), Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley), Robert Hardy (Cornelius Fudge), John Hurt (Ollivander), Terence Bayler (The Bloody Baron) and of course Alan Rickman and now Michael Gambon. May they all rest in peace.
Rest In Peace Mr. Gambon. You entertained us all through the decades with your many credits, and most of all as Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. Thank you very much sir.
"Really, Hagrid, if you are holding out for universal popularity, I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time,' said Dumbledore, now peering sternly over his half-moon spectacles. 'Not a week has passed, since I became Headmaster of this school, when I haven't had at least one owl complaining about the way I run it. But what should I do? Barricade myself in my study and refuse to talk to anybody?"- my favourite Dumbledore quote.
"What if we do this really crazy and weird thing?" "In hindsight that did work out very well" Dumbledore summed up Also this kind of video is really cool, it's great to have all the canon information about someone or a topic combined like this
You should do the full life story of a Harry Potter character whenever the actor who played them dies. But first you have to work through the backlog, of Severus Snape and Vernon Dursley.
Micheal Gambon gave life to dombulore in the movies him and snape in that memory scence is such a classic scence to go over to watch and no matter how many timea i watch it i feel the chills
he will live on forever in our hearts. after all, he very calmy asked harry whether he put his name in the goblet of fire. in all seriousness, a genuine icon today, and a legend in passing. Rest in Peace my friend.
I always assumed Grindelwald was stuck in Nurmengard so he would be far away from the other dark wizards in Azkaban so he couldn't influence them in any way
That was fantastic Jonathan. Not that I didn't know his story but you told it in an organized and fun way (although the story itself is far from being fun). I have much respect to the memory of Richard Harris and Michael Gambon, both were fantastic actors who did an incredible job in the role. Personally I loved Michael's acting more but after reading the books, I realized Richard gave a more book accurate Dumbledore on screen which I appreciate. Please continue with such videos and I hope the next one will be on Snape, I never hide that I am a Snape fanboy. If I had to define Snape in a line I would say "Villain in the service of good duo to circumstances for most of the story."
I know originally dumbledore wasn’t played my Gambon, but i do think he was the best fit for the darker-theme the series had from azkaban forwards. truly a legend.
Does anyone else think it maybe a good idea to make a mini quiz series about each of the characters who's actor or actress has passed on? Like making it a memorabilia trivia album.
Albus Dumbledore reminds me a lot of Profesor Charles Xavier from X-Men and Lelouch vi Britainnia from Code Geass. A hero with with a heart of gold who fought against evil, a Genius scholar and strategist who outsmarted many enemies, and a manipulator who hid many things from his closest friends and caused a lot of collateral damage.
Loved this video! And I would love to see more. Maybe you can do the full lives of James and Lily Potter? Given their deaths before the series even begins, we don't really get much information on their lives, even with Snape's flashback. Granted, there's not much to say since they died so early in life, but it'd be cool to see what their years at Hogwarts were like besides what we get from Snape's biased flashback.
Thank you for catching that bit of Neville grandmother. It often gets overlooked. Which is the root of his fear of snape. He trust his grandmother but Potions is the subject he struggles the most. The one we see Neville experienced the most humiliation from years 1-3. The high expectations from his guardians impedes on Neville progress as a wizard as he is given his father wand as a way to live up to him. Failing magic with his father wand which was incompatible did not help. The biggest clue is the fear Neville shows when Lupin suggested his grandmother. While Neville plays it off as a funny tale on discovering his magic. His uncle did push him off the roof because the family feared he might be a squib. So his insecurity is tide to his inability to succeed in magic.
Why do I feel that Grindlewald, even at that young age, knew that Albus was the mightiest wizard he was ever likely to meet? So much so that he took steps at 17 years old to insure that Albus could never overpower him. First, he made Albus fall in love with him and then they made the blood pact. Falling in love was an emotional deterrent -who wants to hurt or kill the love of your life-and the blood pact was a physical barrier to make sure that Albus could never overpower him. Did Gellert ever really love Albus or did he just manipulate him into making sure the strongest wizard in existence other than himself could never overpower him?
I guess thats the answers we would have gotten in the fourth and fifth fantastic beast movie :). He did though (at least in the books) defend him to his last breath, which counts as something at least I guess
I think it was implied he manipulated him but still felt for him a little. Dumbledore eventually realized this which is why he always turns down positions of power. In fear that it might happen again.
Just yesterday, this Australian news program I was watching showed the clip from Prisoner of Azkaban of Dumbledore saying 'three turns will do the trick.'. It was to remind people to change their clocks for daylight savings and had nothing to do with Gambon's passing. It probably wasn't intentional, but the coincidence was uncanny.
ooh, I'd love a bio on Minerva McGonagall. This was great. and I can't wait for the podcast to start. It'll be interesting to hear someone other than Jim Dale read the stories (and sing for the sorting hat!)
I am so happy you guys are reading the books on a podcast, ive been wanting it since i found you guys and youre amazing voices and inflections when reading quotes and things. I’ll definitely be tuned in!!!!
Please do a what if video on what if Kretcher never told Voldemort who Harry would undoubtedly go save in the MOM, because Sirius never said the crucial words “get out!” Thank you so much you guys are incredible and I love your videos
Gosh I was so sad to hear of his death. Michael Gambon was such a brilliant actor, and I would like to mention his role in Doctor Who as Karzaan in the Christmas special a few years back. Absolutely fab in both roles.
Michael Gambon is a very good Dumbledore and yes Both Alan Rickman and Michael Gambon Pranking Daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter in a Farting Machine in Prisoner Of Azkaban behind the scenes in Special Edition too.
Rest In Peace, Sir Michael Gambon, you were an absolute legend, and an incredible actor, and person in general! 'Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light' - Albus Dumbledore
i’m rewatching this as i’m caught up on all HP vids at this point, and through the griffin door . i’m hoping for a fourth and even possibly a fifth movie for Fantastic Beasts. there’s so much to still uncover!!!
I have a theory that the reason that Dumbledore is so opposed to the Dementors is because of Grindlewald. Both the Arianna business (as Auntie Muriel put it) and the conflicting feelings towards the man.
The point of alchemy is not to make the philosophers stone but projection of materials and one self to a higher states of being or move closer towards purity and perfection such as removing flaws from precious gemstones. However, the philosophers stone is considered important not because it turns base metals to gold, that is only the test to see if they made it right, it's the elixir of life that they seek and not because it makes you "immortal". The elixir is supposed to allow the alchemist to witness reality from a position of privilege giving them the knowledge of life, death and the way things work because they believe only with true knowledge can one ever hope to become perfect... which includes dying at the perfect time as the perfect story isn't too long or too short.
yes this style of video is great! I’d love to see lesser known people such as regulus, narcissa, lucius, bellatrix. And popular people such as james, lily, sirius, peter, bill, charlie, molly and arthur weasley. Basically everyone hahahahah
The thing I always wondered is that when Dumbledore got cursed and Snape managed to isolate the curse into Dumbledore's hand, what would have happened if Dumbledore severed that hand before the curse had a chance to grow back into the rest of his body?
Super excited about the podcast! I've been meaning to use Harry Potter to read the books in practicing Spanish and French alongside the original, so I figure this is a good opportunity to just do it chapter by chapter alongside you guys!
Death is just another path. One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
Watching the raising of the wands in HBP is really gonna hit different now. And I already cry so much 😢 really excited to hear about the new podcast, I'll be listening!!!
RIP Michael Gambon! That morning I had just listened to the chapter in the cave and then his talk with Draco on the tower. I couldn't finish the book and went straight to seven after the news broke.
"Unsurprising to you at home though, I'm sure - turns out, Gellert Grindelwald? Not a really nice guy. Kind of a super Dark wizard. Not good choice for significant other." What an apt summing-up of Grindelwald's character 😂
I think the real reason for the obstacles leading up to the mirror of erised is purely just you wouldn’t go through all of that if you didn’t really want the stone and if you wanted the stone for yourself you couldn’t get it anyway so it was still a potential risk without the obstacles.
There is one MAJOR weirdness in the curse that blackened his hand. IF the curse was contained to that hand at the present, why did Severus not used Sectum Sempra, and severed that hand off? I mean at that point, it should not have spread I think.
When Dumbledore is given evidence that Horcruxes were Voldemort's method of choice for immortality, you have to wonder what the other options were. My mind strays to the 1988 film Waxwork, in which Sir Wilfred, an elderly occultist, gestures to a bookshelf in his house offhandedly and says half the books there can teach you how to sell your soul to the devil to get eternal life.
I have memories of Freeform (ABC Family) doing Harry Potter weekends and having Harry Potter movie nights with friends. Gambon was also in the Dr. Who episode a Christmas Carol as Mr. Sardic
I like to think Dumbledore spend a good amount of time during the third book researching Voldemort and investigating the possibility of Voldemort had created horcruxes. Given than Dumbledore had just found out about the first one, this makes sense to me.
RIP Michael Gambon. Gone from our world but never forgotten. All of our precious Harry Potter actors brought us so much joy. We'll miss you. Wherever you are, know you're loved

"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living and above all, those who live without love." - Dumbledore
Easily the best line in the entire series.
i needed this thank you
Truly One of the best lines of the series❤
Definitely not ruined on a weird fanfiction about Voldemort's son, could you imagine?
@@genio2509Good thing that fanfiction never happened. It was just a weird rumor.
RIP Michael Gambon. You brought so much heart and warmth to that iconic role and will live in our hearts forever. I wish his family, friends and loved ones strength and peace during this difficult time.
And one of the best scenes in Harry Potter. Harry, did you put your name in the goblet of fire!!!!!!!

"Happiness Can Be Found, Even In The Darkest Of Times, If One Only Remembers To Turn On The Light." - Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
I used this quote in my wedding vows.
@@sunshine34567890 nice!
Hands down this is one of my favorite Quotes by Dumbledore
@@VolcanicTsunami sucks that he passed, RIP Michael Gambon
I was devastated for his death. Our Harry Potter actors are dying and i am so sad. I feel like a part of my childhood is gone. I cried so much . 😢
Ikr? Hagrid recently died as well
@@davidfitzpatrick6535That one broke me as bad as Alan Rickman.

May they all rest in peace.

I especially love the part where Harry refers to Rita Skeeter as a "cow" and Dumbledore pretends not to hear; he secretly agrees.
"What if we do this really crazy and weird thing?"
"In hindsight that did work out very well"
Dumbledore summed up
Also this kind of video is really cool, it's great to have all the canon information about someone or a topic combined like this
Three Dumbledores gone, Harris, Gambon and book version. My god was Dumbledore a person you would like to meet and know :(
3? Richard, Michael, who’s the other one?
@@spinba11 The real Dumbledore in the books.
You're.... including a fictional character with people that are actually dead....
@@SgtSupaman Yea I do, because he truly was somthing else even in the books
Only Jude Law is back still alive
You should do the full life story of a Harry Potter character whenever the actor who played them dies. But first you have to work through the backlog, of Severus Snape and Vernon Dursley.
And Hagrid, Narcissa, Olivander, Barty Crouch Sr., Griphook I, Fudge, Belby, The Bloody Baron, Greyback and Dumbledore I.
@@Black-Swan-007 I mean no reason to do Dumbledore again unless we get more information about it.

The point of alchemy is not to make the philosophers stone but projection of materials and one self to a higher states of being or move closer towards purity and perfection such as removing flaws from precious gemstones.

I loved this video. Even though I knew most of the content, it was nice to have it all chronological and tied together. Thanks gobs.
I liked this style of video. I’ve never run through the chronology like this
Perfect way to end the video. I've always loved that quote.
yes this style of video is great! I’d love to see lesser known people such as regulus, narcissa, lucius, bellatrix. And popular people such as james, lily, sirius, peter, bill, charlie, molly and arthur weasley. Basically everyone hahahahah
if albus and grinerwald made a pact never to fight each other, what happened in that three way duel against Aberforth?
R.I.P Michael Gambon. You played the role of dumbledore so well and brought warmth to our hearts with it:)🪄
Wands up for our Headmaster thank you for the joy you brought us
The thing I always wondered is that when Dumbledore got cursed and Snape managed to isolate the curse into Dumbledore's hand, what would have happened if Dumbledore severed that hand before the curse had a chance to grow back into the rest of his body?
I really liked this. My picks for biography essays would be Sirius Black and everyone’s favorite time traveling witch Minerva Magonagol.
Super excited about the podcast! I've been meaning to use Harry Potter to read the books in practicing Spanish and French alongside the original, so I figure this is a good opportunity to just do it chapter by chapter alongside you guys!
Rest in peace Michael Gambon
May you rest in peace, while your legacy lives on for all eternity, Bright as a Phoenix
🪄🪄🪄
I wonder if Dumbledore ever used the resurrection stone after he destroyed the horcrux he did have it for awhile and obviously wanted to use it
Thank you so much for making a video about Dumbledore. I can’t wait for Sunday for the first chapter of Harry Potter and the philosopher Stone
Death is just another path. One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
