Gambon was best known for playing Professor Albus Dumbledore in the beloved "Harry Potter" series from the third movie to the ninth.
The news of his death on Thursday prompted some of the cast to post their favourite memories and condolences to his family on social media.

"One day we were shooting Dumbledore's final clock tower scene, obviously quite an intense scene," Phelps wrote in a post on X, referring to the scene in which the beloved character dies.
In between takes, Phelps said, he told Gambon his weekend plans, which involved preparing for another "gig."
"Do you have the script with you?" Phelps said Gambon asked. The two then spent what "should have been his downtime" going over the script to help Phelps get ready for the role.
