Richard Harris (October 1, 1930-October 25, 2002) portrayed Albus Dumbledore in Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets. He died at the age of 72 and was replaced by Michael Gambon (b. October 19, 1940), who portrayed Dumbledore for the rest of the film series. Gambon is currently (Summer 2012) 71 years old.
Five people are listed in the credits as having played Harry Potter in the films. In the first movie the "Saunders Triplets," as credited, played the baby Harry in the first scene. Daniel Radcliffe obviously makes the fourth. Another baby Harry appeared in the seventh film, played by Toby Papworth. That brings the count to five.
However, the case can be made for two more actors playing the part. In the second movie, Harry's character transforms to look like the character of Gregory Goyle, played by Josh Herdman. In the seventh, Harry transforms into Albert Runcorn, played by David O'Hara. Since these two actors were acting as Harry, not as their original roles of Goyle or Runcorn, the case can be made that they also played Harry in the movies, bringing the total to seven.
