Best Answer

In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Albus Dumbledore was played by Richard Harris. Harris passed away from Hodgkin disease during the filming of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, so they had to re-shoot all of his scenes with the recast Michael Gambon, who ultimately played Dumbledore in Prisoner of Azkaban, then in Goblet of Fire, and Order of the Phoenix.
