description: I was saddened to learn about the death of Richard Harris, the actor who played Albus Dumbledore. I'm curious whether he finished filming his role for the upcoming Harry Potter sequel before he passed away.

I didn't know that [Richard Harris was Dumbledore](http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/articleshow?artid=26340190). Pity. He's no more.

> "He did threaten to kill me if I recast (Professor Dumbledore). I cannot even repeat what he said. He still has got that fight inside of him," Columbus said.

Now, does that mean that he's already finished his role in the sequel?
