Harry Potter actor Michael Gambon as Dumbledore gave us 10 hard-hitting lesson on life, love and loss

Harry Potter actor Michael Gambon as Dumbledore gave us 10 hard-hitting lesson on life, love and loss - You may not like him, Minister, but you can't dispute that Dumbledore has elegance, as Kingsley Shacklebolt says to a furious Cornelius Fudge in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Greatest Wizard of All Time, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, made a fairly impressive departure involving a phoenix and a blaze of fire.

Any actor of talent would find it difficult to assume Dumbledore's persona, or in this instance, don his distinctive half-moon glasses and eccentric wardrobe, which includes but is not limited to high-heeled boots and electric-blue robes. But like Harry did with Quidditch, Sir Michael Gambon adapted to the part like a second skin.

Richard Harris, a renowned actor who passed away in 2002 during the production of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, was replaced by actor Michael Gambon in the character of Professor Dumbledore from 2004 until 2011. One of the most cherished characters in the series may change mid-franchise, but Harris already matched the description of the Dumbledore J.K. Rowling had written about. Despite having a historic cinematic career spanning five decades, Gambon immediately made the part his own, and it is the one for which he is most remembered.

At the age of 82, Sir Michael Gambon passed away on September 27. A famous and appropriate quote from Dumbledore has appeared online as fans of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and the rest of the cast wave their wands in his honor: "To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."

1.There are many more pearls of wisdom in Dumbledore's Pensieve of life lessons than just this one. We choose the finest as an homage to Gambon and his legendary portrayal of the wizarding headmaster.

The famous line from Dumbledore is a soother for the weary spirit. Even more significant is the fact that he says this in The Prisoner of Azkaban, where the soul-sucking Dementors border the castle walls.

2. "Do you think the loved ones who have passed away truly left us?
You you believe that we don't remember them more clearly at difficult times?
One of the series' central themes in Harry Potter is loss. The comforting and even hopeful words of Dumbledore about our loved ones guarding us from beyond the veil.

3. "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that" The risks of living the life we believe we ought to live instead of the one we really have are more important than ever. Don't spend too much time living in your thoughts that you miss out on life since time doesn't wait for anybody.

4. "You fail to see that what matters is not one's birth, but rather one's development."
Pure-bloods, half-bloods, muggles, and squibs experience the same privileges or prejudice according to their stations in Harry Potter as they would in the real world. But Dumbledore thinks all of that is nonsense. Who you are resolved to become is independent of where you are from. 

5. "Words are our most inexhaustible source of magic, in my not-so-humble opinion"
capacity to both cause harm and make it right.
Perhaps one of Gambon's most cutting lines as Dumbledore is this one. In every relationship, whether it be in the wizarding community or just among ordinary Muggles, communication is essential.

6. "We must all weigh the pros and cons of doing what is right versus what is simple."
Sometimes it takes too much effort to act morally. It frequently has its own unique set of challenges. But one thing is for certain—it will always be profitable. Your morality will appreciate it.

7. "Forgiving someone who did something wrong is easier than forgiving someone who did something right"
We will let this one explain itself as we have all been in this situation.

8. "Perhaps the people who never really sought power are the ones who are best suited to it."

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Dumbledore makes this comment to Harry in reference to Harry being able to assume the position of a leader without becoming overwhelmed by the power that comes with it. That is what a great leader is, in Dumbledore's opinion.

9. "And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure" Everyone deserves to have adventure. But you can't always count on it to come your way. 

10. "Hon, don't feel sorry for the deceased. Pity those who are alive, especially those who lack affection.
Another poignant theme in the Harry Potter books is that death is not the end. Dumbledore believed that there are worse misfortunes than death, such as spending a life devoid of love, companionship, passion, and adventure. Do not judge your life by the amount of time you believe you have. Live it such that, if you pass away tomorrow, you won't have any regrets.
