Best Answer

The fictional character Albus Dumbledore was played by the actor Richard Harris in the first two films (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets), however he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and died on 25 October 2002.

The part was recast and Michael Gambon was chosen for the role which he played for the rest of the film series and who is still with us.

Albus Dumbledore dies at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. He is killed by Professor Snape and I believe he falls from a tower.

Did Albus Dumbledore come back in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'?

We see him again but he isn't alive. He meets Harry in a sort of limbo. Harry can chose to die or go back (because he isn't fully dead only the part of Voldemort inside him is) and Dumbledore talks to him there. Harry asks if it is all in his head and Dumbledore answers: "Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"
