Is Albus Dumbledore dead in real life?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Albus Dumbledore doesn't exist in real life, he is a fictional character.

Dumbledore was played by two actors. In the first two movies Richard Harris played Dumbledore but the role had to be recast after Harris passed away.

Michael Gambon played Dumbledore in the rest of the movies.
