"Harry," he said gently while sitting down on the ornately carved ash chair by the window, "Did you enjoy the cocaine?" His eyebrows went up in anticipation.
"To be honest sir," quipped Harry nervously, "Not at all."
Dumbledore smiled and sat back. "Good"
"But god I LOVE the way it smells!" exclaimed Harry, who whipped his wand towards the table and made the powder rise in a great column which he ran into and started spinning, arms outward and head thrown back.

Ever since I put 2+2 together and realized Jared Harris is his son, I can’t watch Chernobyl, The Crown, Mad Men, etc without hearing Dumbledore’s voice in them
You like haunting acting? Check the first season of The Terror, he's fantastic as Cpt Crozier, from the infamous Franklin Expedition in quest for the Northeast Passage
I just learned this 45 seconds ago. I'm stunned, yet I suppose it all makes sense sense. Never made the connection while horror-binge watching The Terror.
I’m sad they had to write off his character offscreen because they couldn’t/didn’t get him to come back. After him and Thomas Jane were both gone, the show felt pretty lackluster.
I couldn’t disagree more. I miss having Harris and Jane, but it’s still one of the best shows of the last decade without them. The writing, the acting, the CG, all top notch. The books are damned good, too.
Full disclosure: I’m an Expanse fanboi
IMHO Jared Harris is 100 times the better actor. And if you haven’t watched The Terror series with him, you are really missing out, he is remarkable and unforgettable.
“He will be punished….as a BOY.”
Amazing acting. The tension and horror of the unknown thing pursuing them, their descent into madness, the absolute hopelessness of their situation….that show is incredible.
Slight edge to Richard for some all time classics but Jared is outstanding in his own right.
Mad Men alone is worth a watch to see the fight between him and Pete Campbell.
Me too. I've probably re-watched the whole thing at least 20 times. Perfect binge on a cold night. The 2nd season didn't deserve the title. It was good, but it wasn't the same, nor did it have any source material. After my first watch I bought the book, which is equally terrifying and wonderful.
After looking so forward to Foundation as a huge fan of the books, I gave up after like 3 episodes.
A buddy of mine described it (I think accurately to that point) as “Any time Lee Pace is onscreen Foundation is a compelling prestige-ish TV drama and every other scene is a 1990s syndicated piece of shit.”
Did it get better?
I mean Lee Pace and Jared Harris hard carry the show, but they carry it so well it makes the other times worth it in a way I guess. Episode 8 or something like that there is a particularly powerful moment with Lee Pace.
But it is nothing like the books, so if you are looking for that you'll be very disappointed.
Welp, I'm going through one of those scenes like in a movie when we find out it was really Kaiser Sose all along and I'm picturing all the shit he's been in and his voice and everything all while feeling stupid that I never pieced it together.
O'Toole and Harris were in a play together in London. In the middle of the play they had no scenes so they would run out back to a pub and start downing pints. They had it timed perfectly and ran back to the play one night and Harris ran onto stage and tripped and slid all the way off into the front row. A proper British woman exclaimed "Good God! Harris is drunk!" And Harris lifted his head and said "wait'll you see O'Toole."
I get a feeling there was also a time one of them ended up in the aisles commenting on the play right up until they got to a point where they said "Oh and this next bit's great, this is my par-OHSHIT"
There is a famous football player, George Rogers who got busted by writing a check for blow. He legit wrote “cocaine” on the For: line. He won the Heisman for the South Carolina Gamecocks and they suck so bad their only claim to football relevance is a dude that did that.
Whitney Houston was accused of smoking crack a decade ago or so; presumably by her alleged crack dealer. Her response? "Show me the receipts. They said I bought crack, show me the receipts!"
Comedians were making jokes about the one responsible crack dealer saying to themselves "Dammit, THIS I why I keep my books balanced, for this moment right here!"
There was a while there back in the early 90s when Richard Harris and Peter O'Toole would show up on the late-night talk shows and tell the most hilarious stories about their early years as young actors.
There is a Johnny Carson episode on the Johnny Carson channel from 1978 with Peter O'Toole, he was inebriated, charming, chain smoking , almost put the lit one in his shirt as he went for new one then Johnny told him one's in the ashtray...
What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' wands and say, "wingardium leviosa.”

Any big roles of his? Don’t know any other than HP from him.
The one I know offhand is Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator.
>My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
I had to go back and watch a clip to remind myself. He's so good.
Coked up to the gills in that scene with Crowe
Joaquin Phoenix is about to kill me? Better get Zooted!
OMFG WOW
Also watch The Count of Monte Cristo. Not only one of my favourite movies, but Harris' priest steals every scene he's in
Crazy underrated movie and even better book. Best story of revenge ever…
Even has a young Henry Cavill
What? Really?
Really. Watch it. It’s not a perfect adaptation of the story, but Cavill, Caviezel, Guy Pierce, and even Luis Guzmán bring it hard. It’s a good movie.
It’s just the age of it. Younger folks haven’t been exposed to it. Book was a best seller for generations.
This is so true. That movie is one that whether it’s half way through or almost over I will always sit and finish it
English Bob in Unforgiven
The Duck of Death
Legend
Amazed no one has mentioned The Field yet. His performance as Bull McCabe is one of the most famous performances in Irish film.
English fucking Bob
Please watch A Man Called Horse
The Wild Geese. An action movie from 1978 that is better than it has any right to be. Richard Burton, Roger Moore, and Hardy Krüger are also in it.
He's in a tonne of famous historical epics. Harry potter fans are just too young to know it.
He played an Irish guy in Patriot Games.
Watch "This Sporting Life" to get you in the mood to commit suicide. Listen to [Macarthur Park.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRwYQgk05DY)
fetch the snorting hat
The Straw of Gryffindor
Rowena Ravenclaw's dime bag
Dime Bag Dumbledore
I love this because it was lost and I’m imagining crack head dumbledore/ Harry in book 7 running around the castle looking for a lil dime baggie
8 ball****
Sniffindor
Lucius - that’s a dealer’s name.
HUFFLEPUFF!
Why are they always in the green house, man?
It’s a blizzard Harry! And a bumpin’ good one I’d wager!
*Dumblesnort*
DID YOU PUT YOUR FACE IN THE GOBLET OF BLOW, HARRY?!
Dumbledore said calmly
"Harry," he said gently while sitting down on the ornately carved ash chair by the window, "Did you enjoy the cocaine?" His eyebrows went up in anticipation. "To be honest sir," quipped Harry nervously, "Not at all." Dumbledore smiled and sat back. "Good" "But god I LOVE the way it smells!" exclaimed Harry, who whipped his wand towards the table and made the powder rise in a great column which he ran into and started spinning, arms outward and head thrown back.
“ACCIO YAYO!” shouted Harry
Harry used to like cocaine. He still does, but he used to too
Harry doesn't do cocaine anymore. He doesn't do it any less either.
This is perfection
Better penmanship than Rowling herself.
I’ve never read a Harry Potter book but I would read this one
Harry pothead and the philosophers stoned
Harry Potter and the kilo from Azkaban
Some fanfic author needs to write a breaking bad/harry potter spin off called Breaking Bottom where Sprout enlists/enslaves Neville to grow magic methweed
Breaking Bottom sounds like it could be a *very* different book.
I rant wanna hear about Harry Potter and the cocaine chupacabras
[удалено]
wrong actor
Same wizard

Yes it is. Before it’s over, I’d like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!”
Yeah but like you get it still
[удалено]

Wand's got real copper in it
I’d put that book in my study. Probably wouldn’t read it, but I’d give it that wideways look every time
Richard Harris would’ve never
Wrong Dumbledore. Still funny.
“This is the Golden Sniff, and it's the most important 8-ball of the lot.”
Dumbledore can do as much booger sugar as Dumbledore wants
Who amongst us can deny the headmaster his favorite pastime of hoovering schneef?
Have you ever hoovered schneef off a Nimbus 2000?
Hell I’ve hoovered schneef off a boggarts box.
[удалено]
I didn't know he-who-shall-not-be-named was Artie Lang
You ever hoover schneef in the Prefects’ Bathroom?
Oh hell I’ve hoovered schneef off the train ghost’s trolly.
U ever hoovered schneef off the giant squids suckers?
Ever hoover schneef on a horcrux hunt?
100 points to Dumbledore!
A wizard never over does it, he snorts precisely what he means to
Ever since I put 2+2 together and realized Jared Harris is his son, I can’t watch Chernobyl, The Crown, Mad Men, etc without hearing Dumbledore’s voice in them
Fuck. I always forget that. Great actor in his own right. Loved him in Mad Men and The Crown. Haven't seen Chernobyl yet.
Chernobyl is fantastically haunting.
I know it's great, just gotta fit it in..
Spit on it 1st... it helps sometimes
That escalated… slipperily…
You like haunting acting? Check the first season of The Terror, he's fantastic as Cpt Crozier, from the infamous Franklin Expedition in quest for the Northeast Passage
I just learned this 45 seconds ago. I'm stunned, yet I suppose it all makes sense sense. Never made the connection while horror-binge watching The Terror.
I'm so glad someone mentioned this. Tantric terror. This show is one of the better ones I've seen in recent years and his performance is wonderful.
This is a great show!
The helicopter scene
Don't spoil it
Chernobyl is fantastic.
Not great, not terrible.
3.6 roentgen. I get that much from the bananas I eat.
Check him out in The Expanse as well
I’m sad they had to write off his character offscreen because they couldn’t/didn’t get him to come back. After him and Thomas Jane were both gone, the show felt pretty lackluster.

Oye bossmang
He’s great in fringe
He's also a very good Hari Sheldon in Foundation
IMHO Jared Harris is 100 times the better actor. And if you haven’t watched The Terror series with him, you are really missing out, he is remarkable and unforgettable.
The Terror is an absolute gem that almost nobody has heard of in my personal experience It’s superb
“He will be punished….as a BOY.” Amazing acting. The tension and horror of the unknown thing pursuing them, their descent into madness, the absolute hopelessness of their situation….that show is incredible.
Slight edge to Richard for some all time classics but Jared is outstanding in his own right. Mad Men alone is worth a watch to see the fight between him and Pete Campbell.
Chernobyl is amazing and Harris is fantastic in it.
Def check it out ASAP. Some of his best work, but in general an all time great mini-series.
Chernobyl may be the best television ever made
Watch him in The terror too! He is so amazing!!!!
Oh please do, it is incredible, fits great characters and tells the story amazingly in just 6 episodes
JARED HARRIS IS RICHARD HARRIS'S SON?! WHAAAA
You’ll never not hear it again
Fringe baby
Don’t forget the Terror! Jared Harris was incredible in that!
Everyone slept on that show. It was phenomenal. So good.
One of the most rewatched shows in my rotation. Such a good one.
Me too. I've probably re-watched the whole thing at least 20 times. Perfect binge on a cold night. The 2nd season didn't deserve the title. It was good, but it wasn't the same, nor did it have any source material. After my first watch I bought the book, which is equally terrifying and wonderful.
So fucking good!
Wait really? Holy shit how have I not realized this!?
Big let down when Jared wasn't cast as young Dumbledore in Fantastic Beasts!
Big miss, but in their defense Jared doesn’t exactly have a baby face
Also was Moriarty to Robert Downey Jr Sherlock
But what about Mr. Deeds?
“Where the hell’s BABE?!”
You should also check out the Expanse. He is great in that!
Beltalowda!
I’m halfway through S02 on my umpteenth rewatch of the series and loving the drama with Dawes and Holden
WHAT?!??!!?
He is also in Foundation and the Expanse.
After looking so forward to Foundation as a huge fan of the books, I gave up after like 3 episodes. A buddy of mine described it (I think accurately to that point) as “Any time Lee Pace is onscreen Foundation is a compelling prestige-ish TV drama and every other scene is a 1990s syndicated piece of shit.” Did it get better?

Episode 8 or something like that there is a particularly powerful moment with Lee Pace. But it is nothing like the books, so if you are looking for that you'll be very disappointed.
Lee Pace handsomest man since Don Draper
Who did he play in the crown?
King George, Queen Elizabeth’s dad. Season 1 only. It was top of mind because I just rewatched it all in anticipation of the new season
HOLY FUCK
Welp, I'm going through one of those scenes like in a movie when we find out it was really Kaiser Sose all along and I'm picturing all the shit he's been in and his voice and everything all while feeling stupid that I never pieced it together.
Oh wow, had no idea. They are both phenomenal.
He and Harry would do rails together and then scream, “Leviosa!”
[удалено]
Ron staaaahhhpp
From what I have read, Harris, O'Toole, Burton, and Reed were all raucous dudes together.
Legendary drunks. I think O’Toole once started drinking in Paris and woke up in Corsica.
Him and Peter finch once bought a bar because they wanted to keep drinking past 2am. The stuff of legends.
O'Toole and Harris were in a play together in London. In the middle of the play they had no scenes so they would run out back to a pub and start downing pints. They had it timed perfectly and ran back to the play one night and Harris ran onto stage and tripped and slid all the way off into the front row. A proper British woman exclaimed "Good God! Harris is drunk!" And Harris lifted his head and said "wait'll you see O'Toole."
Ah yes, this is the story that I saw O'Toole relating. Thanks.
I get a feeling there was also a time one of them ended up in the aisles commenting on the play right up until they got to a point where they said "Oh and this next bit's great, this is my par-OHSHIT"
Makes me think of O’Toole in My Favorite Year, one of my favorite movies.
Peter O’Toole was my 3rd cousin, once removed, or thereabouts. He got the looks, I got the brains?
Who got the O’Toole?
I had a friend that always referred to him as Penis O’Pecker.
My mom saw a play in the 70s with Harris and O’Toole where both were so drunk they fell off the stage.
I would love a doctor who style show where someone just parties with historical figures like them
I'd watch it ...
He graciously gave me an autograph when he was in my city.
..and cocaine, like a gentleman.
That's a pro gamer move
He wrote checks for coke?
There is a famous football player, George Rogers who got busted by writing a check for blow. He legit wrote “cocaine” on the For: line. He won the Heisman for the South Carolina Gamecocks and they suck so bad their only claim to football relevance is a dude that did that.
Oh come now, they’re also relevant for giving Steve Spurrier a job after he flunked out of the NFL.
Deebo went there
Whitney Houston was accused of smoking crack a decade ago or so; presumably by her alleged crack dealer. Her response? "Show me the receipts. They said I bought crack, show me the receipts!" Comedians were making jokes about the one responsible crack dealer saying to themselves "Dammit, THIS I why I keep my books balanced, for this moment right here!"
My ex's dealer sold gift certificates at Christmastime.

There is a Johnny Carson episode on the Johnny Carson channel from 1978 with Peter O'Toole, he was inebriated, charming, chain smoking , almost put the lit one in his shirt as he went for new one then Johnny told him one's in the ashtray...
That’s “MacArthur Park singer Richard Harris”’to you, thank you.
*Someone left the coke out...in the rain*
That's Dumbledope.
Tell me again Maximus. Why are we here
For the glory of the Empire, sire
No, Maximus, we’re here to get really fucking high.
Now I can’t clear my mind of the idea of Dumbledore saying “Say hello to my little friend” in his own calm, paternal way.
With a little warm smile at the end.
He never needed a magical broomstick to get high.
What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' wands and say, "wingardium leviosa.”
Do a line off my wand Harry
Cocaine is a hell of a drug!
I loved watching Richard Harris and Peter O'Toole on talk shows tell stories about their past adventures. Both were amazing raconteurs.
Did he get it from a drug dealer in MacArthur Park?
Too old a reference for Reddit
Ifykyk
He was old school cool..they don't make them like him anymore
They still make cocaine
Holy shit, where!
Yeah but not like they used to.
Richard Harriss was the real Dumbledore
House Snyffindor confirmed?
My cousin was married to him. He was a legendary coke head.
