Some of the older actors in the Harry Potter series could be just as much pranksters as their younger co-stars. The Dumbledore actor himself had a knack for making Daniel Radcliffe laugh. Sometimes, Gambon would come off so hysterical that Radcliffe had trouble pulling himself together to shoot a particular scene.
