Harris WILL NOT be recreated  
Richard Harris, the actor who sadly died in October, will not be computer regenerated for the part of Professor Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. There were reports in newspapers that computer technology would be used to recreate him. But Warner Bros told CBBC Newsround this is completely false. The reports said unused film footage of Richard as Dumbledore would be superimposed - using computer wizardry - onto his stand-in actor, Harry Robinson. There's no word yet, though, on who might play the role.

Richard Harris to be digitally added to 'Harry Potter 3'?  
Perhaps a long shot, but The Sun reports that "Harry Potter" actor Richard Harris, who passed away in October, may have his face digitally added to "Harry Potter & The Prizoner of Azkaban." Harris' stand-in, Harry Robinson, would shoot the on-set sequences, while Richard Harris' face would be added in post-production. One insider said, "Many hours of footage are currently being scanned to see if the process is viable for the film."

Harris remembered at Church Service  
This is a similar article, but this service took place sometime today (Sunday). Family and friends of Richard Harris have paid their last respects to the actor at a memorial service in Ireland. One similar memorial took place in Limerick also, but the other service was held at Jesuit Church. Harris, 72, was remembered at a mass in the Church of the Sacred Heart in Limerick, his place of birth. The service was an open service, and included family and friends' readings. [i]He died in hospital in London on 26 October after losing his battle with Hodgkin's Disease. In the past, Richard Harris was known for his roles in Camelot and Gladiator. But to all of us Harry Potter fans he was our Professor Dumbledore. "He was the archetypal star, he was like an old Hollywood legend." said Film Director Michael Winner. In my opinion, Richard Harris is the only Dumbledore there could ever be. The Article can be found at BBC News
