Who is Philippa Hart? Meet Dumbledore Michael Gambon's 25-year-younger mistress who met Harry Potter star on set as she is snubbed in actor's inheritance


Sir Michael Gambon has left his £1.5million estate to his wife, Lady Gambon - leaving nothing to the long-term girlfriend Philippa Hart. But who is the set designer?

The Dumbledore actor, who died aged 82, openly divided his time between Lady Anne Gambon and set designer Phillipa Hart, who was 25 years younger than him. According to The Sun, the Harry Potter actor who famously portrayed the iconic character of Dumbledore, openly referred to Philippa as his girlfriend on the set of Gosford Park. He also starred in a string of hit TV shows and in 1968 won an audition to be the next James Bond in On her Majesty's Secret Service after Sean Connery quit.
