GAMBON HIDES CIGARETTES IN HARRY POTTER ROBES

MICHAEL GAMBON had a special pocket sewn into his HARRY POTTER costume - so he could keep his cigarettes close at hand at all times.

The thespian, who took over the role of Albus Dumbledore in the hit films after Richard Harris' death, grew tired of having to dash off the set for a quick smoke in between takes, and asked costumers to tailor his silk outfit to aid his bad habit.

Director David Yates reveals, "Michael cleverly conceals a packet of fags below the lower part of the gown."

Gambon adds, "I got the wardrobe to put a little pocket inside for them."

The actor admits he'll miss his Potter clothes when the film series wraps up in 2010: "It is made of silk, it's very fine and so easy to wear. I will miss that."
