    Most likely find him a new voice. Richard Harris (dumble door for the first 2 harry potters died, and they found a new voice actor). You guys think WAY to much into things.

    was the dumble door thing serious? or were you just kidding?

    but, yeah, my sister and i and all of Mugglenet had a day of mourning for Richard Harris.

    Micheal Gambon is the enemy!

    GRR!!

    but, i don't think that's a very good analogy because Richard Harris played in the movies when Albus was still alive in the books. they couldn't have killed off his character because Richard Harris died, because his character was still alive in the books.

    Iroh however....

    They also didn't stop making POA, or Goblet of Fire (GOF) either because of Haris's death. They will find someone else, to voice Iroh.

    According to avatarspirit.net, Season 2 is already a wrap, at least as far as the voice work goes.?? So we will still get to hear our beloved Mako/Iroh for the rest of this season.??

    We don't know what Iroh's fate??was originally intended to??be anyway, so it's too soon to speculate on season 3.

    No disrespect meant for Richard Harris, but didn't he die some time ago. Anyway, I doubt that Mako's death will influence Iroh's (rest in peace Mako), but that doesn't mean Iroh won't die. Voice actor's lives don't influence their characters, like Dante Basco and Mae Whitman (as Jake and Rose/ Zuko and Katara).

    Iroh is too popular of a character, I seriously doubt that the writers would kill off Iroh, as I know a lot of viewers will probably stop watching the show because of it. Either they will find a way to keep Iroh occupied in Book 3 so he won't be around too much, or they will try and find another voice actor who sounds similar to Mako so that Iroh will still sound somewhat the same.

    that'd be really lame. Although, I did wonder this myself. But the whole story of Avatar isn't going to change because Mako died. They'll just replace him next season
