“There was no better Hagrid,” Watson wrote on Instagram. In addition to the “Harry Potter” movies, Coltrane starred in other films and TV series such as “Cracker,” “The Comic Strip Presents” and “Tutti Frutti,” as well as the James Bond installments “GoldenEye” and “The World Is Not Enough.” “He was an incredible actor and a lovely man.” “I feel incredibly lucky that I got to meet and work with him and very sad that he’s passed,” Radcliffe said in a statement. … A giant hearted man who was still looking out for us even decades later.” No one else on this planet could played Hagrid, only Robbie. “I’ll never forget the smell of cigars and beard glue – a wonderful combination. “Heartbroken to hear that Robbie is gone,” Grint wrote on Instagram.
Other “Harry Potter” alumni who honored Coltrane this week were Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), James Phelps (Fred Weasley), Oliver Phelps (George Weasley), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), David Thewlis (Remus Lupin), Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick) and Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe. I’ll really miss your sweetness, your nicknames, your warmth, your laughs and your hugs. “Know how much I adore you and admire you. “Robbie, if I ever get to be so kind as you were to me on a film set I promise to do it in your name and memory,” she said. Watson and Coltrane shared several scenes across the eight “Harry Potter” films – including one emotional sequence in which Hagrid comforts Hermione after the Hogwarts school bully, Draco Malfoy, calls her a “filthy little mudblood” (a fictional slur directed at witches and wizards with non-magical parents).Īccording to Watson’s Instagram post, Coltrane was just as benevolent off-screen as his fan-favorite character was onscreen. “His talent was so immense it made sense he played a giant – he could fill ANY space with his brilliance.” “Robbie was like the most fun uncle I’ve ever had but most of all he was deeply caring, and compassionate towards me as a child and an adult,” wrote Watson, who was 11 when the first “Harry Potter” film hit theaters in 2001.
In the fantasy films, Watson played brilliant young witch Hermione Granger while Coltrane portrayed gentle half-giant wizard Rubeus Hagrid. On her Instagram story, Watson shared a sweet photo of her and Coltrane catching up while filming HBO Max’s “Harry Potter” reunion special last year. Emma Watson was among several “Harry Potter” cast members who paid tribute this weekend to their beloved co-star Robbie Coltrane, who died Friday at age 72.
