Harry Potter star Robbie Coltrane, famously known for playing Rubeus Hagrid, passed away on Friday. The news of his demise was shared by Coltrane’s agent Belinda Wright. According to the reports, the James Bond films actor died at a hospital in Scotland. However, the reason for his demise is not known. He was 72.

Robert Coltrane’s co-star in Harry Potter mourned the demise of the Scottish actor. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, who played the role of Hermione Granger in the franchise, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling honour Robert Coltrane.

From Sorcerer’s Stone in 2001 to Death Hallows – Part 2 in 2011, Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Coltrane shared the screen together in all eight Harry Potter films. Radcliffe said Robbie was one of the funniest people he’d ever met and used to keep them laughing constantly as kids on the set.

Radcliffe’s statement reads, I’ve especially fond memories of him keeping our spirits up on ‘Prisoner of Azkaban,’ when we were all hiding from the torrential rain for hours in Hagrid’s hut and he was telling stories and cracking jokes to keep morale up. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to meet and work with him and very sad that he’s passed. He was an incredible actor and a lovely man, he added.

Emma Watson wrote 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. His talent was so immense that it made sense that he played a giant; his brilliance could fill ANY space.

She further said, Robbie, if I ever get to be as kind to you on a film set, I promise I’ll do it in your name and memory. Know how much I adore and admire you. I’ll really miss your sweetness, your nicknames, your warmth, your laughs, and your hugs. You made us a family. Know you were that to us, Watson continued.

Author J.K. Rowling honored Coltrane with a post on Twitter, writing, I’ll never know anyone remotely like Robbie again. He was an incredible talent, a complete one-off, and I was beyond fortunate to know him, work with him and laugh my head off with him. I send my love and deepest condolences to his family, above all his children, she added.
