Actor Robbie Coltrane, known for his character as Hagrid in the Harry Potter saga, passed away yesterday.

Aged 73, the actor who was also known for his role in detective drama Cracker and James Bond’s Goldeneye and The World Is Not Enough, died in Hospital near Falkirk, Scotland.

Speaking about his co-star, Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter, said: “Robbie was one of the funniest people I’ve met and used to keep us laughing constantly as kids on that set.”

One of my fondest memories of filming Harry Potter was a night shoot on the first film in the forbidden forest. I was 12. Robbie cared & looked after everyone around of him. Effortlessly. And made them laugh. Effortlessly. pic.twitter.com/eQA5v1YCm8

The Scottish star, whose real name is Anthony Robert McMillan, was born in Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, in 1950 began his acting career in 1979.

Arguably his best-known role came in the Harry Potter film series as he starred in all eight movies as Rubeus Hagrid alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.

All we can say is: “There’s no Hogwarts without you, Hagrid.” RIP Legend.
