The Warmth of Robbie Coltrane's Rubeus Hagrid (The Atlantic)

The late Scottish actor never allowed the Harry Potter films to turn his character into mere comic relief.

“You wish there were a power for good in the world that was irresistible to the bad guys,” he said. He took pride in being a part of the staff, but ached to practice magic as freely as they did, and he often drank himself silly. Coltrane began his career as a comic, doing stand-up in Edinburgh and performing on the sketch show, Alfresco, alongside the likes of Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson. In the role, Coltrane, already standing at 6’ 1”, had to perform with extra-small props and sets, don a padded overcoat, and stand on platforms to tower over his co-stars. The character, as written on the page, was a clumsy, delightful, and ever-loyal ally to Harry and his friends, his outward appearance and affection for vicious magical creatures concealing a gentle core. Such was the power of Robbie Coltrane, the Scottish actor who died yesterday at the age of 72, and who, to a generation of Potter fans, was best known for his work playing Hagrid across eight films.

Friends remember the Scottish actor, best known for playing Hagrid in Harry Potter, who died on Friday at the age of 72.

“I clearly remember when I went to talk to him about playing Fitz and all the while he talked to me he was taking a carburettor apart. And he was courageous enough to bring it all to the screen.” “He was a great mechanic too and I wouldn’t like that side of him to be forgotten,” he said. “I remember sleeping on the beach together in France, and then I went on holiday to Spain with Robbie and Keith Allen. I also loved him in our 1984 film, Gino, where he played Max, a guy who was having a breakdown while driving around in his jaguar and drinking. The director and comic actor Peter Richardson, a leading creative force behind the Comic Strip films in which Coltrane first appeared, praised the range of his late friend’s talent: “Everything was big about Robbie.
