Robbie Coltrane Death: Tom Felton and Emma Watson remember the Star of Harry Potter: There was never a better Hagrid

Robbie Coltrane portrayed Hagrid in the famous Harry Potter films, and he died on October 14 at 72. Coltrane was an outstanding actor and forensically intelligent and brilliantly witty. After 40 years of being proud to be called his agent, I shall miss him, according to the veteran actor's agent Belinda Wright, who called Coltrane a "unique talent" and "an abidingly loyal client."

Along with J. K. Rowling and Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter, other Harry Potter actors include Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger, Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy; Bonnie Wright, who played Ginny Weasley; James and Oliver Phelps, who played Fred and George Weasley, and Matthew Lewis, who played Neville Longbottom. They have all shared heartfelt tributes to Robbie on social media, reminiscing about how Watson wrote, "Shared some flashback photos with Coltrane from the good 'old Harry Potter days," There was no better Hagrid. You made it a joy to be Hermione," and Felton wrote, "He was a big friendly giant on screen but even more so In real life. Love you mate - thank you for everything xx "

The Harry Potter cast honored Robbie Coltrane

Emma Watson

"Rest In Peace, Robbie Coltrane. 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 it made sense he played a giant - he could fill ANY space with his brilliance. Robbie, if I ever get to be so kind as you were to me 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. There was no better Hagrid. You made it a joy to be Hermione."

"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. He was a big friendly giant on screen but even more so In real life. Love you mate - thank you for everything xx "

Bonnie Wright

"Heartbroken by the passing of Robbie Coltrane. Hagrid was my favourite character! Robbie portrayed Hagrid's warmth, sense of home and unconditional love for his students and magical creatures so brilliantly. Robbie always treated me and my fellow cast mates when we were wee kids like equal professionals on a film set. A type of attitude that instilled confidence and a sense of togetherness. Thanks for all the laughter. Miss you Robbie. Sending love to your family. Rest In Peace."

"Robbie. Bobser. He called me Space Boy. We shared a love of the final frontier. He didn't give a fuck and it always made you smile. A giant, in more ways than one. We had some times x"

There was no better Hagrid, as Emma Watson so eloquently put it. Coltrane, please rest in peace.

Robbie Coltrane is also remembered by Harry Potter fans worldwide, with many of them sharing this moving passage from the 20th-anniversary film: Going back to Hogwarts "These films will leave a legacy in that they will be viewed by the children of my children's generation. You may easily be viewing them in 50 years. Hagrid will be present tragically, but I won't."
