LONDON — Robbie Coltrane, the baby-faced comedian and character actor whose hundreds of roles included a crime-solving psychologist on the TV series "Cracker" and the gentle half-giant Hagrid in the "Harry Potter" movies, has died. He was 72.
Coltrane's agent Belinda Wright said he died Friday at a hospital in his native Scotland, and but did not immediately offer other details. She called him "forensically intelligent" and "brilliantly witty" in just one of many tributes made to him.
