Emma Watson honors Robbie Coltrane: 'You made it a joy to be Hermione'

Emma Watson was among several "Harry Potter" cast members who paid tribute this weekend to their beloved co-star Robbie Coltrane, who died Friday at age 72.

On her Instagram story, Watson shared a sweet photo of her and Coltrane catching up while filming HBO Max's "Harry Potter" reunion special last year. In the fantasy films, Watson played brilliant young witch Hermione Granger while Coltrane portrayed gentle half-giant wizard Rubeus Hagrid.

"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," wrote Watson, who was 11 when the first "Harry Potter" film hit theaters in 2001.
