Earlier this year, Robbie Coltrane opened up about the close relationship that he had with the young Harry Potter actors, saying watching them grow was like watching his own children grow up.
Kind tributes are pouring in following the sad news that Robbie has passed away aged 72. The Scots actor most notably portrayed the legendary role of Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter film series.
In 2001 just before the first film was released, Coltrane spoke about the special bond that he formed with his young co-stars, in particular, a 12-year-old Daniel Radcliffe.
