Robbie Coltrane, the Scottish actor best known for playing Hagrid in the Harry Potter film series died on Friday (14 October). He was 72.
Last year, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Harry Potter franchise, Coltrane gave an interview in which he reflected both on the experience of making the films and their enduring legacy.
“The legacy of the movies is that my children’s generation will show them to their children,” he said in an HBO special filmed last year. “So you could be watching it in 50 years time, easy.”
“I’ll not be here, sadly...” he said, trailing off with a chuckle. “But Hagrid will. Yes.”
Elsewhere on the HBO special, Coltrane spoke about what it felt like to hang up the half-giant Hagrid’s oversized coat after a decade playing the affectionate Hogwarts gamekeeper.
“I just think it’s the end of an era,” he said in the resurfaced clip.

Robbie Coltrane, who played the lovable half-giant Rubeus Hagrid in the “Harry Potter” franchise, has died, his agency WME confirmed to Variety on Friday. He was 72.
Coltrane featured in every “Harry Potter” movie, from “Sorcerer’s Stone” in 2001 to “Death Hallows -Part 2” in 2011, and was much beloved for bringing the character from J.K. Rowling’s book series to life. He was among one of the first characters to appear on screen, and he recited the famous line, “Yer a wizard, Harry,” to a young Daniel Radcliffe as he embarked on his journey into the wizarding world.
