Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane known for his role as Rubeus Hagrid in Harry Potter has passed away at the age of 72, his agent confirmed. He had been in ill health for the past two years.

Daniel was among the first to pay tribute and issued a statement on his passing (source: Variety).

Update: The statement is now also online on his official website.

"Robbie was one of the funniest people I’ve met and used to keep us laughing constantly as kids on the set. I’ve especially fond memories of him keeping our spirits up on Prisoner of Azkaban, when we were all hiding from the torrential rain for hours in Hagrid’s hut and he was telling stories and cracking jokes to keep morale up. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to meet and work with him and very sad that he’s passed. He was an incredible actor and a lovely man."

-Dan

The actor attended the HBO Max original Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts reunion amongst other cast members in December 2021. The TV special was released in January 2022.

BFI hosted the event Madly, Deeply: A celebration of Alan Rickman to remember his life and work before the launch of his diaries called Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman on 4th October 2022. Back in September The Guardian published a preview, and Daniel was also mentioned in it.

2 May
8.40am pick-up Corridor with Dan Radcliffe. He’s so concentrated now. Serious and focused – but with a sense of fun. I still don’t think he’s really an actor but he will undoubtedly direct/produce. And he has such quiet, dignified support from his parents. Nothing is pushed.

During the event at BFI Southbank, which took place yesterday, a video message from Daniel was shown. There is no footage online only a photo.
