Coltrane’s agent Belinda Wright released a statement about his death, which described him as, “a wonderful actor, he was forensically intelligent, brilliantly witty.”

The Scottish actor won everyone’s hearts with his portrayal of the young wizard Harry Potter’s mentor and fierce friend, Hagrid. His quirks are also etched in our memory.

According to Wright, Coltrane as Hagrid "brought joy to children and adults alike all over the world".

Coltrane’s acting credits also include the drama ‘Cracker’ and the James Bond films ‘Goldeneye’ and ‘The World Is Not Enough’. He will surely be missed!
