Daniel Radcliffe and many of his castmates spent a decade working alongside Robbie Coltrane, growing into adulthood during the course of their time in the wizarding world. In a statement shared by Variety, Radcliffe reminisced about how Coltrane brightened their moods while filming the 2004 movie “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.” Apparently, the less-than-ideal filming conditions were almost as bleak as its titular setting. Luckily, while heavy rainfall halted filming for long stretches of time, Radcliffe and some of his co-stars ended up trapped inside the cozy hut that Hogwarts’ Care of Magical Creatures teacher, Rubeus Hagrid, called home in the movies. “He was telling stories and cracking jokes to keep morale up,” Radcliffe said of Coltrane. “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.”
Per IMDb, The last project Coltrane worked on was the “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts” special, which was released earlier this year. In the HBO Max documentary, Coltrane shares some thoughts about his time as Hagrid that will be sure to hurt a few hearts now. “The legacy of the movies is that my children’s generation will show them to their children, so you could be watching it in 50 years’ time, easy,” he says. “I’ll not be here sadly, but Hagrid will.”
