\tDaniel Radcliffe has issued a statement after the death of his \u201cHarry Potter\u201d co-star Robbie Coltrane, calling the late actor \u201cone of the funniest people I’ve met.\u201d Coltrane, who died at the age of 72, starred as Rubeus Hagrid in the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d movie franchise and shared dozens of scenes with Radcliffe across the films. The two actors starred together in all eight \u201cHarry Potter\u201d movies, from \u201cSorcerer’s Stone\u201d in 2001 to \u201cDeath Hallows \u2013 Part 2\u201d in 2011.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cRobbie was one of the funniest people I’ve met and used to keep us laughing constantly as kids on the set,\u201d Radcliffe’s statement reads. \u201cI’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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tWhile Coltrane will forever be known to millions as Hagrid in the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d movies, he was also a member of the James Bond franchise, having appeared in 1995’s \u201cGoldenEye\u201d and 1999’s \u201cThe World Is Not Enough.\u201d Most recently, Coltrane returned to his \u201cHarry Potter\u201d roots and appeared in HBO Max’s 20th anniversary \u201cReturn to Hogwarts\u201d reunion special along with Radcliffe and other stars like Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cThe legacy of the movies is that my children’s generation will show them to their children,\u201d Coltrane said in the special. \u201cSo you could be watching it in 50 years time, easy. I’ll not be here, sadly, but Hagrid will, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tBonnie Wright, who played Ginny Weasley in the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d films, wrote \u201cHeartbroken by the passing of Robbie Coltrane. Hagrid was my favorite character! Robbie portrayed Hagrid’s warmth, sense of home and unconditional love for his students and magical creatures so brilliantly. Thank you for the laughter. Miss you Robbie. Sending love to your family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tControversial \u201cHarry Potter\u201d author JK Rowling separately honored Coltrane with a post on Twitter, writing, \u201cI’ll never know anyone remotely like Robbie again. He was an incredible talent, a complete one off, and I was beyond fortunate to know him, work with him and laugh my head off with him. I send my love and deepest condolences to his family, above all his children. \u201d<\/p>\n
