RIP Robbie Coltrane

[girlmom21]

What a huge loss to the entertainment industry a massive part of my childhood with the Harry Potter franchise.

Gone far too soon 🙁

Loved Cracker
And yes spectacles testicles
He did make Hagrid totally believable.
Such sad news. A great actor.

Yes for me too!

Oh no! I feel really sad about this I loved Robbie Coltrane

Aw no! 😥 Huge Harry Potter fan and loved him as Hagrid 😥💔 RIP

Really sad. Loved him in Tutti Frutti with Emma Thompson and Richard Wilson (amongst others) and then in Cracker. Always completely watchable

I watched Tutti Frutti at school, Cracker at uni and Hagrid with my kids.

Bloody love Robbie Coltrane. Same age and from the same city as my Dad.

Yes!

I want to rewatch Cracker now, no idea how it would stand up to modern sensibilities, will it be on a streaming service do you think? I have Nuns on the Run I think (probably on video or stone tablet).

72 feels too young.

Oh that's sad. Loved him. 72 though is a reasonable age though.

I'm old enough but didn't watch Cracker, so for me Robbie Coltrane is Hagrid. He was perfect in the role.

In the 25th anniversary show he commented that he wouldn't be around forever (talking about The films being around trill in 50 years) but Hagrid would be.

Saddened both me and DD

Spectacles, testicles, wallet & watch
See, I've heard of that quote, and people using it in RL, didn't know it was a Robbie Coltrane one though! 🙂

very sad
he was great in Cracker

and of course an icon as Hagrid

Absolute legend. An astounding actor.

RIP Sir.

You were not just Cracker in this house. You were a cracker.

I loved him in Cracker and Harry Potter. JKR picked him herself for the role of Hagrid.

This is what he said on the 20th anniversary special about Harry Potter . The legend will always live on.

Absolutely love his Dr Johnson in Black Adder. Seen it heaps of times. But still makes me fry with laughter. RIP

The scenes with Robert Carlisle in Cracker are fucking amazing.

We used to watch it as a group at uni and anyone who talked got thrown out. Imagine that? Imagine remembering the details of how you watched a programme over 25 years ago? Such was Cracker.

I used to work in TV many lifetimes ago in the early 90s and Robbie Coltrane was a guest on a show I was a Runner for. He was the sweetest, most friendly man. There was no side to him, no 'big I am' and he treated everybody the same - whether director or lowly runner like me.
Very sad - Cracker was brilliant.

Oh, so sad. Loved him in Cracker.

I love this. Thank you ❤️

Feeling my age that its Cracker not HP that comes to mind. Such sad news 😞

20th not 25th!

So very sad to hear of the great man’s passing.
Not a fan of HP, but enjoyed watching him in ‘From Hell’ with Johnny D, and was absolutely gripped by ‘National Treasure’
Rest in Eternal Peace.

I’ve enjoyed his performances in all that he’s done. This is the role that made him known and loved world wide.

It was repeated on BBC Scotland, IIRC.

I spoke to Robbie Coltrane many moons ago for work stuff, he was very nice.

A sad loss.

RIP❤😥
