Robbie Coltrane has died.

To let you all know. RIP our HAGRID.

Awww, how sad. 😢 Lovely man, amazing actor, and in SO much good stuff. CRACKER was EPIC! He was so good in that! And he was funny The Young Ones, and also Blackadder. And obviously, he was amazing in Harry Potter 'I shouldna told ya thaaat....' 😘

@NashvilleQueen

Loved him in Cracker. He gave the overweight, chain smoking, whisky drinking, gambling, smart arse genius massive sex appeal. With any other actor you wouldn't have bought that women really fancied him but it totally worked. A sad loss.

What a GREAT description of that character! Spot on. I have the box set of all the seasons of Cracker. Gonna go get it, and watch it. Haven't seen it for about a decade. It was amazing!

Nuns on the run was bonkers , but fun
Tutti fruiti was brilliant

So sad. I don’t think of him for Harry Potter as I have never watched the films. For me he is Cracker

i used to watch for a local newspaper and they came and used our offices for the police station set at one point. Many decades ago but I still remember the buzz

Glad other people remember Tutti Frutti, great series and fab soundtrack.

Gosh-no age at all.

Loved Cracker-RC, Christopher Eccleston, Robert Carlyle, Lorcan Cranitch.

Tough watch!

I absolutely loved Tutti Frutti. Would love to see it again. May he RIP. I think he'd been unwell for some time. My thoughts are with his family.

Fine actor. Great in HP of course but very very good in Cracker too.

Have to disagree! Whilst it's sad he has gone, 72 is hardly 'no age at all.'

So sad, as others are saying, 72 is no age these days. Loved him in tutti frutti and as Hagrid, need to check out Cracker.
RIP Robbie 😢

Depends how old you are. It doesn’t feel very old to me.

So sad, he was such an amazing actor.

Very sad news. Totally loved him in Tutti Frutti. I think part of my attraction to my DP was his similarity to Robbie Coltrane (v. funny, big Scotsman).

Had forgotten about his sublime role as Dr Johnson in Blackadder; such a versatile actor, and his passing is very sad.

Incredibly sad news. Just read about it earlier.

So sad. Loved Cracker and have been meaning to rewatch it for ages. Fabulous as Hagrid too. Met him in many moons ago when he was filming on my home town. He was lovely, so warm and funny and scrounging cigarettes from me and my sisters.

Saw him again a few years back at Mahon airport in Menorca of all places. He didn’t look to be in great health.

Genuinely sad. He was a great talent and on my limited knowledge of him a really
lovely man.

😢 RIP Robbie, fantastic actor.

Oh no that's so sad he was an amazing actor

RIP 💐

To Be Someone, hard hitting and probably the best Cracker episode ever, remember discussing it at work the following day .

I'd forgotten he was Daphne's brother in Frazier.

Certainly going to be missed RIP

So sad.

@TurmericFan 😂😂 I'd like to think that Robbie would have found that funny.

so sad, top actor 😢
loved him in black adder 3 ….Sausage!!!!

Such a shame. Cracker was brilliant. Probably the best British cop show ever made. Really underrated. Cracker is the only British crime thriller I’d put up against the great scandi ones.

Have to disagree! Whilst it's sad he has gone, 72 is hardly 'no age at all.'

It's barely past retirement!

We're definitely planning to dig out a Cracker DVD and perhaps have a dram in celebration of the way he took us through from crime/comedy/Bond/HP.
