Months before he took his last breath, Robbie Coltrane openly discussed his death.
Speaking in a confessional on Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts, Coltrane confessed: “It’s the end of an era. Ten years of my life. My children have grown up during it, of course.”
With teary eyes, Coltrane continued: “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, easily… I’ll not be here, sadly… but Hagrid will, yes.”
Thank you Robbie Coltrane for leaving us with Hagrid forever, you were a treasure.
