Death Certificate Reveals 6 Contributing Causes in Beloved “Harry Potter” Actor’s Passing
The cause of death has been revealed following the passing of a well-known and beloved actor from Universal’s Harry Potter film series.
On October 14, the world bid a final farewell to Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane, born Anthony Robert McMillan, an actor and comedian who earned global recognition for his role as Professor Rubeus Hagrid, the half-giant, half-human “keeper of keys” at Hogwarts, in the Harry Potter franchise. The actor died at Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert, Scotland. He was 72 years old.
Fans of the film series, as well as Coltrane’s co-stars, mourned the loss of Coltrane and have shared their grief via online posts.
“Heartbroken to hear that Robbie is gone,” wrote Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley in the films, via Instagram. “I’ll never forget the smell of cigars and beard glue–a wonderful combination. No one else on this planet could [have] played Hagrid, only Robbie.”
Actor Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter, shared a remembrance of Coltrane during an interview, saying:
“Robbie was one of the funniest people I’ve met and used to keep us laughing constantly as kids on the set. “I’ve especially fond memories of him keeping our spirits up on [Harry Potter film] ‘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.”
Actor Tom Felton and actress Emma Watson also shared their sentiments following Coltrane’s death.
