Robbie Coltrane
The gigantic but lovable Hagrid was played by Robbie Coltrane, one of England’s finest actors. Before landing the role of the gentle giant, Coltrane appeared in movies such as ‘Flash Gordon’, ‘GoldenEye’, and ‘From Hell.’ Coltrane was Rowling’s first choice for the role of Hagrid, and her dream came true as Coltrane stayed true to the series from start to finish. Currently, Coltrane still graces small and big British screens. He recently appeared in the movie ‘Effie Gray’ and the miniseries ‘National Treasure’.
