“Rest In Peace, Robbie Coltrane,” Watson wrote in an Instagram Story. “Robbie was like the most fun uncle I’ve ever had but most of all he was deeply caring and compassionate towards me as an adult. His talent was so immense it made sense he played a giant—he could fill ANY space with his brilliance.”
She continued, “Robbie, if I ever get to be so kind as you were to me on a film set I promise I’ll do it in your name and memory. Know how much I adore and admire you. I’ll really miss your sweetness, your nicknames, your warmth, your laughs and your hugs. You made us a family. Know you were that to us.”
She concluded her statement with a white heart emoji, writing, “There was no better Hagrid. You made it a joy to be Hermione.”

“Robbie. Bobser. He called me Space Boy. We shared a love of the final frontier. He didn’t give a fuck and it always made you smile,” the actor, who starred as Neville Longbottom in the franchise, tweeted. “A giant, in more ways than one. We had some times x.”

“I will miss the random chats about all subjects under the sun,” the actor who played Fred Weasley wrote on Twitter. “And I’ll never forget in September 2000, Robbie Coltrane came over to a very nervous 14yr old me on my 1st ever day on a movie set and said, ‘Enjoy it, you’ll be great.’ Thank you for that x.”
