Daniel Radcliffe Pays Tribute to Harry Potter Co-Star Robbie Coltrane

Harry Potter series star Daniel Radcliffe issued a statement regarding the passing of acclaimed actor Robbie Coltrane earlier today.

Having acted alongside Coltrane since childhood, Radcliffe reminisced on fond memories he shared with the late actor.

“Robbie was one of the funniest people I’ve met and used to keep us laughing constantly as kids on the set,” Radcliffe said in his statement. “I’ve especially fond memories of him keeping our spirits up on 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.”

Coltrane was 72 at the time of his passing and was best known for his roles in Harry Poter, GoldenEye, The World is Not Enough, and Crackers.
