Today, Tuesday March 30th, marks actor Robbie Coltrane's birthday. Robbie, who turns 60 years old today, is best known for playing the Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts, and Care of Magical Creatures professor, Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter films.

An interesting tidbit about Robbie's casting - did you know that J.K. Rowling specifically asked for Robbie to play Hagrid in the movies? It was the only casting decision she made before the films began production.

Happy Birthday, Robbie!
