| | |  Quote of the Week - Robbie Coltrane
Robbie Coltrane, who was personally handpicked by J.K. Rowling to play Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter films, recently spoke about whether he believed the series would be as huge as it is now, and if he gets recognised on the street by young fans.  Quote: Why do you think the Harry Potter film franchise has been so hugely successful?
“There is so much in the books and films. People always ask me why they’re so popular, and it’s because JK Rowling has very carefully not made them fashionable or trendy. No one is playing on the Wii or listening to an iPod. The stories are about friendship and trying to be true to yourself and be popular – the stuff we all go through as teenagers.”
Do Harry Potter fans approach you in the street?
“Because I’m bearded up as Hagrid, kids generally don’t recognise me. I very much appreciate that anonymity – especially when you see what happens to Alan Rickman, who plays Snape. He gets kids hissing at him in airports! But when kids do recognise me, they go all doe-eyed, which is great.”

I would be more likely to throw myself on Alan Rickman in the airport and be arrested for stalking  I've always loved him! 
Robbie Coltrane would get a huge hug from me!

Why would people hiss at Snape? Grr, if they actually read all the books.. Haha anyway, loved the quotes and I completely agree with his saying about why Potter books are so good and much liked.

Hagrid is one of my favorite characters in the books. I'd like to know more about why Rowling hand-picked Coltrane. I think he does portray him well!

I think Robbie is actually pretty easily recognizable, but I suppose that's just me. I would totally hug him if he let me!
