| | | JK Rowling comments on Hagrid and Robbie Coltrane for ITV Special JK Rowling is among those who have been interviewed for a special to be broadcast on ITV about actor Robbie Coltrane. Robbie will be a guest for an in-depth interview on the South Bank Show where the actor discusses depression, fame, working with actress Emma Thompson (Trelawney) and the impact she had on his career, as well as commenting on his role as Hagrid.
JK is interviewed for this special and she talks about the casting of Robbie Coltrane for the part of the Hogwart's groundskeeper.
In a special online preview Jo is quoted by the Manchester Evening News as saying: Quote:
When we came to the point where there was even a possibility of Hagrid appearing on screen, I do remember thinking, 'Well, that's Robbie Coltrane.'
Quote:
Hagrid is very lovable but he must, if he's to be plausible, have a centre of menace as well.
The South Bank Show will air tonight on ITV1 at 11:10pm in the UK and features comments from Emma Thompson as well as those from JK mentioned above.

Robbie is brilliant and perfect for the role. I noticed that he has done a new series of Cracker too.

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |
