| | |  Robbie Coltrane talks Hagrid inspiration
In a new interview with The Daily Record Robbie Coltrane mentions the inspiration for his portrayal of Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter films. Quote:
Of course JK Rowling had Robbie in mind to play Hagrid which Robbie reveals is based on a Hell's Angel from England.
He revealed: "He used to get off of his Harley and walk towards the bar. People would move like ants out of his way. He would grab his pint, find a seat and say: 'I don't know about you, but the petunias this year are very bad.'
"He was a gardener but he had fists like hams. He had a gentle heart.
"When we started talking about it, JK and I talked for three hours. She told me all about Hagrid's past, so I felt very confident about the part."
Robbie also spoke about his kids, his career and being proud of his nationality. Including this nifty quote;
"But sometimes people say England when they mean Britain and I don't agree with that."
The full interview can be read here.

Who in the world couldn't LOVE Robbie Coltrane?!! His commitment to a normal life for himself and his children is admirable.

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. | |
