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."

Yea I see the Hell's Angel thing now that I think about it.

mrs_random_cheese 07-20-2006 10:44 AM

Lol, I'm English and I hate it when people refer to Britain as England-there are two other countries involved!
Go Robbie, I love the character detail he has; he really knows who Hagrid is and I can't imagine a better person for him.

Eclipsed 07-20-2006 12:35 PM

Aww, that's so sweet of him! :D

Nice interview...he's great with his role, I think no one could portray Hagrid, he's Great!

[the.time.turner] 07-21-2006 06:18 PM

What a great article. I love that Robbie loves his children and his country so much that he thinks about them when making decisions. He's a perfect Hagrid and I'm glad to know that Jo had him in mind for the role.

ezzer123 07-21-2006 09:38 PM

That's great! He is a perfect Hagrid ♥

He seems like a really genuine sweet guy doesn't he. Loves his kids loads and everything! :loved:

Good Interview, Emma!

Ginpotter 07-27-2006 08:35 AM

It doesn't matter so much if we called Britian England..Not a problem, is it??

Fortune_Cookie 08-01-2006 07:21 AM

Aww, that's so endearing. ^_^ Okay, don't ask. I just think he played a really good Hagrid.

Chocolate Frog 09-06-2006 04:06 PM

An awesome interview that Robbie did.

One_Less_Then_Molly 09-06-2006 04:19 PM

I love Robbie! He's such a spectacular Hagrid, I can fully see the Hell's Angel Harley riding Hagrid scheme. *hehe* I think one of my favorite movies he did was with Eric Idle (Monty Python fame), Nuns on the Run. That movie was a riot!! :rotfl:
