He most recently starred in the 2016 miniseries "National Treasure". Besides "Harry Potter", Coltrane was known for his performance in the 1990s British TV detective series "Cracker", for which he won best actor at the British Academy Television Awards three years in a row. The actor was in his early 20s when he began pursuing an acting career and renamed himself in honour of jazz musician John Coltrane. Coltrane, whose real name was Anthony Robert McMillan in Rutherglen, Scotland, recently reunited with the cast and crew of "Harry Potter" during the filming of the "Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts" to celebrate the anniversary of the franchise's first film. "I'll never forget in September 2000, Robbie Coltrane came over to a very nervous 14yr old me on my 1st ever day on a movie set and said 'enjoy it, you'll be great.' Thank you for that," James said in a tweet. James played Fred Weasley in the "Harry Potter" film series from 2001 to 2011, alongside his twin brother, Oliver Phelps who starred as George Weasley. James Phelps said he would miss the random chats about all subjects under the sun with the multifaceted Coltrane. "Hagrid was my favourite character! Robbie portrayed Hagrid's warmth, sense of home & unconditional love for his students and magical creatures so brilliantly. Bonnie Wright, best known for playing Ginny Weasley, said she was "heartbroken" by Coltrane's passing. Love you mate - thank you for everything," he tweeted. He was a big friendly giant on screen but even more so In real life. "Robbie cared & looked after everyone around him. Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in "Harry Potter" movies, recounted one of his fondest memories of filming for a night shoot on the first film "The Philosopher's Stone" in the Forbidden Forest when he was just 12. Coltrane is survived by his sister Annie Rae, his ex-wife Rhona Gemmell and his children Spencer and Alice. I send my love and deepest condolences to his family, above all his children," Rowling wrote on Twitter. ![]() I was beyond fortunate to know him, work with him and laugh my head off with him. ![]() "I'll never know anyone remotely like Robbie again. J K Rowling, creator of "Harry Potter" books on which the films are based, said the Scottish actor was "an incredible talent and a complete one off". You made it a joy to be Hermione," Watson added. "I'll really miss your sweetness, your nicknames, your warmth, your laughs and your hugs. "Robbie, if I ever get to be so kind as you were to me on a film set I promise I'll do it in your name and memory.
