It’s sad to realise and hear things like this. When actors pass away, growing up becomes especially poignant. Many people, including myself, have fond childhood memories of Harry Potter, and sometimes it’s wild to realise that all those kids from the film are all grown up now, and some of the actors are no longer alive…
I am friends with his son. It was very difficult for him having to share his dad with so many other people in life and in death.
The gentlest giant there ever was
Robbie, it turns out you’re actually a wizard.
The first scene of Philosopher‘s stone hits different now with Richard Harris, Robbie Coltrane and Maggie Smith all gone now 🙁
I miss you Hagrid/Valentine…00Wizard
I guess all that there is left to say is ‘cheery-bye’. “Cheery-bye!”
As a fan of the universe it saddens me to see an era slowly passing away
He links both my child’s early years and my teenage years being the voice of the Gruffalo and of course being Hagrid!
It’s wild how I live twenty miles away from where he stayed and I only heard about his passing through reddit
It’s why I always wanted to create art. You may pass, but your art will inspire for generations
I hope the new TV show rendition of Harry Potter honor the original actors in some way. They all hold such a special place in my heart <3
All of them will remain alive in our memories because of their amazing work and the cinema they recreated!
Dude understood the role from day 1.
Not the job he got, or the directions from producers etc.
He knew that his job was to be a kind man to a generation of kids. A good example.
I’ll never forget you😭

Wow, this hurts in unexpected ways.
With each passing year more and more realize hidden meanings
My potterhead heart <3333
Why you gotta hit me now
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT TO ME AGAIN!?!?!
Who’s cutting onions over here damnit?!?!?!
Aye… Robbie will always be my Hagrid but the next generation will have another actor as their own since they’re going to reboot the books as a series.
In a few years, as a new movie and then as a new “based on the movies based on the series” book series and then the cycle will repeat.
This hit harder than expected. Hagrid will always feel like home. Rest easy, legend.
Hagrid’s memory will live on, giant-sized forever.
This part hit so hard especially after he died 😢
That makes me cry everytime…
I wondered if I had some deja vu moment since I remember reading the news of his passing and thought just now that it was me imagining that and he passed on recently and that’s why this post. 😐
