Actor Robbie Coltrane, best known for playing Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter films, died in Scotland on Friday. He was 72.

“For me personally I shall remember him as an abidingly loyal client. As well as being a wonderful actor, he was forensically intelligent, brilliantly witty and after 40 years of being proud to be called his agent, I shall miss him,” his agent Belinda Wright said in a statement. 

“He is survived by his sister Annie Rae, his children Spencer and Alice and their mother Rhona Gemmell. They would like to thank the medical staff at Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert for their care and diplomacy. Please respect Robbie’s family’s privacy at this distressing time,” she added. 

The actor played a Russian crime boss in the James Bond thrillers “GoldenEye” and “The World is Not Enough.”

He also received critical acclaim for playing a beloved TV star who may harbor a dark secret in the 2016 miniseries “National Treasure.”

Coltrane is, however, best remembered for playing gentle half-giant Hagrid, a mentor to the boy wizard Harry Potter, in all eight Harry Potter films, released between 2001 and 2011.
