Actor Robbie Coltrane, who was best known for his role of Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter film series, has died. Coltrane’s portrayal of Hagrid has cemented him as a legendary actor; Hagrid is one of the most beloved characters in the Harry Potter fandom.
Hagrid is also a popular meme subject, a lot of memes have honoured Hagrid’s character in a funny way. Here’s a look at the most memorable memes in honour of actor Robbie Coltrane.
A series of bizarre events happen to Harry, then all of the sudden a giant man with a huge beard appears and tells him that he is a wizard. Harry, not being the best decision maker, given that he was a child at the time, decides to go with Hagrid. Surely, this one event changes Harry’s life in a way even he did not imagine it to be, but would that be the wisest decision in a non-wizarding, crime ridden world? Perhaps not.
‘Your personality is important, not your looks’ is an age old adage, and while everyone seems to be too fixated on this, this meme gives you a new perspective a new perspective to what dating would mean in the wizarding world. Surely, you become cooler if you have an innate ability to fly stuff, or disappear using an old robe, but there is no competition against Hagrid’s kind disposition.
We all can admit to saying stuff that we should not have in front of young children. It might just be a cuss word due to slip of the tongue, or you might have blurted out someone’s secret, and children being children, tell it to everyone while wearing innocence on their sleeves. It’s hard for little kids to keep secrets, even though they might not understand, they make sure that everyone else around them does.
Hagrid’s kind disposition might not be a saving grace for his PS1 version. This version looks grumpy, unbothered but sadly, all too relatable. Netizens would not leave this opportunity of generating a relatable meme, and hence we have this masterpiece. We relate PS 1 Hagrid, we all do.
Hagrid’s search history would definitely feature how to talk to various animals, and who knows, he might also have a youtube channel on such tutorials. Either way, we will surely enjoy watching Hagrid pointlessly talking to animals in a non wizarding world, because to be honest, his humour is enough to entertain us.
