Robbie Coltrane, the veteran Scottish actor who gained worldwide acclaim as Rubeus Hagrid in the "Harry Potter" film series, died Friday. He was 72.
Coltrane’s agent, Belinda Wright, said in an email that he died at a hospital in Scotland. She did not give a cause of death.
Born Anthony Robert McMillan in Rutherglen, Scotland, Coltrane was in his early 20s when he began pursuing an acting career, and renamed himself in honor of jazz musician John Coltrane. He went on to appear in dozens of films and TV shows, but is perhaps known best to "Harry Potter" fans as Hagrid, the good-natured half-giant groundskeeper of Hogwarts and a mentor to Harry as he navigated the wizarding world. He appeared in all eight "Potter" films, released from 2001 to 2011.
