“Robbie is one of the funniest people I’ve ever met and always made us laugh as kids on set. I have fond memories of him keeping our spirits up for the Prisoner of Azkaban, when we were all hiding from the pouring rain for hours in Hagrid’s hut and he told stories and jokes to keep our spirits up,” he said. “I feel very lucky to have met and worked with him and very sad that he has passed away. He is an amazing actor and a beautiful man.”

“Just like Hagrid in the books and movies Robbie in life – warm, compassionate and funny. A man with a giant heart who still watches over us even decades later,” he continued. “Conveying love to his family. See you on the other side of Bobser.”
