Robbie Coltrane, who portrays Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies, visited the U.S. earlier this week to promote his next venture. Coltrane was in the U.S. promoting Cracker: A New Terror at the 2006 Summer Television Critics Association Press Tour, took about 10 seconds to decide to recreate his role as Fitz, even though it had been a decade since the last Cracker movie.
The movie is scheduled to air in the U.S. on BBCAmerica
in October. You can view some pictures from the event here.
Of interest to Potter fans is the fact that Coltrane recently finished with his scenes for Order of the Phoenix.
Thanks to Ricky for the tip.

I'm happy to see that they finally inserted Hagrid into the fifth movie! An Harry Potter movie without him is like the 4th film without Molly Weasley (that was the only thing missing)...

I wonder how he looks in another character. I also wonder how well some of the cast would be on broadway? Can any of them sing?

Never heard of that movie before...good to know that some of the filming is done, at least.
I wonder how much filming there is left to go...wish they'd say something about it!

Wow he's already done, well he wouldn't have that many scenes in OotP because he's out finding Grawp with Madame Maxine so I guess he should be done by now.

I'm so glad he's in the next movie! He does an excelent job in his protrayl of the loveable half-giant! I think he is one of the few actors that is actually in my imagination when I read the books.

That's really cool. Now that he's finished with his scenes, maybe some of the other extras will, too.

Wow, that seems quick. I wonder what scenes with him they kept in? I hope they kept when he ran off with Fang after Umbridge attacked him and McGonagall and when Umbridge harassed him in class.

Well, I am glad to hear he is going to appear in other films. With his talent in acting from the previous Harry Potter films, he deserves the right to be selected for other films. I admire his ability to portray Hagrid, and I hope this film will be just as good.

He is always so darn adorable! I loved him as Hagrid, very true to form and very much like the book. He's been great in other things too, although I am not sure I ever caught him in this one.
Cool!

I love Coltrane as Hagrid--I don't think he's overplayed it the way some actors might have. And, when they say that someone has finished filming there scenes, well that just means were a little bit closer to the next movie!

If he has finished his filming already?
I suppose our favourite old half-giant is only in the OotP sporadically....

I have never heard of the movie "Crackers" but then who knows. I guess I will just have to wait to see what it is about.
As for him being done with his scenes in OoTP, that must mean they have quite a bit of the filming done. This must be good news.

Of interest to Potter fans is the fact that Coltrane recently finished with his scenes for Order of the Phoenix.Not a big "Cracker" fan. Glad that he has continued to play Hagrid though. Couldn't imagine anyone else in the role now.
