Yesterday evening Harry Potter author JK Rowling appeared in a video that was shown on the South Bank Show, which had a feature on Robbie Coltrane. The video opens with Robbie discussing his astonishment of the fans love for his character, scenes from the films and JKR discussing why Robbie was Hagrid. Emma Thompson also makes an appearance.
You can watch the video here

Nice to see a Jo video. Robbie Coltraine is the best Hagrid ever, he is brilliant in the films & I couldn't have imagined a better potrayal myself. & I loved the 1st film clips, how refreshing. The kids were so cute.

that's cool, i agree with JKR, hagrid has to have some sort of anger and emotion to him other then, loveable guy. even though he is quiet loveable.

Wow, I will most definitely watch that when I get home. This computer doesn't have sound on it. :(
Personally, I don't like Hagrid's character, but I do love Robbie Coltrane. He is a fantastic actor.

I dont think anybody else but him would make a good Hagrid really. He really has got the art down to a T. The video worked for me but it took ages to load. It was worth it though.

I think it's touching that Robbie Coltrane is so astonished about people's love for Hagrid and his portrayal of the character. Robbie Coltrane is perfectly cast in this role and has done an amazing job.

I don't think anyone else could have made a better hagrid, Robbie was perfect for the part and i hope he stays on until the end of the series of films!!
Thanks for the video, going to go watch it now!
P.S. Therin Ennui - Robbie has been in quite a few things - including:
Goldeneye
Nuns on the Run
Cracker
Black Adder
From Hell
Van Helsing
Ocean's 12
And that's just the short list hee hee hee!

Patronus**, not a single one of those is what I was thinking of. But I did find it! He was in three episodes of "The Young Ones."
