A few days ago the world of cinema had a great loss. Robbie Coltrane died last Friday at the age of 72 in a hospital in Scotland. Thus, Harry Potter author JK Rowling and lead actor Daniel Radcliffe paid tribute to the late actor. In fact, the emotional text, which the writer posted on Twitter, was accompanied by a touching image of them together, Rowling described the late actor as "completely unique." "I'll never know anyone remotely like Robbie again. He was an incredible talent, a complete one off, and I was beyond fortunate to know him, work with him and laugh my head off with him. I send my love and deepest condolences to his family, above all his children."

In addition, the star of the saga, Daniel Radcliffe, also dedicated some nice words and praised him, recalling their good times together in a statement: "Robbie was one of the funniest people I've ever met and used to make us laugh constantly when we were kids on set. I have especially fond memories of him keeping our spirits up on 'The Prisoner of Azkaban,' when we would all hide from the pouring rain for hours in Hagrid's hut and he would tell stories and joke around to keep our spirits up."

Harry Potter TV show on Max is set to debut in 2026.

"I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to know and work with him and very sad that he passed away. He was an incredible actor and a lovely man," the young actor wrote. Coltrane's agent, Belinda Wright, was on hand to announce his death, describing the late actor as a "unique talent": "Please respect the privacy of Robbie's family at this distressing time. My client and friend Robbie Coltrane passed away on Friday, October 14."
