In his new memoir, Tom Felton discusses the lessons he learned from the generous and sympathetic Robbie Coltrane.

Coltrane, who died Friday at the age of 72, was remembered by Felton in the book published Tuesday as “one of the few actors I knew when we started making the Potter movies” for his appearance. his in GoldenEye and Cracker.

He is a joker but also a target for other people’s jokes. Felton, 35, writes about Coltrane, who portrayed Rubeus Hagrid, the kindhearted, half-giant guard of the keys and base at Hogwarts, whom Felton’s Draco Malfoy repeatedly mocks in the film.

Felton recalls a time when he and franchise star Daniel Radcliffe would port people’s phone settings to other languages, making it difficult to revert to the English language.

According to what the author had to say, Robbie was definitely the highlight of that joke more than that because of the fact that his reaction to it was very pleasant. He’ll pull his eyebrows together, look around, and say, “What did that?” He gives the impression that he’s prepared to kill the person responsible, but in reality, he’s just getting the hang of things.

According to Felton, the thoughtful and kind Coltrane passed on many important life lessons to young actors, including Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

According to what he said, Robbie is constantly eager to remind us that we are not there to cure cancer. We did not prevent the end of the planet. We were just making a movie at the time. We need to keep this in mind, avoid making a big deal out of it, and keep a sense of humor about the situation.

According to Felton, he possesses a significant portion of Hagrid’s personality, characterized him as a kind and generous giant, always focused on what is truly essential in life.
