“I’ll never forget the smell of cigars and beard glue- a wonderful combination.
No one else on this planet could of played Hagrid, only Robbie,” he wrote.

“Just as Hagrid was in the books and films Robbie was in life- warm, compassionate and hilarious. A giant hearted man who was still looking out for us even decades later. Sending love to his family. See you on the other side Bobser,” Rupert finished his message.
