All these years later Laurie posted about his fond memories with Coltrane by way of this sweet story on Twitter:
I hope it’It’s okay to share some memories. Robbie Coltrane used to ride between Manchester and London in his restored MGA. I’d roll him cigarettes while he discoursed on the ways of the world, and I don’t think I’ve ever laughed or learned so much in my life.October 14, 2022
Laurie and the actor were both 9 years old. It makes sense that Laurie had so much fun listening to him explain things. “ways of the world.”These stories are a testament to how beloved Coltrane was among his fellow actors.

Hagrid is one of the most beloved characters from the franchise, and he’s lived on for the last 20 years, and as Coltrane said, will likely live on forever. I have fond memories of Hagrid’s words. “Yer a wizard, Harry”whether he’s crying with him about his creatures being taken, or for the first. I remember Hagrid taking Harry out from the woods. Deathly HallowsI will always be there for you.
Coltrane, much like Hagrid will always be close to our hearts. Based on all the love and stories that have surfaced over the last day and throughout his life, it’s clear to me that this gentle giant will always be remembered fondly. It’s stories like Hugh Laurie’s that warm my heart, and even though this is a sad time, it’s lovely to see all this love for Coltrane.
