Hagrid is played by Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane

Rubeus Hagrid is as much as twice as tall as the average man. He loves magical creatures, particularly unusual or even dangerous ones although he usually insists most of them are only dangerous due to a handler's disrespect or ignorance. J. K. Rowling has said that Rubeus Hagrid has little interest in tame magical creatures because of the lack of a challenge, although he has a cowardly boarhound called Fang. He befriends Harry Potter and his friends and looks out for them. His friends do the same for him. He is one of the first characters to imply that the idea of thinking of wizards as "pure-bloods" and "half-bloods" is a dated concept. Rubeus Hagrid is known for his friendliness, and thick accent.

In the movies based on the Harry Potter novels, Hagrid is played by Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane, and in some shots where Hagrid's height needs to be emphasised, former England rugby player Martin Bayfield. Rubeus Hagrid
