Robbie brilliantly portrayed the warmth of Hagrid, feeling at home and unconditional love for his students and magical creatures. Even when we were kids, Robbie always treated me and my colleagues as equal professionals. You know, this attitude which instills confidence and a sense of togetherness. Thanks for all this laugh. I miss you Robbie. Sending rays of love to your family. rest with the world
