Last night, the actor who plays Rubeus Hagrid in the Potter films was interviewed on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. The big Potter fan that Ross is, he had to ask lots of questions about Potter. Coltrane revealed that principal photography has finished on Half-Blood Prince, so now all that's left is editing and CGI. He also spoke about the secrets of being turned into Hagrid, where he mentions that "sadly" they don't need to bulk him up for the role. We have a high quality video of Coltrane talking all about Potter. View it here on YouTube!

In a new interview with BBC News, actor Robbie Coltrane (Rubeus Hagrid) discusses the upcoming two-part finale to the Harry Potter movie franchise and what he has been doing to pass the time. "I'm actually producing these days. I've got three things on the go. I'm trying to knock one of them out before we start filming Potter seven in February. There's going to be downtime between film one and two. You know, they're shooting it in two parts, so there'll be a week or two in the middle." Additionally, Coltrane sat down with Empire Online in a new video interview where he talks about, amongst other things, the flying motorbike scene in Deathly Hallows.

They quite literally give a hand, as Potter author JK Rowling and Hagrid actor Robbie Coltrane are among many celebrities contributing to the 'Give Tilly A Hand' charity auction. Said auction is to benefit a little girl named Tilly Lockey, who had to have her hands and feet amputated after contracting metengitis. Each celebrity designed their own handprint. JK Rowling drew several Potter-related items on each of her fingers (see photo), and Robbie Coltrane filled his in with green patterns. See all of the celebrity handprints at this link. The auction will be held September 5th. To see more details, click here. Thanks to Claire for the tip!

Universal has released a photo of Potter stars Robbie Coltrane, Emma Watson, Matthew Lewis, and James and Oliver Phelps visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park!
