Harry Potter and Cracker star Robbie Coltrane has died aged 72, his agent has said.
The Scottish-born actor was best known for playing Rubeus Hagrid in the wizarding world franchise.
No details have been given about the cause of his death — but his agent said Mr Coltrane's family thanked the team at Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert for their care.
In a statement, Belinda Wright said:
"He will probably be best remembered for decades to come as Hagrid in the Harry Potter films, a role which brought joy to children and adults alike all over the world, prompting a stream of fan letters every week for over 20 years."
She described him as a "wonderful actor" and "forensically intelligent" and said he is survived by his sister Annie Rae, his children Spencer and Alice and their mother Rhona Gemmell.
