LONDON: Robbie Coltrane, the baby-faced comedian and character actor whose hundreds of roles included a crime-solving psychologist on the TV series 'Cracker' and the gentle half-giant Hagrid in the 'Harry Potter' movies, has died. He was 72.

Coltrane's agent Belinda Wright said he died Friday at a hospital in his native Scotland, and did not immediately offer other details. She called him 'forensically intelligent' and 'brilliantly witty' in just one of many tributes made to him.
