For the role of Hagrid, Robbie Coltrane, by no means short at 6 ft.,1 in., wore special boots that made him at least seven inches taller. "When I donned them, I surprised even myself," Coltrane said in a recent interview. "I became the giant with the huge wig, the special shoulders on the costume, and the boots.
During filming, the Creature Effects Department built an animatronic head for Hagrid, with moving eyes and lips based on a mould of actor Robbie Coltrane's actual face. The animatronic head was worn by stunt doubles during Hagrid's action scenes and in wide shots.
However, the VFX team often superimposed Coltrane's body into scenes with the help of a green screen to make Hagrid look larger than the characters next to him. For Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Columbus hired Martin Bayfield, a 6'10" former rugby player as the perfect body double for Hagrid.
they used a body double for any wide shots. For the body double, they put an animatronic head on top of him. that was in the shape of Robbie Coltrane's face. So it looked like the act of Robbie Coltrane, but it's just like a robotic head on the body double.
It took at least an hour and a half for makeup and costume artists to transform him into Hagrid. "First, I had a bushy beard, then this extra-large wig, circa Dallas 1984, plus layers upon layers of clothes," he said.

According to a number of reports, Coltrane died from multiple organ failure. According to his death certificate, the actor, who played Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter franchise, had been suffering from sepsis, lower respiratory tract infection and heart block.
Rubeus Hagrid is a gatekeeper of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is very distinguishable through the way he speaks. The dialect is a part of England dialects because Rowling is from England. Therefore, the environment influences her to write based on her surroundings.
Rubeus Hagrid originally purchased Fluffy from a "Greek chappie" in a pub. Hagrid loaned Fluffy to the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, to aid in guarding the Philosopher's Stone, during the 1991–1992 school year.
At the height of 5' 7" she has played a giant in the films Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010) and Into the Woods (2014).
Originally Answered: How did they make Hagrid to appear so large on screen? They used several tricks to make Robbie Coltrane appear larger on the silver screen- including not even using Robbie Coltrane! He had a larger body-double who wore his prosthetics (beard etc.) in some shots.
Hagrid attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1940 and was sorted into Gryffindor house. In Hagrid's third year, he was framed by Tom Riddle for the crime of opening the Chamber of Secrets and using his pet Acromantula to attack several Muggle-born students and eventually killing one of them.
Hagrid was a little more creative in his linguistic choices, invoking the occasional 'Gallopin' Gorgons' rather than taking it out on poor Merlin; while Filch, who was unable to perform curses of the magical kind, had perfected the art of magical cusses with aplomb, spitting out 'great sizzling dragon bogies…
One of the best reasons Hagrid is a good friend to Harry is that he never judged Harry for where he came from or who he is. He never shamed Harry for his past or belittled him for his lack of magic knowledge.
When Hagrid first introduced himself to Harry he told him to call him that, so that's just the name that Hagrid prefers. My brother does that too. All of his friends call him by our last name.
That same year, Aragog contracted an unknown illness over the summer, and despite Hagrid's attempts to heal and comfort Aragog by feeding him giant grubs, he eventually died on 20 April 1997.
Loyalty. Buckbeak (temporarily renamed Witherwings during 1996 to deceive the Ministry) (fl. 1993 - 1998) was a hippogriff. He lived with Rubeus Hagrid and many other Hippogriffs, but was later sentenced to death, due to being taunted and provoked by Draco Malfoy and attacking him.
Hagrid doesn't have a patronus. It's heartbreaking that one of the biggest animal lovers in the series couldn't conjure up the spell to have a protective charm in animal form. In a tweet, Rowling said that Hagrid couldn't produce a patronus because it's a very difficult spell.
Harry Potter had a few love interests during his time at Hogwarts. Though he eventually settled down with Ginny Weasley, he also had a thing for Cho Chang in his earlier school years. Then, of course, there's his secret love for Draco Malfoy… Wait, what?
In the books, Pansy Parkinson has a schoolgirl crush on Draco, and they went together to the Yule Ball. However, there was no true love between them. In the Cursed Child, Draco Malfoy's wife is Astoria Greengrass. Later, after Astoria's death, Draco says that he would “sell [his] soul for another minute with Astoria.”
Their first kiss happens on the front steps of Malfoy Manor. Harry brings Draco his wand after speaking at his trial, “This is yours; thank you.” And this time, Draco won't let him walk away. Harry turns to leave and Draco grabs his arm, turns him back and kisses him.
