Robbie Coltrane got interviewed by the BBC:
He recalls the laughs he had on the set with the film's young stars. "It's very important to have an off-screen chemistry with the children if you're going to have it on-screen," he says.
"Kids can't fake liking somebody so we hung out a bit beforehand."
And "hanging out" sometimes meant having jokes played on him, as Emma Watson, 11, who plays the clever and snooty Hermione Granger, recalls.
"We made labels saying 'kick me' and stuck them on Robbie's back," she grins, adding that the 51-year-old actor noticed something was wrong after being kicked about three times.
But she says he took it well: "Robbie Coltrane's got the best sense of humour ever."
"It's impossible to change it back unless you know the Turkish for 'change language'," laughs Coltrane, whose dressing room was placed right next to those of the children until he asked for it to be moved.
"I said, 'get me away from those beasts'," he smiles.
But he did get his own back on them too. "If the camera's on them and you stick your finger up your nose, they're gone," he says, deadpan.
But Coltrane - whose own son was an extra in Harry Potter and thought his dad was Mr Cool for playing Hagrid - has a real affection for the children.
He describes Radcliffe, Watson and Rupert Grint, who plays Harry Potter's friend Ron, as "proper kids" not "showbiz brats", and says they were easy and fun to work with.
He found Watson the most professional, and says she has a "tremendous natural elegance about her".
