We, the whole family from north to south USA, are going to universals Wizarding world in three weeks because we are all huge Harry Potter fans. This makes me sad.

He played practically the same character in HP. I always wondered if that was where jk Rowling got the idea. There was a character in red dwarf who was a dupe of mad eye moody too.

RIP Robbie. Thanks for the memories!

Emma Watson gave him a big hug. Nice that they got to spend some time with him when they filmed that.

Guest spots in "The Comic Strip Presents...", "The Young Ones" and "Blackadder", Mona Lisa, National Treasure ... he was excellent in so many things as well as the stuff the obituaries are concentrating on.
