Rupert Grint has explained why he didn't attend his Harry Potter co-star Robbie Coltrane's funeral.
Actor Robbie was known for playing half-giant, half-human Hogwarts gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid in the movie franchise before his death from multiple organ failure, in October last year.
And, while Rupert, 34, who played Ron Weasley in the movies, says he looked up to Robbie, he chose not to go to his funeral last year.
