Emma Watson was among several Harry Potter cast members who paid tribute this weekend to their beloved co-star Robbie Coltrane, who died Friday (Oct 14) at age 72.

On her Instagram story, Watson shared a sweet photo of her and Coltrane catching up while filming HBO Max's Harry Potter reunion special last year. In the fantasy films, Watson played brilliant young witch Hermione Granger while Coltrane portrayed gentle half-giant wizard Rubeus Hagrid.
