Robbie Coltrane has hinted that he may not re-appear as the lovable giant Hagrid in the next Harry Potter book to be filmed, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" reports The Herald.
The actor said recently he was unsure whether he would rejoin the Potter franchise after this year's movie, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," saying that "It's open to negotiations . . . I know the answer and it's 'I don't know'. That's that." He declined to comment any further on the future of the role, instead praising "Goblet of Fire", although he admitted it was a very complicated plot.
Meanwhile, author JK Rowling said she would soon be taking several months off to look after her new child and will not start writing the final Potter novel for some time. She said recently "I have just completed the very last tiny edits on Half Blood Prince so I'm now taking a few months off to concentrate on my new daughter (not to mention the old daughter and the not so old son)."
