‘Harry Potter’ Actor Robert Hardy Passes Away At 91
Special Counsel Robert Mueller Impanels Grand Jury In Russia Probe
August 3, 2017PRICELESS. A 7-Episode Soap Opera Series Was Filmed Inside IKEA WITHOUT THE STORE’S KNOWLEDGE.
August 3, 2017Despite my frequent jabs at J.K. Rowling, I appreciate her creativity and COMPLETELY acknowledge that she’s a brilliant novelist. Heck– I still get excited when Freeform announces “Harry Potter Weekend.” Speaking of, one of the movie’s most beloved actors has passed away.
The Harry Potter actor Robert Hardy has died at the age of 91, his family has said.
Hold up. He was in his nineties? He looked so much younger.
Hardy’s family announced his death and paid tribute to an actor whose theatre, film and television career spanned 70 years.
His children Emma, Justine and Paul said: “Gruff, elegant, twinkly, and always dignified, he is celebrated by all who knew him and loved him, and everyone who enjoyed his work.
“We are immensely grateful to the team at Denville Hall [a London retirement home for actors] for the tender care they gave during his last weeks.”
Hardy was also known for his many portrayals of Winston Churchill and as the irascible vet Siegfried Farnon in All Creatures Great and Small.
J.K. Rowling had this to say:
So very sad to hear about Robert Hardy. He was such a talented actor and everybody who worked with him on Potter loved him.

It's so hard to see these talented actors that we learned to admire through the Potter movies passing away 🙁

I had the pleasure of working with him in his role as a trustee of the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. A very generous man and great actor.
