| | |  Potter actor used for crime fighting
The image of actor Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) is being used by New Zealand police to catch a teenage burglar plaguing the Christchurch area.
Police clarified that the actor, known widely for his beloved portrayal of the gentle half-giant Hagrid, is not being suspected of any crimes. However the 16 year old suspect bears a strong resemblance to him, and due to a New Zealand law that prevents using photos of juvenile criminals in wanted posters, police have resorted to using the actor’s image with an additional explanation printed on the notice: “Robbie Coltrane is not the burglar but imagine him aged 16 with lank greasy hair and you have the picture.”
Coltrane was unavailable for comment at the time of publication.
Below is a copy of the wanted poster with Coltrane's image:

@ topic:
Robert Coltrane is not the burglar but it's a novel idea nonetheless. I wonder what he thinks about this. I like that Idea.
Robbie Coltrane is not the burlar but he IS Hagrid!  | |

well, I imagine they got Robbie's permission first.
*rotfl* this is kind of funny. "Robbie Coltrane is not the burglar but imagine him aged 16 with lank greasy hair and you have the picture.”
